2 loss LSU vs 1 loss USC is going to bring out the worst takes of the year.
Speaking of 2016 Penn St, LSU reminds me of their opponent in the Rose Bowl that year. 2016 USC clearly was not right to start the year, played an absolutely brutal schedule, and was also clearly one of the best teams in the country by December. Counting Penn St, USC played four(!) top 7 teams and 2 other ranked ones.
Yeah it might ultimately not matter given what those two teams have to go through. LSU obviously has Georgia. But USC will have to beat Notre Dame & likely Oregon/Washington in the PAC-12 CG.
I’m honestly convinced Ohio State & Michigan both make it the way things are shaping up.
Clemson is still out there with one loss but I don’t think they’re playoff caliber & the ACC is horrendous. I think the committee feels the same.
