No sir it doesn't. I quoted you because I hit reply. I am not sure how to reply without replying to a person, yet.

edit: I think I downvoted myself, also, if that makes any sense

Of a coach in my opinion. Good guy

In charge of.

Lol as bad a season we’re having (and it will get worse), nobody can take away the greatest season in college football history just this past year. LSU fans like myself are upset about the start of this season, sure, but we are still riding that high that no one can deny happened. All you teams upsetting us this year, you will never reach the success LSU has reached.

Never have liked the idea of the champion defending anything. The team is so different as are the teams you're playing. LSU is last year's champion. 2020 is a completely new season.


Sounds like something Saban would say; while it is true, I would point out what every LSU fan said during the off season.

Just found a new motivational factor to beat Auburn Saturday. The closest we probably will ever get to actually winning the title ourselves.

It's called the Linear National Championship and there are websites that actually track it. It works just like a belt, where it passes to the winner and they retain it until they lose.

So far this season LSU started with it, then it went to State when they beat them, then Arkansas when they beat State, then Auburn when they "beat" Arkansas.

I think the defense has failed, can probably go with reigning.

I live in Arkansas and it's a statewide problem - denying reality

Monikers and rankings are there to advertise and sell games early in the season.

LSU struggling as a depleted defending national championship team is a strong narrative. People are obviously interested in it because people on here will not stop posting about it.

I don't see another champion crowned, so the answer is NO

Of course you can... when a car stops running, it might still sit in your driveway but its not a working car anymore.

LSU is sitting in the chair because the season isn't over yet, but we know it's not their chair anymore.

Sure..... just don't say it or refer to them as such.

Much like people don't refer to Arky as defending national champions. Oh wait......

Fwiw, I saw this on social media and wanted to see what the reaction would be on here.

I do consider LSU the defending national champions. They certainly lost a lot of players and schemes with the coaches they lost. LSU does need to stop letting me down in games they should win.
