Question
Do you think LSU has a chance to get in, even with the loss saturday?

Answer
Dex, hello!

The beauty of this season is that any of 15 teams can still make it to the Championship game! The Bayou Bengals will have to beat someone in the SEC Championship game. It could be Kentucky, or South Carolina.  So, the "Geau Tigers" fans will have to wait until December to see if they will be one of the two that fight for the title.

If Ohio State, Boston College, South Florida, Oklahoma, California, South Carolina, Kentucky, and many other One Loss teams, can keep winning, we're going to have a mess at the end.  I have always favored a 16 team Championship tourney (like Division 1-AA has played successfully for many years, but all systems have weaknesses.  

Things will become clear as we go through the next 4 weeks.  Some of the one loss teams will fall.  Perhaps 1 or 2 of the unbeatens will trip up.  It's just too early to speculate.

Stay in touch and let's see what it looks like come January !!

Have a Day!
