re: Playoffs TBD

Everyone (well, most everyone but all lsu fans) is hellbent on assuming LSU gets the 4th spot if they lose to us but I'm really not so sure. It would truly be the first time it's happened so until it actually does happen for the first time I wouldn't be so sure on predicting it. The committee has proven time and time again it HIGHLY values conference championships. I think it's a given OSU and Clemson are in at this point. If we beat LSU we're obviouly in so your 4th spot would be between

1-loss Pac12 champion (oregon or utah)
1-loss Big12 champion (OU or baylor)
1-loss LSU that did not win their conference

It wouldn't necessarily shock me if they did make it in but they'd have a whale of a decision to make. This is completely and totally irrelevant to the decision-making process, but IMO I would also think that deep down inside the committee would really rather not have 2 teams form the same conference. And at least in 2017 you could get away with it because the 2 teams hand't played that season. In this case you'd have UGA beating LSU in early December then playing them again a month later...how is that fair?
