LSU's defense isn't really ranked 29th

in the nation and Clemson's isn't really 3rd, 1st before playing THE Ohio State.
Clemson's defense is ranked so highly because they don't play anyone. LSU's is ranked so pitifully and shamefully low because they play in the SEC.
LSU's defense is actually better than Clemson's defense and is probably the best defensive team in the country.
And while LSU's offense is ranked correctly at #1, Clemson's offense is ranked incorrectly at #3. Clemson's offense is really at a ranking of about 90 or 95, based on their competition.
So, in true reality, LSU has the best offense and defense in the nation, while Clemson has likely the worst offense in the nation and probably the worst defense in the nation.
Clemson will be lucky to cross the 50 yard line while LSU is going to score about 80.

Is this a melt? This seems like a melt.

Your trolling sucks but the gap between LSU's defense and Clemson's isnt that big.
LSU gives up about a yard more per pass completion and rushing attempts is about the same.

Passive aggressive beta. Get over it.

LSU has given up some garbage scores this season with big leads.
LSU has also looked piss poor numerous times against inferior opponents. Ole Miss was a wake-up call, IMO.

I agree with all of this, well said

SP+ rankings
Clemson #3 defense
LSU #19 defense
LSU #1 offense
Clemson #6 offense
These stats take opponent strength into account. What they don't take into account is that I believe LSU's defense has improved greatly over the past 2 months.

They've gotten healthy and had a fire lit under them.
Divinity will also be back against Clemson.
Also most of the time in defensive numbers, there isnt a huge drop off between 1 and say 15.

JB would have lit up UNC for 70. Clemson struggled to get 14.

We are going to come out and punch them in the mouth. This team is highly focused and self motivated. They are friggin serious as a heart attack about winning it all. They are hungry and they are skilled. Clemson doesn’t stand a chance and that’s the skinny of it. I don’t ever get out in front of a game, and I could certainly be proven wrong in the end, but I sincerely believe no one is beating LSU this year. A team for the ages. So proud of my Tigers!

We had some bad games
Played some good team but realistically we’re playing a frick ton better.

I agree with some of what you said.
LSU is the #1 Offense in the country and could have hung 80 points multiple times this year, but took the foot of the gas in the 2nd half.
Clemson is not a juggernaut offense as Ohio St showed and their defense isn't as good either.
If Ohio St had a smarter QB they would have roasted Clemson when they sold out on the blitz. Burrow will eat that blitz alive. If they choose to stay back in coverage he will eat them alive given time. Point being Burrow will not be stopped.
CLemson will get points because they will get the ball about every 3-4 minutes when LSU kicks off. It just comes with the territory of scoring a lot.
Trevor Lawrence and that Etienne guy (sorry dont know how its spelled) will hook up with short passes.
The big difference in the two is that Clemson will need 8-12 plays to get down field. LSU does it in 3-6. The room for error is on LSU's side.
Until the 4th Quarter of the OU game, Burrow threw a touchdown every 3rd pass completion on average. We only had around 11 3rd downs and punted 1 time.
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, OU all experienced the same thing from LSU's offense. The outliner game for LSU was Auburn.
Clemson's outliner game was UNC.

All honesty here.
LSU has always had a great D. That excellent defense got to take a break this year with how good the offense was. After they were trashed heavily by the media, you saw at the end of the season what they were capable of.
LSU has a top 5-10 defense that has taken it easy this year. Clemson won't know what hit them.
That said. Clemson is no slouch. Their #'s speak for themselves. It should wind up a decent game.

Clemson finally provides us a challenge and dominates. Real tigers win 89 to LSU's 3.

This was the Florida game in a nutshell.
