It will be fun coming down the wire.
I guess it all depends on what's more important to the committee.
1. Is who you beat more important than who you lose to? A&M really gets hurt here. While they have no "bad" losses, they really have no good wins unless you consider sweeping LSU to be "good" wins. On the flip side Ole Miss and LSU have their share of bad losses, but they each have some good wins: Ole Miss (Cincinnati, @ Oregon, @ Ark, A&M), LSU (UMass, @ WVU, UGA, @ OM)
2. How important is RPI? Here (at the moment) A&M, OM and UGA are in good shape. LSU (at the moment) isn't.
3. Does margin of victory in your losses make a difference? A&M, OM, LSU and UGA all were within a possession or two of beating UK, so that's a wash. A&M hasn't lost to any bad teams, but a few of their losses have been ugly (10+ points)LSU has lost to some bad teams but they haven't lost a game by double-digits all year. OM has only lost one game by more than 10 points
4. Is how "hot" you are at the end important? Right now OM and A&M are fine. LSU is up and down with the possibility of finishing strong. UGA seems to be fading

That's a good take.
I think LSU needs to get inside that top 50. I think aTm needs to beat a top 50 team.
If LSU can win and move up, that really helps aTm to get 2 top 50 wins.
