With 13min left in the 4th and LSU’s offense starting to click, Kirby decided to try for a 27 point margin. Doing so meant perfect play from LSU (in this instance, 3TDs with 2 point conversions and a FG in 13 minutes) would only tie the game, rather than win it by one point. Thinking of it another way, if Kirby hadn’t gone for 2 there and LSU scored quickly, the analytics would tell Kelly to go for it, because that’s his best shot at winning/tying the game with 4 scores. If they miss one, that’s OK because they can still tie at 49. With a 27 pt margin, LSU needed to be perfect (unlikely), or they needed 5 scores (extremely unlikely).

Starting to go a little Negan on these comments, Corch...

Last year Georgia scores 32 points per game and allows 20. This year Georgia scores 39.8 points per game and allows 5.5 There’s your difference

I don’t normally respond to trolls, but what in hell are you talking about? The SEC is as strong a proponent of capitalism as may be found in America, and to pretend otherwise is foolishness. As to the other point, there is nothing more American than standing up for yourself and your values, refusing to be stymied by political inertia, and resisting those armchair tyrants who would denigrate and suppress that which they fear. The American experiment has proved, time and time again, that the wrong side of history is that of the oppressor, and to suggest punishing those who resist unjust rule is detestably anti-American.

SC was remarkably lucky last year, but they're not the first 9+ win SEC team to finish the year unranked. UGA 2015 - finished 10-3 and unranked, following a bowl win over Louisville. Incidentally, BMac was the interim head coach for that game.
