We just wouldn't be in, nothing to do with politics.

Politics? We lost 3 games lol. Were the highest ranked 3 loss team.

Also with the way the automatic bids work we would need more help than we can get to get a slot.

No.. as of now, we would be looking in and most likely be on the outside with the G5 automatic qualifier.

Currently, we would be the 2nd team out. Tulane would take Oklahoma's spot and be the 1st team out.

No, we would be screwed by our record. Or our defense more specifically.

No?

As the way it currently sits, the top 11 ranked teams would make the playoff plus the highest ranked group of 5 conference champ which would likely be 22 ranked Tulane.

If they leave it at 6 highest ranked conference champs, with the Pac 12 dissolving, it would likely mean that the top 10 would be in plus 2 conference champs that likely won’t be in the top 10. AAC (Tulane) plus Oregon St or Liberty.

So going forward, we would essentially need to be ranked in the top 10 to get in the playoffs

I’m not sure if they’ve announced the exact criteria for choosing the 12 teams—I’m pretty sure they haven’t—but LSU is the 5th SEC team this year. Behind Georgia, Bama, Missouri, and Ole Miss. Can’t imagine they’ll have 5 teams from 1 conference yet.

No. In case you missed it, we are currently ranked in the college football playoff rankings at #13, so we would be outside of the top 12. Each team that is playing for their respective conference championship is playing an extra game.

I think we are overlooking the $$$ factor. If you don’t think the “committee” will consider the venue and how much money they can grab, we haven’t been paying attention. LSU definitely makes the top 12…. Take it to the bank.

No - OM loss would knock us out of the playoffs just like it may result in JD getting screwed out of the Heisman.
Never wish bad but if Nix got a targeting hit not called like JD did against AL and sat after the 1st Q, Karma will have won out.

Obviously no. Currently there are no 3 loss teams in the top 12. We are 13. Of the three loss teams the committee seems to imply by this that LSU is the best of them.

If we had a 12 team playoff this year we would be looking at that Ole Miss game with even more disgust than we do now. We would easily be in.
