Notre Dame has three losses. They ain’t picking them over Tennessee haha
If ND gets Orange Bowl they would still be playing SEC school.I think the orange bowl gets Notre Dame if they win this week. That will knock the SEC teams down a bowl, likely pushing LSU to the Cotton (makes sense geographically) and pushes TN to the Citrus bowl. After reviewing all the bowl tie-ins I really think the Citrus is our ceiling if ND wins against USC. This would have been amazing if you asked fans pre-season, but incredibly disappointing now.
South Carolina is a pretty bad loss. Do not think LSU has a loss to an unranked team.I'm very confused about 2-loss LSU being ranked so far ahead of Tennessee. Yes, we lost. But we beat them head to head and our best wins are against the same team.
That's what it says.I looked it up. ND can't go as ACC team. Orange Bowl won't pair Clemson/NC/ FSU against ND.
LSU would be a three loss team with a loss to UT...UT would (hopefully) be a 2 loss team only. They would fall below us in that circumstance.Don’t be surprised to see LSU still above Tennessee with a loss to UGA. TCU could also stay above them with a loss to Kstate and Kstate would leapfrog us.
You would think so. But 2 loss Bama and LSU are ahead of 1 loss teams. Typically losing in the championship weekend doesn't penalize you as much either unless its convincingly.LSU would be a three loss team with a loss to UT...UT would (hopefully) be a 2 loss team only. They would fall below us in that circumstance.
Now, they beat UGA or we lose to Vandy--all bets are off.
You left out Auburn beating Alabama to add to the chaos...and Oregon St. besting Oregon.If you are talking about our chances, I think we need the following aka Chaos:
If that happens in next 2 weeks, you'd have 10-2 Bama and 10-2 Tennessee and 11-1 OSU or Michigan loser sitting there with 13-0 UGA, 13-0 OSU/Michigan Winner (assuming they take Big Ten Title) with the final 2 playoff spots up for grabs.
- LSU loses in Atlanta / 3rd loss kicks them out of Top 10
- USC loses vs Notre Dame / 2 loss would drop them out of Top 6
- TCU loses vs Iowa State to send them spiraling out of Top 10 with a loss to a 4-7 team
- Clemson loses vs South Carolina or UNC to drop them at least behind us
Operation Chaos would be lovely
South Carolina is a pretty bad loss. Do not think LSU has a loss to an unranked team.
And LSU will most likely be a 3 loss team and ranked below us after they play UGA....of course, if the beat UGA, then they deserve the CFP.
The Aggies are 3-7. If they beat LSU they are gonna tumble. Heck they barely escaped Arkansas last week 13-10. They will for sure drop if that happens.I still think the Aggies beat them this weekend in College Station and that’s a win win for everybody. I can see Ga playing a close game like they did against KY and the committee not punishing LSU for a close loss.
This. All day. We went from 5 to 9 losing to a better SEC team than aTm this year.The Aggies are 3-7. If they beat LSU they are gonna tumble. Heck they barely escaped Arkansas last week 13-10. They will for sure drop if that happens.
Yeah perception is you cant lose a starting qb and be better. Oddly enough Milton is a major wildcard. Its like he cant run the offense overall as efficiently but his ability to completely flip field on 1 play is far greater than Hookers was. However Hooker worked the field better and not as erratic. If Milton can show we can still score 30 to 40 points in a win who knows if the decision makers believe he is capable of a better opponent in a bowl or if they attribute it to Vanderbilt being weak.Bama and LSU are getting better each week.
We aren't and our qb is out. Therefore it is logical to assume we can no longer beat a top 10 team.
And Washington, Michigan, Oregon, Penn St. Kansas St, and UNC. Then LSU loses to GA, OSU to Iowa, Clemson to UNC, TCU to KSTATE, USC to whomever. Then you have 3 loss champions Pac, Big 12, ACC, an OSU team that lost to Iowa and a OSU and MI team whose only wins were PSU who lost to Michigan St as runner ups to Iowa. If SC beats Clemson, LSU and Georgia win before they play each other that is huge in this mix. Vols and Milton destroy Vandy. That leaves Georgia, Bama and Tennessee and Notre Dame.I wanna see oregon lose. Usc lose. Lsu lose. Tcu lose. And Clemson lose
