I personally think LSU is overrated, their beating Alabama in OT apparently cancelled out their 4 losses. But that's just my opinion and it's all moot since we'll all know what's what late Sunday night.

You’d have to be pretty terrible to lose to an in conference ACC foe. This is the reason Clemson fans.

Do you think we would sniff the top 5 the next year?

Probably would be ranked around the 15-25 range


Stupid post. In 2017, Clemson lost to 4-8 Syracuse and still was #1 on selection day.

Clemson in the SEC is basically Ole Miss. So STFU.

They are playing each other so not sure why this thread is here. We will know Sunday night who is the better team.

LSU has the Brian Kelly/Notre Dame hype still. Especially since they won the west.

Most people assume that if BK can win big at notre dame with less overall talent than the top tier SEC schools, then he can potentially be Saban level good at a big time SEC program with less strict academic requirements.

I thought overall he did a decent job last year however to lose that badly and that late in the season against A&M is definitely a red flag.

I will be watching LSU closely this year and wish that we got them again this year instead of A&M just because.

The reason LSU is ranked where they are is the amount they return. It's not really that hard.

Florida St. won head to head, had the same amount of wins, won their last 6 games, and finished higher in the rankings last season...

Yet they are ranked 3 spots behind LSU who lost 2 of their last 3 including to a 7 loss Texas A&M team.


FSU faced a grand total of three ranked teams last year and lost to all of them. And who gives a country shite about being three spots apart in the preseason poll? If FSU wins they move up and LSU moves down.

Eh LSU is ranked higher than us too and we beat them at their house by far more than FSU did. It's not SEC bias.

Maybe this is part of their reasoning.

RB - LSU returns the entire RB room. 4 RBs with each over 250 yards
fsu returns TWO RBs that had over 150 yards

WR - LSU returns the SEC leading receiver in receptions. A 1,000 yard receiver. 4 receivers with 24+ receptions.
fsu returns ONE receiver with over 15 receptions.

LSU returns more passing, more receiving, more rushing yards and more receptions.

Tigers front 6 on defense is anchored by 3 all americans.

If I had to give a SWAG. I think all that might have had something to do with it. That plus TIGERS play in the SEC.

Danny bygodford! I just watched a replay of your Clemson Tigers and FSU. It was a solid 31-14 Tiger butt whipping but FSU got a couple of garbage scores late. THATS the bias your seeing! FSU barely beat a 6-6 Oklahoma team in the bowl game and barely beat Florida and beat a Team with a Coach and his staff in their very first game! The same team by the way that went on later to crush the #7 team Ole Miss and beat Alabama and knock Saban out of the playoffs (How often does that happen!).

I didn’t realize Danny Kanell posted on this board. I’ve stopped listening to his radio show and now he’s turned up on this site.
