Why is LSU treated like a mid-major? Last time #8 was a dog to an ur team?

I can’t recall a high major top ten team was ever an underdog to an unranked program? Why does LSU get no respect?

Is it because of Ed’s long history as a loser?
Is it because Burrow sucks arse?
Is it because their defense can’t stop the run anymore?

Why are they underdogs to an unranked team?

Probably cause they suffered the worst loss a top 4 CFP ranking team ever has, and probably will hold that dubious mark for years to come.

If they played on a neutral site the game would be a pick em. The college playoff committee is a big frickup this year. They don’t know shite from a tin horn.

Luckily they have the top four right.



As of now

I expect to be one of the great records in sports, standing in perpetuity.

They score a max of 10 and A&M puts up at least 21 on their soft arse defense. Bet the house on A&M.

Offensive woes. Nobody's gonna just take O's word for it that they're gonna be new and effective. Their defense is elite but they could still lose a 7-3 game after a pick-6

Because #8 this year means about as much as some random WWE belt.

Let's call it relatively speaking. Almost everyone has given up giant chunks of yards to Alabama this year.=

Not even relatively speaking

26th Total Defense

32nd Passing defense

31st Rushing Defense

Only scoring defense was top 10

8th Scoring Defense


MSU's defense could be considered elite

2nd Scoring

8th passing

13th Rushing

6th Total

I'm an LSU fan and I'll admit right now that MSU has a better defense than LSU. Their defense impressed me more than Bamas. They're offense just couldn't do shite and threw 5 picks to DBU and couldn't stay on the field to save their lives.

MSU
BAMA
LSU

as far as defenses in the SEC.

Since the aggies are so great why are they not ranked and lost to a bad auburn and an offensively challenged miss state team. You do realize lsu beat auburn and completely shut down miss state right?

Last time a mid-major had two losses and was ranked in the top 10? I think LSU is getting plenty of respect. A&M is getting respect that doesn’t match their record and that’s fair. They’re better than their record, especially at home.

As far as worst top 4 loss this season, OSU says, “Hi!”

Aggies are still not 100 percent ready since this is Fisher's first year as A&M head coach. Give it another year or two then you will see it.

If Texas A&M can't beat LSU this year, then ya'll really just suck.

But then again, we already knew sucking is the aggies specialty.
