LSU vs. Texas A&M feels like a must win for each team if they want to make the playoffs.
If LSU loses they will have two losses with remaining games against: @UK, Mississippi State, @Auburn, Alabama, Texas, @Tennessee. If they lose to TAM they would need to go undefeated the rest of the way to assure a playoff spot.
Texas A&M is in a similar situation if they lose. Their remaining schedule includes: @Missouri, @Alabama, @South Carolina, Tennessee, @OU, Texas.
It feels like the LSU vs. TAM game is effectively an elimination game.

You have to be in serious contention for it to be an elimination game. Losing at home to UK in football and being in serious contention are mutually exclusive.

A loss for LSU and they're going to be in a dog fight for bowl eligibility

Well luckily your talking about two of the most rational fanbases around so neither will jump off the deep end with a loss....... 
I feel there is way more pressure on LSU, if their DC shits the bed again against Reed I'm not sure he makes it til Monday. LSU just lost more than quarter of their passing game with lost of their TE. I see it as a toss up depending on Reed, and currently I have zero confidence in him.

Yep LSU, A&M, OK and SC are all under a bunch of pressure. They would probably have to run the table to make the playoff with a loss.

Kinda early to talk elimination games. A lot of season left.

LSU by far.

LSU and A$M will be side by side.

If a team starts out the SEC slate by going 0-2 they will need to go 7-0 the rest of the way to have a chance of accomplishing anything more than a middle of the road bowl game.
It would still be mathematically possible they could win the SEC and make the CFP. But highly unlikely.
At this time next week either LSU or Texas A&M will be sitting at 2-2 overall, 0-2 and in last place in the SEC. That team will then need to go undefeated the rest of the season.

Let's see if the CFP values SOS this season. Could see some 9-3 teams make it. The other conferences have weak arse schedules and teams.

I highly doubt it

Then there's no reason to play a 9 game conference schedule

LSU and A$M
Didn't LSU just spend more on their roster than A&M? Is that dollar sign quite the cut you think it is these days?

LSU not making the playoffs this year will be abject failure and will deem their latest coaching hire as a failure as well after everything that was promised.

There isn't. No additional TV revenue, no guarantees from the CFP on SoS being considered, and a stalemate over expansion to 16 vs 24.
Sankey is a retard.

LSU, just like this week.

If it goes to 24, I'm done watching this sport.

I’m hammering Oklahoma +14 1/2
That is a dangerous game for Georgia
They don’t think Oklahoma is very good and will be taking it lightly.
OU is desperate with nothing to lose and the best defense in football. It very be very close

Probably not a good match up for uga, but uga is the better team

I believe about $5,000,000 more… or one good QB.
