You can say that if you like, but the committee has LSU slotted perfectly to jump Tennessee, as of now.


Being next numerically in a poll does not mean the teams are close, it means there's no one in between them. that isn't the same thing. Not only would a 2 loss LSU not have a strong argument against Tennessee, they wouldn't have a strong argument against the loser of the Ohio St-Michigan game either.

Georgia is going to beat the breaks off LSU so this argument doesn't really need to be solved, but the idea that people think LSU is better positioned than Tennessee to make the playoff is so laughably absurd that it reveals to the rest of us that the people who believe it do not understand the sport they love.

all your mocking comments ignored, it's you that doesn't seem to understand the sport.

#1 will play #5, same day #2 and #3 play. #4 will be sitting at home.

If 5 beats 1, and 2 and 3 both win, then 2, 3 and 5 move up. 1 drops, it's a question of whether they fall beneath the idle 4.

Usually, they would. Usually they fall out of the top 5.

It gets interesting here, because in this case #1 beat #4 head to head, won the division over them, and still have a better overall record.
