You don’t have to issue a disclaimer. IMO, the #4 team winning a conference game at home is hardly a huge upset.
you wouldn't think so, but a great number of LSU fans (on here, not normal people in real life) take personal offense to any discussion that includes them possibly losing a game.

what are you talking about? UGA isn't involved in this, if we win we are obviously in.

But, you would be getting blown out by the team that got beat by Muschamp at home.

No. I also think if Wisconsin made the playoffs with that win and had the same record as OSU it might give them pause.

If Georgia beat LSU in a close game, Georgia might still be the #4 team.
Remember Penn St/Minnesota from like 2 weeks ago?
Georgia has a really bad loss. Also, they'll compare our common opponents and the A&M games aren't even close. We also played much better against Florida.
I wouldn't be surprised if these were the final rankings (with LSU losing)
1 OSU
2 Clemson
3 LSU
4 Georgia
else
It would look like this
1 OSU
2 Clemson
3 Georgia
4 LSU
Georgia has no chance to jump OSU or Clemson unless they lose.

That’s only because Minnesota started out ranked a lot lower. If Georgia wins then LSU moves to 4 and Georgia to 3.

there is no way whatsoever that we would be ranked behind LSU if we win.
-Both teams would be 12-1
-UGA would be a conference champ, LSU would not
-UGA would have just beaten LSU head ot head
-LSU would have 3 wins over top 15 teams, UGA would have 4

1) LSU very likely wins so this is a don't care,
2) the committee doesn't care about rematches, they seed them as they believe the teams are ranked.
For instance, had Notre Dame beat UGA this year and won out and made the playoff, you are saying that either they or possible SEC champ UGA can't both be in the playoff. There's no such criteria.
Or in 2017, had Ohio State not lost a stinker to Iowa and instead were a 1 loss B1G champ, you are saying the committee would not let both Oklahoma and Ohio State be in the playoff because a possible rematch could have happened. No! All season long, people were hoping for the rematch.
Nowhere in their criteria are they to either consider or prevent rematches.

how do you justify leaving out a 1 loss conference champ?

I never said there was any such criteria, and I never said it wans't possible. I said it's never happened and I suspect the committee would ideally like to avoid it.

Nowhere in their criteria does it say you have to win your conference either but they've clearly shown that they take that into account, considering 90% of all playoff teams have done so.

Motherfricker thats why we are going to kick the dog shite out of uga when we play next Saturday. Stomp a damn mudhole...

I see you have a variety of talking points to discuss the matter at hand.

On Championship Drive today, Emmanuel Acho brought up a good point. He said in that scenario, LSU is in regardless and the debate should be between Big12, Utah, and Georgia. His point being that Georgia had the worst loss of all them.
ETA: fwiw I don't agree with him. But I do agree LSU would still get in. LSU is unequivocally better than those other 3.

The committee would be in a pickle:
On the one hand, I agree that letting LSU in would be bullshite.
On the other hand, leaving LSU our would also be bullshite considering how they handled Bama in the past.

holy shite, they let that guy speak on air? A 12-1 UGA with 4 top 15 wins that just beat #1/2 LSU for the title is not getting left out in any universe for any reason

and the 4 top 15 wins? The best win of any of the other teams combined? Winnning the tougher league?

Whichever outcome happens, you can easily say 1) It was the right call and deserved 2) It was total horse shite
