LOL how did "the glide" stack up against Alabama last year?
Y'all beat us...great. UGA lost to Texas...great. You beat Texas...great.

But just because you completed multiple forward passes for the 1st time doesn't mean you should be considered CFP locks or #1 in any poll. I said it before and will say it again, you're the #7 team going on the road and beating the #9 team in the country. You did your job. I haven't said LSU didn't look good or wouldn't be good--just stated you need to be balanced if you're going to get through your slate. I will say the same for UGA when it comes to the passing game.

Keep doing your job and we can talk about LSU being in the playoff.

Not at all, just gets fricking old acting like Clemson is invincible. fricking UT fans are just as annoying.

We get it, your good as hell, but you aren't invincible and not everything on an sec board has to be about or acknowledge Clemson.

People like you are gonna make me pull for whoever plays you in the playoffs, including (can't believe I am saying this) bama.

And I like Clemson and their beautiful campus. I had an amazing time the one time I visited. The girls where awesome and the campus/surrounding area was amazingly beautiful,. It frick y'all have some annoying fans.

Beat a terrible tu team comfortably and suddenly they’ve stumbled on to a way to beat Saban and Jimbo, something Orgeron has proven incapable of doing.

Agreed, but it makes more of a season than no game.

Dude..take a breath. This is a discussion about LSU. I just did a reread and I didn't troll LSU. Someone must have pisssed on your cornflakes recently because you are overreacting.

Props to LSU for finally catching up with the times with the new offense & a competent QB but gotta pump the brakes as they were doing what is expected against a big 12 defense. It really shows just how deflated UGA was in consolation bowl last year.

The Tigers can drop one game in their next 10—likely at Alabama on Nov. 9—then waltz into the Playoff as long as the SEC East champ has two-plus losses.


No way UGA loses two with their schedule

That was one game, enjoy, congrats. But Bama will return the favor, they always do!

Orgeron is 1-1 against Jimbo. He is 0-2 as HC against Saban, but so is Jimbo.

Jimbo costed A&M 13 mil.

Yeah, that was great.

Not really great, that was an embarrassment to the conference.

Yep, back to being great..

Nice straw man there. I don't see anyone saying LSU is a lock for the CFP at this point in time, just as I don't see anyone saying LSU should be #1 right now.

#6 team, and we did your job too. You're welcome, ingrate.

Wrong, LSU needs to be able to run and pass, but not necessarily in any one game. They just need to be able to take what the defense is giving them. If the defense is selling out to stop the run all game long, LSU should be able to pass on that defense. If a defense is dropping 8 in coverage all game long, LSU needs to be able to run against that defense.
quote:

I will say the same for UGA when it comes to the passing game.

UGA was quite balanced in their game against LSU last season with 34 passes (47% completion rate) for 209 yards, and 30 rushes for 113 yards. Still got blown out by 20, though.

I never stopped doing my job. As a matter of fact, I can do my job and we can talk all at the same time. #multitask

Yes, the team that stomped Georgia.

If CEH is your only successful ground attack...and he gets 87 yards vs. Alabama or Auburn...are you going to win the game?

Yes. Considering Alabana has a terrible run game and Auburn has a true frosh QB.

There are a LOT of people projecting Alabama and LSU in the playoffs.

I'm trying to think of a scenario that gets both in; I'm guessing they're really just saying both teams are among the 4 best teams in the country without having to explain the scenarios required for it to come about.

LSU, admittedly, has the stronger SOS. I'm guessing the logic is:
1. LSU loses a close game on the road vs Alabama
2. Alabama and LSU win the rest of their games
3. In a surprise twist Florida, not Georgia, makes the SECCG
4. LSU already has a win vs Florida, and Alabama beats UF in the SECCG
4a. For the sake of this exercise, LSU beats Florida by a full TD more than Alabama does
5. Two other conference champions are either undefeated or have one loss (undefeated Clemson and undefeated Oklahoma)
6. Ohio State wins the B1G, but eeks out wins and has a loss to Purdue on their record by 36.
7. The PAC produces a 3-loss Oregon as their conference champ.


The debate is between LSU and OSU going into the final stretch, and like 2017 OSU gets left out due to looking like garbage against a foe they should have beaten by 21+. LSU in at #4 on a much more impressive schedule.

#1 Clemson
#2 Alabama
#3 Oklahoma
#4 LSU

5 Heisman invites go out this year; 4 are QBs playing in the playoffs and the 5th goes to a RB in CUSA. The RB wins when every ballot has him in third place, and wins without a single first place vote as a lot of voters intentionally leave off other candidates in a form of revenge for not including a player from Notre Dame or USC.

LSU squeaks by Clemson in an amazing game. A last second dive by Lawrence is stopped at the goal line. He wakes up accepting his true gender. (Sorry, low brow. I'll refrain from any more of these).

Alabama and Oklahoma also have a game for the ages. Tua and Jalen hug each other after Alabama wins on a long FG (which leads to a lot of fans wondering if the headline is from a joke site), and as they hug both leave "Kick Me" signs on each other's backs. Saban tells Reichard to stay away from them both.

Alabama and LSU head into their 37th OT, the only eligible players left standing are from the bands and mascots. An LSU Tuba player catches what is thought to be the game winning TD, but refs rule you cannot catch a ball with a sousaphone in what becomes known as "TubaGate". The game is declared a tie, and the ensuing war between Alabama and LSU fans leaves the warzone formerly known as I-59 more commonly referred to "No Man's Land".

But we'll keep talking about it until then.

...

Do you think the other teams that Alabama and LSU play prior to that game feel a bit like third wheels / jilted lovers?

Like the side piece that constantly has to hear about how hot this one chick is that Alabama/LSU is totally getting with when they go on that business trip.
