I don't think there is anyone they'd really want to replace him with right now honestly. Couple of teams I know in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Yea, I tend to agree with the LSU angle unfortunately. Think the committee forgoes head to head and takes into account an up-trending LSU with the cinderella story coaching angle over a team losing 2 of its last three and without its starting QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But their 4 losses of us, Bama, Wisky, & UF are better than our 4 losses of Clemson Bama, aTm, & UGA. That could be a deciding factor in rankings unfortunately.

Also have to consider fans. 90 percent of LSU fans are excited to see their bowl game. 90 percent of AU fans will be wishing for a new coach. Just think, if we were the ones who had lost that LSU game... 1/4 of a second from being closer to no Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised if the Sugar Bowl Bras makes a call to the CFP committee to at least ask them to vote LSU higher than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only possible thing i could see in the committee room is they would be faced this week with moving LSU over not 1, but two (UF and AU) teams that beat them in the regular season. Outside lobbying forces notwithstanding, I could kind of see a compromise of moving them over UF but not quite over AU. It will be close though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could get close this week and then jump us on Selection Sunday by using the excuse they liked LSU's losses better without either team playing.

Also a Wisky win in the B1G Championship would also provide them an easy way to make the excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their losses overall are a bit better than ours. I'd say we've lost to pretty equal teams... just not so sure how we go from at least 13 spots ahead of them, lose to #1 team in nation, and go below them. Could see it from a fan perspective but it's not like AU will not travel well. Probably seeing through orange and blue glasses but I see the head to head as a big determining factor, especially considering we have same records.

If I'm honest, I see a 52/48 argument in favor of LSeww, which is the same as saying I have no clue at all what the committee will do. But I'd guess (someone correct me if Im wrong), AU is looking at a likely Citrus vs FSU or Sugar vs Bedlam winner. Both would be good opponents for the program, and I won't be too disappointed either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
