No, L6u would lose to all of the top 6.
LSU would pound Wash and probably Michigan. They would have a shot against the rest. quote:
Bama played down to L6u and had a pretty dismal offensive game
That is such BS. You had a dismal offensive game because our D gave it to you. Don't act like you should have rolled us offensively.

From what I've gathered, the committee is trying to put the teams in the top four that will be able to compete with Alabama. The only team that I think can give Alabama a good game would be Ohio State. After watching Clemson take down Louisville I think Alabama would dominate a game against Louisville. As much as Clemson struggled with their schedule I think the tide would dominate that game as well. I'm unsure of Michigan but I don't think they match up well with Alabama's athletes. So yeah, I think they have a agenda.
This is a year why a 4 team playoff seems redundant. The only team to play Alabama is Alabama. The CFP this year really might be the Iron Bowl because as a rival game, it can go either way come game day no matter what the stats say going into the game.
The issue I have with the B1G is they have been beating the Michigan and Ohio State drum all season when perhaps they should have been beating the drum for Wisconsin and Penn State as well. B1G CCG could be Penn State vs Wisconsin but the media hype would have you believe it will be Michigan and Ohio State getting into the CFP.

Because the teams that are below the teams that lost aren't better. Losing does not mean a team is worse than another team.
Michigan is still a great team that has had some quality wins, and Clemson owns the head to head vs. Louisville. Washington dropping to 6 is warranted considering their relatively weak SOS.

If this is the Top 8 in the CFP talks this week, I would take LSU at 50% or better in all games except Alabama.
Week 12 CFP Rankings
1 Alabama
2 Ohio State
3 Michigan
4 Clemson
5 Louisville
6 Washington
7 Wisconsin
8 Penn State
Tigers have 3 losses
2 points to Wisconsin in a veritable home game for the Badgers
5 points to Auburn in a home game for Auburn
10 points to Alabama
I am pretty sure the Bear never beat Tennessee when Neyland was coaching there. The Bear was great but Neyland may have been better head to head. Until Saban leaves Alabama we will not fully appreciate how good some of the SEC coaches are just because they are unable to beat Saban.
Just getting tired of all this "B1G is best" this season by the talking heads because 4 teams are above average.

Bryant was 0-5-2 against Neyland, but that was while he was at Maryland and Kentucky, not Alabama. Neyland retired in 1952 and Bryant didn't start head coaching (at Maryland) until around 1946 or 47).

True, but while at Kentucky, he had them at the best they ever were
1949 took UK to Orange Bowl and lost
1950 took UK to Sugar Bowl and won
1951 took UK to Cotton Bowl and won
At UK, Bryant had UK in the Top 20 for 5 straight years
1949
1950
1951
1952
1953
Kentucky and Maryland bowl games were part of the impetus to move final polls from end of season to end of bowl season we have today.

Wouldn't take LSU against Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Wisconsin, or Penn State. Would maybe take them against Louisville and Washington, and would more than likely take them against Michigan due to their QB being hurt.

The only team that deserves to be up there is Alabama and maaaaaaybe Michigan. I also believe that LSU would be the majority of teams in the top 6. Except Alabama of course and possibly Michigan. Sorry I'm bias towards the SEC
Yeah..
Clemson would skull frick LSU

The SEC isn't good this year
We had a thread on this the other looking at all of the composite computer rankings that Massey pulls together.
SEC had strongest avg. Rank in the country at about 40.
B1G was 3rd or 4th at an avg rank of 55.
With 4 or 5 teams in the top 20, an avg rank of 55 shows the disparity between the upper and lower echelons of the B1G.
I bet the SEC ends up with 10+ bowl teams and does pretty well as always.
The heavy middle tier teams in the SEC ensure fewer gimmes where the upper tier team just show up and blow out a far inferior opponent. About 5 teams in the B1G fit that category.
