Just like we said with Michigan loss and either a TCU or the real USC loss we're in. Even if LSU does somehow beat UGA do they go ahead of us? They could but if the committee goes back to like opponents then we have the edge there.
If it comes down to it, which team should get into the playoffs: Clemson or Tennessee? I don't think it's a slam dunk for the Vols by any means! * Tennessee has more losses than Clemson. * Tennessee has more close calls than Clemson. * Clemson has more impressive wins than Tennessee.
If you count Kentucky as an "impressive" win for UT, you must also count Louisville for Clemson. If you penalize the Tigers for a 21-point loss at Notre Dame, what about the Volunteers 25-point loss at South Carolina (a weaker team)?
