re: First Committee Rankings reveal LSU is only backdoor playoff possibility.

Ole Miss and Mississippi state were in the first ever playoff poll. The initial ranking means as much as the skid marks in your underwear. There is a ton of football left, and these are kids. Half the board had Oklahoma written in stone, and then Kansas State took them to the woodshed. the Ohio State Juggernaut lost by multiple touchdowns to Purdue not long ago. Clemson needed a 2PC stop to squeak by North Carolina. I know upsets aren't super common in the SEC anymore, but they still happen around the country with regularity
