The catching issue is less about steals and more about receiving the ball cleanly and stopping the passes balls.


Gosh yes. I swear we gave up 70 runs on passed balls.

Just need a wee bit of help, but I think it happens. First things first, jump out quick on Texas Saturday. Rattle Arch and let Princewill FEAST!


Definitely. Winning out won't be enough I don't think.

UGA and Bama are in.

3 loss Texas, with wins over Ohio State, Ole Miss, Missouri, and Tennessee are in.

I think a 3 loss LSU would be in over a 3 loss Tennessee, but only because of recency bias.

And I just don't think the committee would have the taste for another 3 loss SEC program. Especially with the logjam of non SEC/crap teams in the top 12.

The help we need comes from Kentucky. If Kentucky wins out or finishes with 3 losses and a win over UGA they'd be taken over us.
We'd have to see if the committee valued wins over UGA and Kentucky more than wins over Texas and Tennessee because Missouri COULD jump us. I don't see them winning out or the committee putting them in over us even if they do, though.

Ole Miss has no path minus 3/4 of LSU, Tennessee, Texas, and Kentucky finishing with more than 3 losses.

The rant will believe a 6-5 LSU has a chance at the playoff with a win over arkansas


If/When the playoff field goes to 36 this will be a real possibility and football will officially be dead.

Sankey just opened up 4 more lawsuits against LSU for that comment. One for each player.


I heard Sankey was trying to pass a rule that would retroactively make any player that GOES pro, ineligible. Any truth to this?
Heard it was just directed at LSU since we lost institutional control right before we didn't break any rules.
:lol:
That's weird AF cuz I swear I saw something on SEC nation saying 52% before the game on Saturday.
I feel like the oline is sufficient when you put up 450 yards against Bama.

it could improve, sure, but can you imagine how feckless this team wouldve been under Les Miles or BK?

You fix
Special teams and Red zone. and this team is definitely pushing for a natty even with a "bad" o line.

I moved to Alabama in 2009.
Against my best judgement I made friends here.
Buddy just texted me a picture from like 13 years ago where we were all together watching Bama LSU (me as the only good guy). They wrote Reauxll Tide on a whiteboard and apparently I told them that I hope they all get AIDS in the best of ways.

I told him it still stands.
:lol:

If Bama can be ranked #5 after getting pounded by Tennessee, you would think we could make the playoffs if we lose a close one.


Probably a bad idea to hang our hats on Bama bias kicking in in favor of LSU.
quote:

To me, Texas is even more of a head-scratcher, with two bad losses to Oklahoma on a neutral field and Florida in Austin.


Even though Texas looks like the worst 2 loss team to me I think their resume makes them the best. I mean, since I think we should take wins AND losses into consideration.

They're the only ones with 3 ranked wins.
Ole Miss has 2. And none of the other 2 losses have more than 1.
quote:

We need a CFB Equivalent of the NET or RPI rankings and that should HEAVILY influence the rankings


Yes. There has to be some sort of algorithm to determine all of the nuances that (should) go into rankings.

Using today's poll.. The 9 non SEC teams ranked ahead of LSU have played 20 out of ~108 games against another ranked opponent. For a whopping 18.5 percent.

The 5 SEC teams ranked ahead of LSU played 27 out of ~60 games against another ranked opponent. Which comes out to 45 percent.

An awful schedule doesn't mean a team isn't national championship caliber, but it certainly needs to be taken into account.

It's like they are pushing "cinderella story" more than beauty/popularity in a lot of cases. Bama will always get biased treatement. They were the first 3 loss team in the playoffs.They'll be the first 4 loss. They'll be ranked above others in headscratching fashion. It is what it is.

Indiana at 4 is ridiculous


WTF are you talking about?
Shutout wins over WKU and Howard not working for you? What about a drubbing of North Texas and Rutgers? No?

Surely a 6 point win over Northwestern Or overtime victory against Minnesota will get you on the hoosier hype train? A 3 point win against blue blood Nebraska? If wins aren't your cup of tea perhaps you can get excited about a 4 point loss to Ohio state?

It's a big issue to be making rankings with zero thought to schedule. It's always been a problem. I mean UTSA has 1 loss and their schedule is comparable to those teams. We gonna stick them in the top 5?
Just a little common sense.

The difference is Night & Day from last year


I'm not sure 8-4 is night and day different from 7-5.

Im happy with the trajectory but 8-4 would definitely be a dissapointment.

Just beat bama. I can't bear the thought of losing to those tools again and having them fall off the schedule.

It’s so sickening that the “no good wins” narrative is being applied to us but not Notre Dame, Utah, UCLA, Wake Forest, etc. Makes me want to puke.


Speaking of sickening...
Out of the 14 teams ranked ahead of LSU, 5 are SEC and 9 are not.

The 9 non-SEC teams have combined to play a ranked team 13 times throughout the season.
They have 7 games out of the remaining ~36 against a ranked opponent.
A total of 20 out of ~108 games or 18.5 percent.

The 5 SEC teams have combined to play a ranked team 17 times throughout the season.
They have 10 games out of the remaining ~20 against a ranked opponent.
A total of 27 out of ~60 games or 45 percent..

-6.5 now


The last time we were favored by 6.5 we won by 7.

BET IT ALL!!!!! :lol:
Watch LSU vs Miss State from 2015 if you want to throw up in your mouth a little.

one of the most frustrating games I've ever seen.

Dissing LSU D and saying D has only stopped poor competition and against
the two teams with a “pulse”, Kentucky and OM, D struggled


Theyre just projecting. Bamas offense crumbled against the two defenses they played with a pulse.

27 combined points against Tenn and Georgia.

Green is the one psorion where there isn’t close to a true replacement for what he does at the TE position


Indianas natl champ team tight ends had 449 yards and 4 TDs.

TreyDez had 433 yards and 7 TDs by himself last year. And we were 7-5.

Don't get me wrong.. I desperately want him back and he gives us a huge advantage. But almost every national championship team has won a national championship without a freak like GREEN.

I hope he comes back and catches 90 TDs vs Bama and wins the Heisman. Absolutely love Green.

That 3rd down discrepancy is gonna be a big deal.

Makes me feel a lot better about this game actually.

Unless this team always just falls apart on the road we should be just fine.
I mean. In this NIL age I have no idea, going into a season, beyond a few players.

so
Dottery, Ross, Geralds, P Will, D.Jones, Harris..

I've been surprised Jayce Brown hasn't been a bigger piece.

It's as simple as that.


I mean.. ok.. but that seems shortsighted by everyone involved.

If the govt is willing to break the law by committing "immigration fraud" then why wouldn't they just imprison the current population instead of displacing it in favor of those who will do absolutely nothing for them at any step...

What does it matter what your population votes for if your GDP is 12 and you're 90 percent Muslim? it's better to be the king of Mogadishu than the prime minister of the UK?

Defense is elite. O-line & QB are not. Thats not a knock, btw.


We're first in rushing TDs. 13th in the country in passing yards. Third in yards/game. They could improve in spots but they're doing pretty good.


To the OPs point. I'll break my conditioning when my conditioning is broken. IE. We go on the road to Kentucky and Auburn and handle business convincingly. That won't hurt.....
