Deepest team we have had in a while. Wade will tweak the lineup based on opponent. Ruzic will play a lot when his shot is falling. This is a tournament team.
Deepest team and now we have a coaching staff to use them properly. Yes, this team will be a vast improvement over last year, if everyone stays healthy, we should expect to make a run at the dance, but I am most excited because Wade is building a perennial contender, not just a flash in the pan.

Great news! Dessert and Skyy will be cleared as well. 100%. Boot Up Baby!
LSU gonna bring some heat on 11/21, Kiffin gonna have something special for you Vols fans.
UK, they will pay him well, plus he's from Kentucky so if he can keep having winning seasons he can stay for life
re: The AP Poll is out. And it SUCKS
Posted by EPORE on 10/19/26 at 12:59 pm to crimsoncoded94
if they only drop ND to #4, then by that logic, shouldn't BYU be a clear #1? Polls are so damn useless. SEC going to a 9 game schedule is not being evenly weighed here, so dumb.
re: If there had been a 12-team playoff system in 03,07,11,19, how many does LSU win?
Posted by EPORE on 10/19/26 at 10:50 am to Lsuray70443
Assuming a 12-team playoff beginning in 2000 and using the final BCS rankings (2000-2013) and CFP rankings (2014-present), LSU would have made the field 11 times through the 2019 season.
Here's my estimate of LSU's championship chances entering each hypothetical playoff. These are not betting-market numbers, but a blend of ranking position, power ratings, roster strength, and postseason performance.
Season LSU Seed (Approx.) Chance to Win Title
2001 #13 (missed field) 0%
2002 Outside Top 12 0%
2003 #2 30%
2004 Outside Top 12 0%
2005 #5 12%
2006 #4 15%
2007 #2 22%
2008 Outside Top 12 0%
2009 #11 2%
2010 Outside Top 12 0%
2011 #1 35%
2012 #8 5%
2013 #14 0%
2014 Outside Top 12 0%
2015 #20 0%
2016 #13 0%
2017 #17 0%
2018 #11 4%
2019 #1 45%

Actually, under a strict 12-team cutoff, LSU would make it 9 times through 2019, not 11. The years above with seeds shown are the actual playoff years.

no doubt we would have like made it to another Natty in other years, I was just comparing it to the years we actually did play in them. Man I wish I could have seen an LSU/USC Natty in 03, that would have been a game!

*long post alert*
I used chat gpt to calculate the likely 12 teams for each year and asked it to give me the likely winners, the results were pretty interesting, can't say I disagree with it.
2003 (Final BCS Standings - Dec. 7, 2003)
Oklahoma
LSU
USC
Michigan
Ohio State
Texas
Florida State
Tennessee
Miami (FL)
Kansas State
Miami (OH)
Georgia
Likely First Round
#5 Ohio State vs #12 Georgia
#6 Texas vs #11 Miami (OH)
#7 Florida State vs #10 Kansas State
#8 Tennessee vs #9 Miami (FL)
2007 (Final BCS Standings - Dec. 2, 2007)
Ohio State
LSU
Virginia Tech
Oklahoma
Georgia
Missouri
USC
Kansas
West Virginia
Hawaii
Arizona State
Florida
Likely First Round
#5 Georgia vs #12 Florida
#6 Missouri vs #11 Arizona State
#7 USC vs #10 Hawaii
#8 Kansas vs #9 West Virginia
This would have been an absolutely loaded playoff, especially with Georgia, USC, Florida, and West Virginia all capable of winning it.
2011 (Final BCS Standings - Dec. 4, 2011)
LSU
Alabama
Oklahoma State
Stanford
Oregon
Arkansas
Boise State
Kansas State
South Carolina
Wisconsin
Virginia Tech
Baylor
Likely First Round
#5 Oregon vs #12 Baylor
#6 Arkansas vs #11 Virginia Tech
#7 Boise State vs #10 Wisconsin
#8 Kansas State vs #9 South Carolina
Many fans still argue this would have settled the LSU-Alabama-Oklahoma State controversy much better than the actual BCS title game.
2019 (Final CFP Rankings - Dec. 8, 2019)
LSU
Ohio State
Clemson
Oklahoma
Georgia
Oregon
Baylor
Wisconsin
Florida
Penn State
Utah
Auburn
Likely First Round
#5 Georgia vs #12 Auburn
#6 Oregon vs #11 Utah
#7 Baylor vs #10 Penn State
#8 Wisconsin vs #9 Florida
2003 12-Team Playoff
First Round
#5 Ohio State over #12 Georgia
#6 Texas over #11 Miami (OH)
#7 Florida State over #10 Kansas State
#8 Tennessee over #9 Miami (FL)
Quarterfinals
#1 Oklahoma over Tennessee
#2 LSU over Florida State
#3 USC over Texas
#4 Michigan over Ohio State (Michigan had already beaten OSU that season)
Semifinals
LSU over Michigan
USC over Oklahoma
National Championship
?? USC over LSU
Why: USC finished #1 in the AP Poll and destroyed Michigan 28-14 in the Rose Bowl. Pete Carroll's defense with Leinart and Bush/White emerging was peaking at the perfect time.
2007 12-Team Playoff
The greatest chaos season ever.
First Round
Georgia over Florida
Missouri over Arizona State
USC over Hawaii
Kansas over West Virginia
Quarterfinals
Ohio State over Kansas
LSU over USC
Oklahoma over Missouri
Georgia over Virginia Tech
Semifinals
LSU over Georgia
Oklahoma over Ohio State
National Championship
?? LSU over Oklahoma
Why: LSU had beaten seven ranked teams and had NFL talent everywhere. They already handled Virginia Tech badly and later crushed Ohio State in the actual title game.
Dark horse: Georgia. Many people believed Georgia was the best team in the country by season's end.
2011 12-Team Playoff
This one is fascinating because Oklahoma State finally gets its chance.
First Round
Oregon over Baylor
Arkansas over Virginia Tech
Wisconsin over Boise State
Kansas State over South Carolina
Quarterfinals
LSU over Kansas State
Alabama over Wisconsin
Oklahoma State over Arkansas
Stanford over Oregon
Semifinals
LSU over Stanford
Alabama over Oklahoma State
National Championship
?? LSU over Alabama
Big Difference from Reality: Alabama would have had to survive Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, and LSU.
LSU's regular-season résumé was ridiculous:
beat Oregon
beat West Virginia
beat Arkansas
beat Georgia
beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa
A playoff likely helps LSU more than anybody because they were clearly the nation's most complete team before the rematch fatigue set in.
2019 12-Team Playoff
First Round
Georgia over Auburn
Oregon over Utah
Penn State over Baylor
Florida over Wisconsin
Quarterfinals
LSU over Florida
Ohio State over Penn State
Clemson over Oregon
Oklahoma over Georgia
Semifinals
LSU over Oklahoma
Clemson over Ohio State
(Exactly what happened in the actual CFP.)
National Championship
?? LSU over Clemson
(Again, exactly what happened.)
Joe Burrow was operating at perhaps the highest level we've ever seen from a college QB.
My Projected Champions
Year Champion2003 USC
2007 LSU
2011 LSU
2019 LSU
Most Likely Alternate Champions
2003: LSU
2007: Georgia
2011: Alabama or Oklahoma State
2019: Ohio State
Of the four seasons, 2011 is the one I'd most want to replay. A 12-team playoff with LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Stanford (Luck), Oregon, Arkansas, and Boise State could have produced one of the strongest playoff fields in college football history.

re: LSU vs UCF -MBB Exhibition game 7pm in the PMAC

CWW is keeping it all pretty close to the vest for now, but feels very confident that the international guys will all be good to go when the season officially starts, they are practicing every day as starters...
LSU vs UCF -MBB Exhibition game 7pm in the PMAC
Posted by EPORE on 10/14/26 at 11:43 am
The Will Wade Era has begun again! The Men's Basketball team takes on UCF TONIGHT for their first home exhibition of the season at 7:00 pm. Admission is FREE! We need YOU to BOOT UP!
LSU: Probable Starters:
PG Donovan Dent (Sr.
SG Abdi Bashir Jr. (Sr.)
G Divine Ugochukwu (Jr.)
F Mo Dioubate (Sr.)
C Michael Ruzic (Fr.)
UCF: Probable Starters
PG Arturo Dean (Sr.)
G Dior Johnson (Sr.)
G Cayden Vasko (Sr.)
F Isaiah Malone (Sr.)
C Churchill Abass (Sr.)
Key Players to Watch
LSU
Donovan Dent: Best creator on the floor; if he attacks more than he did against McNeese, LSU's offense changes completely.
Abdi Bashir Jr.: Pure shooter. If he gets hot, LSU can stretch UCF's defense.
Michael Ruzic: Coming off a 16-rebound exhibition performance.
UCF
Arturo Dean: Veteran point guard who drives everything UCF does.
Dior Johnson: Potential leading scorer.
John Bol (7-2): Even if he comes off the bench, his size could be a factor.
