re: If Ga. wins tomorrow will lsu fans lobby for a backdoor into the playoffs?

If you don’t win your conference, in today’s format, you should not get in.


I honestly agree.

BUT, since the precedent has already been set, and non-conference champions have already been allowed in, LSU with their resume' should get that same courtesy.

Now if the committee had stuck with "only conference champions" from day 1, I'd say LSU shouldn't be in.

This is a good take.

I think it is a great question for LSU fans though, before the game.

Last season before the SECCG, I think UGA fans thought of the CCG as a play-in game. After the game was so close to the greatest team in college football history, the UGA narrative changed to "best 4 teams" and the focus turned to inconsistencies in playoff invitations (best 4 teams? Or play-in game).

I like the idea that the game means something. I like the idea that it is a play in (must win) game.

But it bothers me the inconsistencies with the selection committee. If a team has earned a mulligan, it would be LSU.
