re: College Gameday officially coming to Oxford for LSU v Ole Miss

Might not have the same excitement everyone is hoping for nationally when ole Miss comes in 1-1 but it’ll still be fun.
I don't think the records matter to outside fans. The Kiffin saga was a massive story and national fans will be glued to this game regardless of how either team looks in the first 2 weeks. And looking at the rest of the Saturday slate that week there's a few intriguing game but nothing comes close to the storyline that OM/LSU will bring.

If these were the final rankings, that'd put LSU as the first team out of the playoffs. Assuming the highest ranked team in each conference are the conference champs, it would go:
Auto bids:
1. Ohio St (Big Ten)
2. Georgia (SEC)
3. Notre Dame (top 12 for them is autobid)
4. Miami (ACC)
5. Texas Tech (Big 12)
6. G6 rep
At large:
1. Oregon
2. Texas
3. Indiana
4. TAMU
5. Ole Miss
6. Oklahoma
Then LSU would be the first team out.

The thing that annoys me the most is the contrarians going "ACKSHUALLY the lawsuit has nothing to do with the number it's because LSU is using his NIL for free"
First of all, the cease and desist isn't about the jersey number because legally JD5 can't tell LSU to not issue the number. But Pickett wearing 5 IS the reason they issued the cease and desist. And what NIL are they talking about? Having his name and stats in the facilities along with everyone else that won national awards, etc? Being part of highlight reels? Since when did anyone get paid for that?
It all boils down to JD5 and "his team" got butthurt that someone else at LSU was wearing 5 so now they want to erase all trace of him ever playing at LSU, which is clown shite :lol:

This would carry more weight from Daniels if he was the only real player of note in recent memory. Like Dak Prescott doing this to Miss St might affect them a little more.
LSU has plenty of All Americans and star NFL players that make up their history, players that actually won conference and national titles here. Daniels wants to erase himself from LSU history all because of a number? OK. Put "QB #5" on any mention of him in the facilities like the old NCAA video games used to do and remove any highlights and photos of him. Wish granted. Life at LSU will go on with or without your memory.

Evidently with the teams you're using they don't have to have finished #2 or been the runner up of the title game. And if you can't use the same program twice, then:
2022 TCU is probably #3 of the TCU teams I'd use. 2014 > 2010 > 2022
2007 Mizzou I'd probably take out. Put 2001 Florida in there or 2004 Auburn.
I do agree 2014 Oregon > 2010 Oregon but just wanted to mention them because it's close, but I'm taking Mariota over Thomas
For Bama, honestly I'd take the 2013 team over 2016, or even the 2018 team as well.
The 2008 USC team I would have really loved to see them play Florida, but I agree can't really take them over 05. But honestly it may be closer than people think. That 08 USC defense was nasty, the 05 defense was a liability in the natty and nearly cost them regular season games too. The 08 defense would never give up 40+ to Fresno.

That play's biggest mistake was missing Trey Palmer who beat his man and Max didn't anticipate it. Most people harp on the behind the back part of it and not the actual reason it was a bad play which was not throwing to the corner of the endzone where Palmer would have been the first guy to the spot for a potential TD. But after missing that read, the behind the back throw resulted in an incompletion instead of the sack he was about to take. It resulted in 4th & 2 instead of 4th & 10, I think that play gets overblown because of how disappointing the season was, missed reads happen all the time. I get it was ugly optically but that whole game and really the season was a team failure.
He had some good moments here like the Florida upset in 2020 and his final pass as an LSU QB was probably his best, that TD pass to Jaray Jenkins to beat A&M. I guess I'll take the good memories and wish him well, I don't think pro ball is in his future and as far as I know he hasn't talked shite about his time at LSU so I don't harbor any ill will towards the guy.

I don’t thank they would’ve beaten that 2001 Miami team.
Probably not but it would have been a better game than Nebraska gave them. As an LSU fan though, not complaining because LSU wasn't beating Florida in Atlanta and that 01 SEC title and Sugar Bowl win meant a lot to us coming off of that awful 90s decade of LSU football.
1969 was the year ND decided to actually play in bowl games again after 40+ years of declining them, and thus the 9-1 LSU team got snubbed from bigger bowls they were hoping to get bids for because the Cotton Bowl took ND and surprisingly the Sugar Bowl took a 7-3 Ole Miss team. They did give LSU their only loss that year but still
I knew the 1969 team was good, they were also the last team to beat Bama at home until 2000. I didn't know just how dominant they were though and didn't expect to see them at #2 on the list.

I don't think his point about SMU holds any relevance. If anything, SMU was a shitty program except for a couple of outliers up until the 1980s when they became really good because they paid players with Clements's involvement. Sounds like Clements helped make them relevant and did a good job fielding competitive teams if anything. They got caught, but that shite is legal now so we don't have to worry about that.

A great RB for LSU
Not to come off as insensitive but great isn't the word I would use to describe Murphy's time at LSU. He was a depth piece his entire 4 years here, like the 3rd or 4th RB on the depth chart any given year and hardly got any carries. By all accounts he was a good team leadership guy though, hence getting #18 his senior year, but that's really the only noteworthy thing about his time here.
