What do you think Michigan and Georgia had the last 3 years? Or Alabama had in 2020? What do you think Burrow was? Or Trevor Lawrence? Or Tua?
All 3 of those guys could beat teams from the pocket yes, but also all 3 could move their feet get set again and throw as well and pick up a 1st down with their feet when needed.

re: NIL and entitlement has hurt the SEC.

I think what NIL and portal have done is leveled the talent. 10 years ago, the top HS talent from Texas to Florida and Georgia along with Louisiana, Alabama, MS, etc., played in the SEC, teams were 2 deep with legitimate Power 5/4 players. As Nick Saban said, with NIL and portal, you have your 1st team and what is really your 3rd team as your 2nd team all went into the portal and are playing somewhere else.
BIG10 TV deals also, in my view, need to be factored in. $60 Million per team. When Texas and OU came in, I don't think Sankey leveraged those brands and got the SEC per team payout as high as it could be.
With NIL, Portal and money BIG10 schools are getting players today can get NIL deals and use portal, go to BIG10 school and the parents/grandparents of those players now can easily with NIL $ fly out on Friday to the game to see the player play [stay in a very reasonable Hampton Inn type place] , see the game and fly back Sunday.
Look at Junkins from Ohio State, Alabama HS player, went to Ole Miss, now staring for Ohio State. Caleb Downs, Georgia HS player, went to Bama, staring for Ohio State. I heard Saban say on Pat MacFee's show today one of the smartest DB's he ever coached saying Downs would yell at the DC to get play call in on time so he could look at formation and motions and make the calls on the field to adjust on his own.
BIG10 with NIL and portal is going to be a problem, SEC fans all of us need to get use to it.

Kiffin is probably somewhere between Drink and Kelly.
Kiffin and Drink are both almost doing what Kelly is doing with much, much less.
Well I am not sure LSU had a complete roster his first 2 years, I think we were at 71 scholarship players in 2022 and 80 in 2023.
Ole Miss this year probably had a top 5 roster.

LSU would be better without him too but they're too stupid to get rid of him
LSU is 29-11 in 3 years with Kelly, 17-7 in SEC play (17-8 if you count the SEC title game vs UGA in 2022). He did inherit a mess when O left.
I think Kelly is a good coach. Who exactly to non LSU fans think LSU can just snap their fingers and get?
Next year with Revenue sharing coming in, we are talking about 20 to 22 Million going to players that the Schools have to pay out. You get rid of a coach next year, whoever you are and they have a 5 to 7 year contract left, you are looking at an estimated 70 to 80 Million dollars to pay out. That is not counting then getting a new staff in place and NIL budget you are already spending.

I don't think Louisiana folks hate Texas, I think they have issues with certain Texans that go to the University of Texas that have attitudes like people in San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland and Manhattan.
So lets be accurate here on the facts.

Ole Miss played a soft cupcake schedule and so did Bama. They were predicted to make the CFP this year. SC was not expected to be close to CFP. LSU was not either. This was a rebuild/transition year for LSU.
Why does everyone think LSU will lose to Clemson anyway? You think LSU will lose all tough games? Why think like that?
I don't think they will go 12-0 right now. I will wait until after fall scrimmages and what the roster and depth chart look like before making predictions.
It will be a 1 score spread so basically a 50-50 type game going in.

LSU loses a game against Clemson but does well enough in SEC, they will make the playoff.
Ole Miss this year was expected to make the CFP with their roster and schedule. How did playing cupcakes work out for them? They had a false sense of security by thinking they were great while beating Furman by 70 points.
This idea that playing a good OOC opponent will automatically disqualify LSU is ridiculous. If that is the case, the fans should be saying LSU needs to go to the Big 12 conference bc it easier to get to CFP. LSU fans being pussies bc they are scared.
LSU loses to Clemson and goes 6-2 against a very tough SEC schedule, they are 9-3 like they were n BK's 1st 2 years. They are sitting home like Bama, SCAR and Ole Miss are this year.
The only chance is somehow at 9-3 (6-2 in SEC play) the tie breakers fall your way and you to to Atlanta and win the Title game.

You’d have to replace Clemson with another P4 team. Not sure that’s doable this late
True and you are correct, but Sankey is getting lots of heat. They can have a conference call after the bowls and CFP wraps up and change the rule.
Indiana getting in at 11-1 [great story] and SMU getting in, great story, I am old enough to remember vividly the death penalty that came down post Eric Dickerson era, etc, but what his shows is that Strength Schedule is not the primary metric, is more Strength of Record. Go 10-2 and get to 6-2 in the SEC and your in (LSU went 6-2 in the SEC in 2022 and 2023).
My view, and it is just that and people are free to disagree, focus on a schedule that gives you the best chance to get into the CFP. That is all that matters now.

Why is everyone being a pussy about a football game 9 months from now? Cancelling the game or trying to buy out of it. Damn. If y'all are afraid of competition go find another team to cheer. LSU should want to play good out of conference competition. Look at Ole Miss and the teams they played. Did it help them make the CFP when dropping 70 points on Furman? Did it help know where their team was heading into SEC play?
The comparison here is not SEC vs SEC, it is non SEC. Indiana is the comparison you need to do and SMU who did not play another P4 team either in their OOC schedule (they lost to Boise yes). It is not about OOC scheduling anymore, it is about getting into the CFP.

I think it’s fair to say that scheduling difficult OOC games doesn’t really matter anymore. Just win as many games as you can, even if your OOC schedule is weak. Obviously that wouldn’t have helped Bama this year, but for the future there’s no reason to make the schedule more difficult than it needs to be.
I agree 100%. Unless you have an in-state rival that you need to play for recruiting, then no incentive. Indiana went 11-1 [and I am glad they got in] but their OOC schedule was week and their BIG schedule only required them to play Ohio State. They missed Oregon and Penn State and caught Michigan in a transition year (1st year pot Harbaugh).
LSU and Clemson should end their home and home and LSU should get Tulane on the phone and get that game for game 1 next year. Tulane is a top 30 type team and had they won their Conference Title game vs Army they would be ranked around 19th where Army is today. A few years ago they beat Lincoln Riley's USC team with C. Williams the Heisman trophy winner.
The goal now is to get into the playoffs, the committee is telling you they value Win/Loss records. I know people say well the 9-3 SEC teams loss 3 league games, that is true, but why have an extra game vs a P4 team when you have the 8 game SEC grind (Lane was right with his Presser today about that).

There is non if both teams agree to it. Clemson may just feel the same way.
Clemson has South Carolina every year in-state and they go to Columbia next year. I think both can agree to get out of it. LSU should look to play Tulane in game 1, give them the money, Tulane is a fringe 25 team, had they won their title game vs Army would be 19th where Army is ranked. This can have an in-state rivalry type feel.
Ohio State is 10-2 and did not play any OOC game, Indiana is 11-1 and did the same and played only 1 of the top BIG10 teams (Ohio State).
Scrap the Clemson game, LSU has 8 SEC games and none are gimmies next year.

Flip Bama and Ole Miss’s resume and I still think Bama gets in.
It just is what it is.
Unfortunate.
Ole Miss lost 3 games by 13 points total. Really dominated all year. Bama had some WTF moments.
They probably should have just gone with Miami at 11
Well I would actually think Ole Miss gets in if they follow the "protocol" which is what they are suppose to do.
Again LSU fan here and I have no bias towards Ole Miss or Bama in this situation. So I think I can be objective in my analysis.

Ole Miss is punished for losing to terrible Kentucky and Florida teams, but Bama isn’t punished for losing to Oklahoma and Vandy.
Ole Miss even had a more impressive win vs Georgia than Bama did
LSU fan here so not in any way biased towards Bama or Ole Miss.
Bama has wins over 10-2 UG, 9-3 MIZZOU, 9-3 SCAR and 8-4 LSU, the last 3 of which all went 5-3 in the SEC.
Ole Miss beat 2 of those 4 (UGA and SCAR) but lost to the 2nd to last place team in the league at home 1-7 in the SEC and 4-8 overall (UK).
3 of 5 Ole Miss wins were against Arkansas (3-5 SEC play/ 6-6 overall) along with Miss State 0-8 SEC and 2-10 overall and 6-6 OU (2-6 in League Play).
Objectively, Bama has the better resume.
