Georgia has to beat Florida first.If an 11-1 Georgia beats a 12-0 Alabama there's going to be some fun chaos.

They play each other coming up. Which winner will have had a better resume?
The concept of Conference Titles should be straight up abandoned, or have significantly more added weight. Too many teams have sat at home on Championship Saturday and gotten into the playoffs for my liking.Agreed. They shouldn’t show much against Bama and prepare for the rematch in the CFP.
If we are putting more added weight on the committee’s ‘top 25’ I purpose we have every team in the NCAA laid out and have chickens shit on them. Whichever order the shit hits each team will be the top 25. Until the final rankings that is.No, LSU hasn't beaten a ranked team yet, nobody has. The rankings haven't came out yet.
Well I blame ESPB for that, they said on air when comparing 1 loss teams they still had a game to play against each other.They don't play in the regular season. USC is leading the South.
Would mean as much as the current rankings that get touted til the real one comes out.

You relied on ESPN to give you accurate info? Sucker.Well I blame ESPB for that, they said on air when comparing 1 loss teams they still had a game to play against each other.
And @ Auburn second.Georgia has to beat Florida first.
Damn, Auburn seriously has a murderer’s row this year.And @ Auburn second.
Good point, Bama has only beaten one SEC team with a record over .500, so far this season.Now sitting with 3 top 10 wins, if they play Bama tough and somehow lose have they already done enough? Huge loss by Oklahoma as they’ve got major issues on defense and won’t have the resume to beat LSU. Nobody in the PAC but maybe Oregon if they win out? But Oregon lost to a common opponent LSU beat. Notre Dame is about to get their second loss. The B1G will get a 1 loss Ohio State team in if they win the CCG or if a 1 loss PSU team wins out. So that doesn’t leave anybody over LSU? Might be beneficial if LSU loses to Bama and get the extra time off.
Wasn't Florida and Auburn in the top 10 when LSU beat them this season? How many top 10 wins does Bama have, so far this season?LSU has 1 top10 win (Florida). Gameday rankings are irrelevant.

Yeah good point.As I said, gameday rankings are irrelevant.
Obviously. Gameday rankings are all that matter. Auburn didn’t play the same LSU defense that Texas played. Same is true for all other teams.As I said, gameday rankings are irrelevant.
I will chime in and have a completely different opinion. I don’t think the Gameday or non-Gameday rankings are a black and white issue. I think some weight should be given to Gameday ranking, but it isn’t the end all be all. Point and case, ESPN just had to give Bama a top 25 win so they had Texas A&M undeservingly ranked. So the argument can be made that the numbers can be skewed to make some teams look better and keep others from looking good just to continue a storyline the media wants.Obviously.

Don't forget that the committee has stated that they value conference championships. If 11-1 LSU is going up against a 12-1 P5 conference champ, they are out.

The other side of it is this talk about the “real ratings” is stupid. The “real ratings” boils down to a bunch of old Athletic Directors playing popularity contest, making a list of the hottest chicks on campus based on whichever way the breeze is blowing that day. While teams have a different mindset etc at certain points of the season, if they end with a 3-8 record yet were ranked # 15 in the preseason how can you really tout a win against that team as a quality win?
If I am the number 1 team, I am negatively impacting the perception of my opponents and my own SOS each week. Say Wisconsin didn’t lose last week, well OSU would have exposed them in front of the Nation. Would that mean Wisconsin is all of a sudden not a top 10 team if they were undefeated? Or are they only not a top 10 team because a much better team made them look like crap?
Sorry if I am trying to use too much logic here, we all can’t be as intelligent as Danny ‘durr I’m smart your dumb’ Kanell. But it’s just my 2 cents. There is no perfect system or way of evaluating playing opponents. Have to use the data you have and exclude team/team matchups when evaluating a team’s ranking or SOS.
No NO NO!! That would not be fair to Bama to beat LSU and then have to play them again. NOT FAIR AT ALL!!Agreed. They shouldn’t show much against Bama and prepare for the rematch in the CFP.
