If Penn State Beats Ohio State and Georgia Beats LSU, who goes? This would be the most difficult decision to Committee yet. Two Sec teams or two big ten teams. Or something else. Who knows

Ohio state still plays in their conference championship. If LSU loses and Ohio state wins theirs, hate to be their bearer of bad news
Actually penn state already has a loss, LSU would be 4th UGA would be 2-3rd. Probably 3rd to avoid back to back games. I dunno that’s an interesting scenario, and a good reason to go to a 6 game playoff

I thought Penn would go with the head to head win seeing as their in the same division.

Maybe they’ll do them like they did bama and back door them to 4th

I'm not sold on Oregon or OU at all being elite teams but I'm telling you Utah is legit. They're very physical and have the best defense in the country. They would give any of the other top playoff contenders major problems. It would be a shame if they get jumped for a team that doesn't end up winning their conference.

Now, actually really thinking about it. I think Georgia and LSU still go. Ohio State I don’t think would play in their championship and I think LSU would get the nod if it was a close game. But still would be an intriguing scenario to see what would happen.

How about if Ohio State loses at Meechigan, which is more likely? They are playing better and this time of year you could get a weather game.

Michigan’s gone. Unless there’s not 4 one loss teams.

A one loss conference champ is going before a one loss conference runner up.
LSU has to beat UGA in order to go to the playoff.

Not sure how you can be sold on Utah then. Their best win is against an unranked, 6-4 Washington team and they lost to a USC team that lost to BYU and was shredded by Oregon.

I don’t think you can keep LSU out at this point barring a major collapse in these next 2 games. If Georgia wins the next three we’re in.
Biggest thing right now is that LSU and UGA have the most quality wins of anyone in the country

If LSU loses the SECCG , they are out unless , there are not three other one loss conference champs left. Then , they might have a chance to make it.
If Clemson and Ohio State win out they are both in.
The winner of the SECCG is in.
That leaves one slot. A one loss Okie or Utah conference champ will go before LSU.
I am not saying that either are better than LSU but that is the brutal truth.

LSU has the best resume in the country, the Heisman front runner at QB, and in your scenario would have only lost to the SEC champion.
LSU is getting in and that’s the brutal truth.

Not saying that don’t deserve to get in but if they lose to UGA and Clemson, Ohio State win out and either Oregon/Utah or Okie wins out one of them will go over LSU.
I don’t necessarily agree with that but that is what will happen.
I don’t think that will happen as LSU is going to win out and not let that even have a chance of happening.

You think the committee will take either a team that lost to a team that LSU beat, one that lost to an under .500 USC, or one that lost to unranked Kansas State over an LSU team that beat Texas(on the road), Auburn, Florida, Alabama(on the road), with their only loss being to the SEC champion?

Impossible to know without knowing how the SEC goes and what happens in the other games. If the SECC is a close UGA win, LSU is very much alive. If it’s a blow out, then no. Fortunately for LSU, UGA doesn’t have an offense that’s gonna blow anyone out.

That Texas win means shite...they lost AGAIN last night. They were waaayyy overrated coming into this season.
Auburn and Florida wins are quality but UGA beat them both, too, including a win @ Auburn.
Bama win is basically all you have to hang your hat on and we really don't know if they're good being they don't have a single quality win and we know their defense is suspect.
Also, the committee isn't looking at the quality of losses...that much is abundantly clear by looking at last week's ranking (OU over Baylor, UGA over OU/ORE/UT, etc.).

Bama is absolutely good and you know it. You don’t get to dismiss them in this scenario because it fits your argument.
The committee to this point hasn’t had to look at quality losses. But should LSU lose to UGA(
), they would be forced to. LSU’s body of work is better than the eventual PAC 12 and Big 12 winner.
