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.

I can't see any way that Georgia falls out of the top 4 by losing to LSU, with the possible exception that LSU mudholes them, which I just cannot see happening, in fact I just can't see LSU beating them, but LSU does seem to play up (or down) to their opponents. Barring a crazy loss by TCU, Tennessee, or the Michigan/tOSU winner in the B1G CCG, I just don't see any way the top 4 are not UGA Michigan/tOSU, TCU, and Tennessee. LSU "may" have had a case if they had lost that second game in a close match at home to someone NOT named Tennessee, but that loss kills their hopes.

LSU has two losses and one of them is to Tennessee.

Beating the team that beat the team that you lost to does not make you better than the team you lost to. EVER.
