Great game between two really good teams. Need LSU to run the table to keep Alabama out of the fucking playoff.
I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

I think that's true, as long as they beat Auburn. Lose to the Tigers, and they're out.
They made the game close with LSU and they'll get a huge benefit of a doubt for that, especially if that's their only loss, and LSU finishes undefeated."in order to lead America you must love America"

The committee isn't going to let a 6 point loss to LSU get in the way of choosing Alabama, as long as Alabama finishes strong.
Maybe Tua's leg doesn't get any better. Maybe they lose to Auburn. But there's no doubt that the committee would still favor them as long as they win out, and if other teams don't pass the eye-test.
Right now, my picks would be:
1. OSU - They're not losing any game remaining on their schedule. They'll hammer whomever they face in the CCG.
2. LSU - There is no excuse for them losing any remaining game, including the SEC Championship game.
3. Clemson - They don't play anyone that can give them any competition the rest of the way
4. Alabama, or SEC-Runner-Up (Georgia?), or Big 12 winner
Georgia could sneak in as #4, but they have a better chance if they can win the SEC CCG.
Alabama has a better chance to get in than Georgia if their only loss is tonight's 6 point loss to LSU. Win out, and I think they're in.
Oklahoma probably gets in if they win out, and if Georgia gets smacked in the CCG, and Bama loses to Auburn.
That's the way I see it.

If Ohio State wins out, that will eliminate Penn State, and presumably Minnesota, from the playoff equation. If LSU wins out, that would eliminate Georgia. One of Oregon or Utah will eliminate the other, if they can both make the PAC-12 title game with a loss. Oklahoma may well eliminate Baylor, and after tonight, Oklahoma's lucky to still have a playoff pulse. Even with their unusually soft schedule to this point, an 11-1 Alabama team would have a win over the team that beat a one-loss Oregon, and I don't think they'd lose many of the other comparisons with one-loss contenders. The one outcome that would likely keep them out would be 11-1 Georgia beating 12-0 LSU in the SEC title game. Again, I don't know how it's all going to shake out, but the argument that Alabama's playoff chances are done right now doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
