re: So if Bama were to beat lsu

I just wonder why losing cuz you sucked a dick one game doesn't penalize you?

It certainly worked for Bama in 2011.

The rest of the country would be pissed. It is an interesting hypothetical. If Bama ends up 12-1 and the SEC champ and LSU is 11-1 with it's only loss to the #2 team in the final 4, how far can you really drop them? It would even have potential for an LSU vs Bama National Championship rematch.

Bama would be #1 and Lsu should be top 4 in that case. I don't give a frick what everyone else thinks, 4 best teams regardless should be in the cfpo.

Because your fans are making excuses for the loss four days before the game.

The sec rant operates simultaneously with the opinions that 1) if LSU fans think they will beat bama, they are idiots and their cockiness will bleed into the locker room and b) if LSU fans discuss scenarios that include LSU losing to Bama, we are scared and already making excuses.

I seriously wonder if some of you realize how ignorant you are.

Carry on.

I highly doubt the selection committee is going to discredit LSU not playing a 12th game the first week of the year vs McNeese State. Especially if the only loss is a respectable one at that.

To the poster above you...Alabama will not be #1 with 1-loss if Clemson stays undefeated. Clemson will have an impressive resume and no blemishes.

to your 1st statement, I hope you're right. If not if I were Les Miles I would personally show up on ESPN and complain. Hypothetically, lets say Bama beats LSU by a field goal. Hypothetically, lets say LSU beats OLE MISS at their home and wins out(the team that beat Bama at their place)

Alabama 12-1 SEC champs, LSU 10-1 with their only loss to Alabama in their place and they have a heisman running back and beat the team that beat Bama.

There'd be LITERALLY no reason to not include LSU as #4. It would be the biggest travesty ever considering Alabama snuck in losing by a field goal to LSU in 2011 and considering alabama lost at HOME that year...LSU would be losing AWAY this year.

I would literally quit watching football if this scenario played out and LSU wasn't #4.

I'm ok with lsu at 4 who the frick wouldn't be?

you say that now, but Alabama got the benefit of the doubt in 2011 and got the benefit of the doubt today. Watch LSU not get the benefit of the doubt if the same scenario plays out.

If they DO get the benefit of the doubt in the double 1 loss LSU/Alabama scenario then I would make it my sig and I'd never bash the media for bama bias or anything ever again.

LSU and Bama both need to win the conference. If you don't win your conference you don't deserve to be in. LSU needs to beat Bama Saturday. No way the committee lets 2 SEC teams in.

2011 Alabama says Hi

Benefit of doubt, what are you talking about? Alabama and LSU were the best teams that year am I wrong?

The selection committee just validates that game as well. Not only did 2011 Oklahoma State have a shitty loss, they didn't play a conference championship game either. If you apply todays logic to that situation, Ok State isn't getting into that championship game no matter what.

LSU fan's just hang their hat on that because we would have done to Ok State what Alabama did to us.

Based on what?

---

Based on their only loss coming to the undisputed #1 team in their home by a field goal, and trouncing all other opposition and beating the SEC East champs and having the heisman player. And beating the team that beat the #1 team. It would be a stronger SOS by a slight margin than a 1 loss Big 12 champ.

Edit: In fact, what guarantees LSU a spot at #4 over 1 loss big 12 is the fact that LSU would have also defeated the SEC east champs, same as Alabama.
