I was shocked to see LSU in every single projection.

I loved that there was no love for USCw.

Not true. ESPN had 12 writers rank the playoff teams. You notice there are only 10 listed. The other 2 didn't have LSU in the playoffs.

Anyone with Texas or Clemson as the 1 seed at this point should have their media credentials revoked.

Texas had the third easiest schedule in the SEC last year. They have the same matchups this year. The SEC sold out the Blue Bloods for the new kid.

They all seem to have some combo of TX, Bama, UGA, LSU, which I'll gladly like to see.

Bama is missing from three of these; I’m guessing the two that left us off their list have Bama knocking us out

Just don't make that loss to Clemson. I'm still not a believer in the ACC. Especially not Miami.

Heather Dinich, for all the grief people give her, actually knows a lot about college football.

Last season in CFB 30-40 teams spent 10 million on their Rosters! Some, like Ohio State, TX, Ole Miss, and others spent over 20 million!! LSU spent 5.5 million competing against theses teams. AR spent 11.5 million! And you “think” Kelly underachieved!?! Coach O left LSU with 30+ scholarship players (i.e. in shambles)… Kelly has been rebuilding LSU with an under-funded NIL. He was allotted 18 million this season, let’s see how he does this season with a comparable NIL and Roster?
