Because Tennessee beat LSU at LSU and will have one less loss

It really isn't even a question that Tennessee gets in over LSU.

It's blatantly obvious

LOL. Come on. Blatantly obvious?

LSU will finish with a stronger SOC than Tennessee.
LSU would have in this scenario beaten the clear #1 team in UGA.
LSU would be champs of the toughest conference.

LSU 11-2 and hardware >>> Tennessee 11-1 no hardware


Tennessee needs LSU to lose the SECCG, among several other things like TCU loss, USC loss.

IF LSU beat Georgia, and that’s a huge if, and the SEC were getting two teams in, you can’t argue the committee wouldn’t have a hard time deciding between GEORGIA or Tennessee.

Because in either outcome of the SEC title game, they look pretty good. 11-1 SEC team with a blowout road win over the SEC champion, or, 11-1 SEC team with their only loss being a road game against the #1 ranked SEC champion.

They pass the eye and resume test in every way. Fun, exciting, fresh name with a Heisman caliber QB people want to see in the playoffs.

2 loss teams that get blown out at home and lose in New Orleans to really bad teams don't make the playoffs with 11-1 teams who beat them sitting at home.

Yeah it is blatantly obvious

Your sos doesn't overcome losing at home to a team with less losses

Winning a conference didn't help Penn State when they beat Ohio State and won the conference with another loss

Sorry

LSU is delusional.

Tennessee is the obvious and head to head far away better choice.

Georgia then Tennessee and then if they ever put 3 in LSU.

Should have won the game or not lost to Florida State in 2022

Oh I'm sorry you thought it was comparable

Penn state beat Ohio State at home

LSU got skullfricked by Tennessee at home.

There is no question who is better between LSU and Tennessee.

The extra loss just makes it that much easier to discount the extra game.

Can’t discount a win over #1 uga the day before.

Can discount meaningless game 1.

Sure you can. It's really easy.

Discount a loss. Discount an extra game.

Who won head to head in convincing fashion at LSU.

Wow that was easy.

Yes but you have a lose against a 3 lose FSU team in the dome. Basically a home game for LSU.

You lost to Florida State and eliminated yourselves from the playoffs

Pretty embarrassing no?

Got the entire fan bases actually forgetting that ever happened. The disappointment is what I hoped for Kelly.

Pretty much anyone who actually knows anything about college football knows LSU still has a shot at the playoff.

It isn't surprising that you think they don't.

They need Tennessee to lose

They do still have a chance that is correct

LSU has no shot of beating UGA zero…. You barely beat Arky! That loss to FSU isn’t going away…. And yes FSU is horrible

Pretty much every scenario I've seen has Tennessee winning out and LSU still getting in.

But it isn't surprising that you don't know how it works.

The only surprising thing is how much Brian Kelly and LSU absolutely trigger the frick out of you.



There are several Kentucky fans here like that, it's quite weird.
