Could LSU lose to Alabama in the National Championship and still be #1?

[ZoneBlitz]

Many people currently have LSU>Bama even if they lose...if there was a playoff, there is no major reason to change that...unless those people needed a playoff win from Bama to validate them.

Irrelevant.

Yes there would be.

What planet do you live on?

[ZoneBlitz]

Yes there would be.

Why??

Each team would each have one extra playoff win...but LSU would still have beaten far more good teams...so why??

:whut:

[FirstTimer]

Why??

Because of the way people view playoffs and their results on this planet ALF.

So just because its called "playoffs" that automatically makes people accept the winner as best?

What if i referred to what we have now as a 2-team playoff, would that make everyone accept the winner?

No. Because it's an actual playoff it will.

Don't eat the cat.

No. That would just make you stupid.

Oh i see.

So lets say Alabama barely squeaks by a pretty worthless team in the 1st round, while LSU romps...

Then they meet for the title, and Bama wins....everyone would accept Bama as champ? Their weak playoff win would be enough to sway the mind of everyone who had LSU>Bama?

[FirstTimer]

Oh i see.

Do you?

Because I see more writing below..........

.............I wasn't aware a "worthless" team would qualify for this playoff of 4 teams. How did Akron get a bid?

[FirstTimer]

LOL at ZoneBlitz coming up with idiotic scenarios to try and prove a point.

THis 4 team playoff would have a worthless team in it! ZOMG!

:whut:

Hypothetical situation where the 3 & 4 seeds arent that good.

I dont see why each team beating a playoff opponent is enough to sway everyone from LSU>Bama to Bama>LSU.

It actually doesnt make sense.

Im so right that its blows your mind, i forgive you for not being as smart as me.

[ram29jackson]

no one cares who wins this game no matter who's in it anyway..after a conference championship, bowl season is just bowl season..the schools get money,the players get grab bags full of stuff and we get football to watch..until theres a real playoff,its just college football bowl fun

lulz.

So basically grasping at straws at this point.

I don't recall a year ever..in the history of college football where the #3 and #4 teams were seen as "not that good".

Your example means squat.

Im trying to come up with examples that show you how wrong you are...the regular example i was using should do that but you're too stupid to get it.

[FirstTimer]

So an example of something that has never happened or been percieved in college football is the way to do it?

OK my bad then.

Sticking to the regular example:

If Bama and LSU each beat a quality playoff opponent...why is that enough to sway everyone from LSU>Bama to Bama>LSU??
