Everyone. Getting to Atlanta is the first goal. You are giving LSU a free pass every year.


(1) Sure it is, but tell the East teams over the last 5 years that. They "got" to Atlanta. It didn't matter. They got knuckle punched and everyone knew they would.

(2) I don't think it's a given LSU freely goes to Atlanta every year. Look at the last 9 years of the SEC West (since Bama arrived).
- 2008, 3rd, would not have gone (Ole Miss)
- 2009, 2nd, would have gone
- 2010, T2nd, would not have gone (Arkansas)
- 2011, 1st, would have gone
- 2012, T2nd behind UA, would have gone
- 2013, 3rd behind UA/AU, would have gone
- 2014, 5th, would not have gone (Mississippi St)
- 2015, T4th, would not have gone (Ole Miss)
- 2016, T2nd, would have gone

So, 5 of the last 9 years they would have gone. And that is with A&M being unable to beat them for 5 straight years.

They accomplished that with Ole Miss cheating their dicks off though. OM can't do that anymore so it's back to the cellar. Sumlin is getting canned after this year so that'll be a rebuilding job. LSU would have an easy path.

Imagine the threads though when the cross division opponents play out like this:

2019 LSU gets Auburn, Georgia, Florida
2019 Arkansas gets Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina
2019 Alabama gets Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Mizzou

You cannot win the SEC unless you go to Atlanta. Not sure you realize this.

Exactly and the years they dont go the second best team in the SEC is likely at home while the SEC East team pummels Arkansas or Miss St. This is a ridiculous idea and will never happen
