I would generally agree with this, except if LSU handles Florida in the SECCG (e.g, 34-24), then the loss won't look anywhere near as bad since we came back and easily beat them the 2nd time around. If OU has 1 loss and doesn't make it to the Big12 CG, that's a no-brainer. LSU. If Penn State has 1 loss and they don't play that extra game, advantage LSU. Same for Ohio State, advantage LSU. So basically Ohio State beating Penn State opens up the door big time for an SEC school to make it (of course if Bama goes undefeated, the point is moot). If Texas loses their only game being their Big12 CG, then LSU gets in as well.
Last year's lesson: one game at a time, and every win counts, because you never know when a Pitt is going to beat a West Virginia ...
ESPN and most of the other media elite have already ascribed Florida as being the eventual champions of the SEC. And the LSU-Georgia game will not be televised at night so that everyone can watch the media coronation of Penn State as a national title contender if only they can beat a currently highly hyped Ohio State. So, whatever happens during the Georgia-LSU game is pretty much considered to be a side show at this point.
I agree with this. The real jump in the polls would come from a win over a #2 Alabama (if they can hold on to that spot). The final push would come from a win over a 1 loss and hopefully #2/#3 ranked Florida.
