re: LSU has a great shot at making the playoff

Michigan winning the Big Ten with 2 losses, Big XII producing a 1-loss champion, and maybe Notre Dame or Stanford losing a game outside of the one they play against each other.

If LSU wins out and two of those things happen, LSU would be right there. If LSU wins out and all three of those things happen, they'd probably get in.

But that's a lot of ifs.
