I had an interesting college playoff discussion with my coworkers this week. And since I'm a little tired of reading about Southern and beer drinking preferences, I thought I'd see what y'all thought. My question was if Louisiana Tech does end up running the table and finishing undefeated this year in football, can they make the college playoff final four?
My contention was MSU and KSU would need to be ranked in the top 25 by the end of the year and there would need to be at least one other conference opponent that we beat that finished their season 8-4 or better. Then, I thought with that resume, Tech could sneak in to a 4 spot and jump a 1 loss Big 12 team that has no conference championship.
My coworkers said there was absolutely nothing Tech could do, even if MSU won the SEC championship. Then again, they're SEC hacks.
