And I wonder what happens if Baylor is an undefeated Big 12 Champ. Also for teams to jump InbredGumps Ohio State and Clemson can't lose. I can see Clemson running the table but Ohio State still has Penn State and Michigan to play. Bottom line is there is plenty of football left to played and its probably not going to end up like anyone is predicting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ga. only shot into the playoff is to win out, including the SECCG. InbredGumps has to pull for LSU to win out, including SECCG to have a shot to get into the playoff. Then it depends on what else happens out there. I've heard of "InbredGumps Fatigue" around the nation, but I doubt the committee goes on that. My personal hope is that Auburn beats InbredGumps and puts all that speculation to rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of "InbredGumps Fatigue" around the nation, but I doubt the committee goes on that. My personal hope is that Auburn beats InbredGumps and puts all that speculation to rest. Georgia's only path in is to win out including the seccg. InbredGumps needs a multitude of things to happen to get in. You're forgetting there's other teams outside the sec. If OU OR Baylor win out, the B12 champ is over InbredGumps. If Utah OR Oregon wins out, they're over InbredGumps. If Minnesota wins out, they're over InbredGumps. There's more, but InbredGumps's outside looking in already is the committee's way of saying "roll tide what? FU!" It's not impossible, but it's clear this committee favors quality wins over quality losses. This isn't the 2017 committee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Part of InbredGumps's problem this year is their schedule and the state of the SEC this year which is very top heavy. Right now their biggest win is against A&M, a team that isn't ranked in any poll. If they win out, their best win will be Auburn and they may be a 3 loss team by then. So the case is there to allow one loss conference champions to jump them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 And to top it off, it's kinda sad. Assuming we stay 1, we would get em at 4 and would destroy them on a neutral field. It'd be fantastic. But it's not gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InbredGumps's biggest problem is if Ga. beats LSU, Ga. is in, and LSU is the best 1 loss team. the 5 teams ranked immediately behind Alabama all have ample opportunities to jump them. Alabama has zero wins against currently ranked teams. and only Auburn left. meaning absolute best they can finish is 1-1 vs ranked schools with no conference title to prop them up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Several pundits are saying that Ohio State beating Penn State justifies voters to consider putting them ahead of LSU. Do they forget that LSU beat 4 top 10 ranked teams to Ohio States lone victory against a top 10 team (Penn State)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 LSU football: Can Tigers win national title with this defense? Les East | 2 hours ago The LSU defense is terrible. The LSU defense is getting its act together. 00:05 04:39 LSU can’t win a national championship with this defense. The LSU defense is inconsistent but good enough thanks to the offense. These are the thoughts that come to mind to anyone who has watched the Tigers this season. In fact these thoughts have come to mind within individual games, in fact most of them. Good. Terrible. Inconsistent. Good enough. Not good enough. These are recurring, appropriate descriptions of the defense of the No. 1 team in the country. Is the LSU defense good enough to win the college football championship? Good question. It has been good enough for the Tigers to go 11-0, win the SEC West and ascend above every other team in the country. It has been bad enough for observers to wonder if the Tigers would be undefeated, if they would have won the SEC West, if they would be ranked No. 1 had Joe Burrow not been nearly perfect. Had Burrow had one fewer touchdown drive in him, LSU might have lost to Texas, or Auburn, or Alabama. Or two of the three. Or all three. Is Burrow’s remarkable season merely postponing the moment when the Tigers defense will be exposed as an Achilles’ heel? Good question. Or is an inconsistent defense merely making a dominant team slightly less dominant than it otherwise would be on its way to a national championship? Another good question. No one is sure of the answers to these questions. Head coach Ed Orgeron isn’t sure. Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda isn’t sure. The Tigers players aren’t sure. The Tigers followers aren’t sure. How could they be? LSU held Georgia Southern to fewer than 100 yards in a season-opening win. It made a couple of first-half goal-line stands against Texas, then seemed defenseless in the second half. It was adequate against Northwestern State, then gave up way too many points against Vanderbilt, then was outstanding against Utah State. It was poor in the first half, then exceptional in the second half against Florida, solid throughout against Auburn. It was really good in the first half and really bad in the second half against Alabama. It was good in the first half and truly awful in the second half against Ole Piss. It was shaky early, then dominant, then really shaky against Arkansas on Saturday. It’s easy to assume the two Razorbacks touchdowns after LSU built a 56-6 lead was a result of the Tigers pulling their starters. But several starters were still on the field for those scores. Orgeron already had pulled key offensive players such as Burrow and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire while key defensive players stayed in the game and saw Arkansas reach the end zone twice. Certainly Orgeron and Aranda were hoping their first-team defense could continue to build confidence against a whipped opponent. Did the defense play better against Arkansas than it did a week earlier against Ole Piss? Sure it did. The Rebels ran for more than 400 yards, gained more than 600, scored 37 points. Arkansas barely reached 300 yards in a 56-20 loss. Is the LSU defense headed in the right direction? Who knows? Mostly when it has begun a game by playing well, it has played not so well later in the game. And vice versa. After a mostly good game it has generally had a mostly bad game. And vice versa. The LSU defense plays well, it plays badly. It plays badly, it plays well. How will it play against Texas A&M next Saturday? Probably good and bad, bad and good. There have been injuries on the Tigers defense. The Tigers have played one of the most difficult schedules in the country. Statistics don’t tell the whole story. The LSU defense isn’t terrible. Nor is it great. Is it good enough to win an SEC championship and perhaps a national championship? Stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 That article describes exactly how I think about our defense. Is is good enough to win the SEC? I don't know, maybe. Is it good enough to win a natty? Maybe. But the offense better score a lot, because this defense hasn't put the hammer down on anyone of note.

Hatchertiger Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Yes there is lots of talk about our defense. 100% of the time this year our defense has kept the other team from scoring more points than our offense. That's 11-0 for those of you keeping score at home! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thoughts? For perspective, in 11 wins, LSU has averaged scoring over 47.2 PPG including against FOUR Top-1o opponents. Comparatively, UA’s 1o-1 games have only averaged 46.3 PPG but included only one Top-1o opponent. And OSU’s 11 wins have averaged 48.6 PPG but included only one Top-1o opponent.
