What I'm getting at is not a dig on LSU necessarily. It's how we rank teams in CFB. It makes zero sense.

Using ESPNs matchup predictor to make your point makes even less sense

Their system had LSU at #3 in 2019

Nope. Overvalued right now. The schedule will shake it out. I am seeing (as a minimum) a loss to both Ole Miss and Bama. Not counting on beating ATM or OU but we should be able to hold our own because we are playing at home. Best case 10-2. However, 8-4 or 7-5 is not outside the realm of possibility. Have to get our offense on track.

Is this where I post the obligatory “this ain’t your daddy’s Vandy”? This is the best Vanderbilt football team in my lifetime imo

I just hope we aren’t #1 and Vandy be unranked by the time we play them then I’m sure we would lose. I’m pretty sure that happened to a team at Vandy last year, but I can’t remember who they were playing

Vanderbilt is a fringe playoff contender this year.

There, I said it.

The team I just watched beat USCe in the road can has a shot to beat any of the non top 10 teams IMO I’ve watched so far YTD.

Is LSU Bama’s “real” rival or what? lol

Bama fans start 5 times as many threads on LSU as they do Auburn and Tennessee, combined. Blows my mind how much Bama fans have LSU in their minds so much.

If their passing game starts to click? Legit.

As it stands right now, no.

That Clemson win looks a lot different than it did a couple weeks ago and there are fundamental issues on both sides of the ball.

On this board we are Bama’s #1 rival and it’s not close

In real life it’s not that way

You are correct. The Bama clowns who post on this board though will tell you over and over again how much we aren’t their rival then proceed to start thread after thread after thread about LSU, 5 times more than TN and Auburn combined.

How about you?


No need to be defensive. This is no knock on you or LSU.

The fact that we have an anemic rushing offense is leading directly to issues in our passing game. If we cannot begin to effectively dominate the LOS and consistently move the ball on the ground we are going to throw away a great defensive squad.

10-2 would be pretty good. That’s where I see them finishing.
