No one has a crystal ball how it will all end but this writer thinks there are a few things that we know what will take place. In a PolitiDose commentary before the season started LSU's season was predicted to be a "wait and see" season and that is the way it has turned out so far. LSU so far has not beat what I would call a good team and the 5 remaining games will be against all SEC teams.
LSU's defense will finally be tested, especially by Alabama, Texas and Tennessee. The good news is Alabama and Texas will visit Tiger stadium. But those 6 teams have the ability to beat up on each other and in the end very few SEC teams will qualify for the CFP. LSU, Texas and Alabama already have 2 losses.
When it comes to the sport's media and the SEC, they have paid scant attention to Georgia who has been one of the most successful winning teams in the SEC for the past 7 or 8 years winning multiple SEC titles, multiple National titles made the CFP multiple times but was ignored in the pre-season polls in favor of other SEC schools and others not so successful. The fact is Georgia IS the school to beat in the SEC until someone does so.
Yesterday I read where LSU's AD and Head Coach said they are in favor of the CFP going to 24 teams. What a shame to have so many teams that do not belong there. Of course, they see LSU has only made one CFP in the last 12 years so one can see why they want the expansion. Only winners of conferences should make the playoffs and it can be worked out. Every team plays the same number of games and has the same ability to win their conference, and if they don't, wait till next season.
