Predicting teams when you’ve got 30-50% roster turnover year to year seems futile
I couldn’t even name half of VOLS starting 22 and I’ve had season tickets for over a decade
I don't know who the Vols have, but I really like your RB Bishop. Good player, and by all accounts a good person. :cheers:

Wow you give Lane a lot more credit for a player’s success than I would
I mean, play calling has at least a little to do with a QB's success. Scheme does, too, as does a Quarterback's receivers he throws to. I would say LSU could place check marks in all three of those categories.
I don't know about their defense, but their offense will probably be pretty darn good....IF Leavitt is healthy.

For the SEC to get respect back we have to start winning big playoff games again unlike the past 3 seasons. Especially against the Big 10 who has been dominating us the past 3 playoffs.
First, I don't care about what others think. I do think it's was great when we were winning 7 straight National Championships and wpn 14 out of 17 National Championships. Are we dominating like we were? No. But nobody is. When the B1G, ACC, or any other conference does what the SEC has done the past 20 years, I will panic.
Secondly, you are correct. Right at this time the B1G is winning the National Championships, and I hope we can get that turned around. I like it when we are the unquestioned top dogs of the college football world. But it's not like we are getting white washed.
Ole Miss was in the semi-finals in the playoffs last year. Texas was in the semi-finals in 2024. In 2023 there was only a four team playoff and the SEC had two teams represented and lost in very close games. Then the four years prior, the SEC won the National Championship.
Congrats to the B1G for winning it three years in a row, and yes, they are better at the top of their conference, but top to bottom the SEC is still stronger. I get that it is not the aim, and National championships are. Hopefully we will get it turned around, but all of the hand wringing about the SEC is a bad conference is laughable.
Here is the post (And others like it) that makes me wonder what people are thinking.

awg, you really bringing up rankings in a playoff system? Come on.
Absolutely. Do the rankings play a large role in who makes or does not make the playoffs in the first place?
quote:It certainly made a difference to Notre Dame and a host of other teams that finished ranked 12 and lower.
Rankings don’t mean squat in a playoff system.

In all fairness the SEC has been pretty bad in the playoffs the last 3 seasons:
Our SEC Champion hasn't won a single playoff game the last 3 seasons.
There are all kinds of reasons that a team might lose games. It doesn't mean an entire league is trash.
quote:This is true, but again, that is not indicative of a league as a whole. People could make the argument that the league is so strong that we beat up on each other and limp into the playoffs injured and worn out. A strong league taxes not only the body, but the mind as well.
The SEC teams are 0 - 4 against the Big 10 the past 3 seasons in the playoff with 3 of the games the SEC team wasn't even competitive.
quote:
I dont care. A team with Georgia's talent should be able to run better. I am sure mediocre Missouri is in that list only because they could run the ball. More than likely that's all they could do.
So no comment on your claim that the SEC was bad last year?
quote:
Holy frick. We are talking about rushing offense and you cannot even use your thick skull before resorting to contextual whataboutisms.
You're the one that said the SEC was weak last year. I asked you "Based on what"?
I'm guessing you missed that when you locked on my second observation?

BTW, the SEC had 7 teams finish in the top 25.
4 finished in the top 10. 7 in the top 15.

So, again, they literally lost to every decent team they played. Because they lost to Alabama.
So, you are just going to ignore they beat Alabama? :lol: Your whole premise was they did not beat any good teams. Wow. I can't believe you are defending this. But, hey. You be you.
quote:
If you want to call Michigan decent, that's fine.
Well, they were ranked. To me that's decent. I never said they were great. But, they were certainly decent.
ETA
Ok, so you are a Texas fan. Got it. So, by your own standards (Oklahoma was not very good because they "lost to every decent team they played" and Michigan was not good, I guess Texas only beat two decent teams? Vanderbilt and Texas A&M? But then again, Vanderbilt did not beat any teams that finished ranked, so I guess Texas A&M was the only decent team Texas beat. I am having second thoughts of how good Texas was last year.
CRAP! Texas A&M only beat one team that ended up ranked, so Texas' biggest win was against a team that beat 1 ranked team.
:lol: :rolleyes:
quote:
so, they lost to Alabama.
No. They played them in the regular season and beat Alabama.
quote:
Not a single ranked win in those 9.
Yet they ended ranked #21 in the country. They were a good team. Where did your team finished? (I don't know because I don't know who you are a fan of)
quote:
Yeah and the SEC sucked last year. Georgia's rushing offense was mediocre, one better than the year before.
Based upon what? Not winning the championship? I mean, just how bad was Auburn that they finished 13th in the SEC and had a 1-7 record in a conference that sucked?

The end of regular season rankings will identify which teams had the toughest schedules
Correct. People want to complain about preseason rankings because they turn out to be wildly inaccurate, then try to troll other fan bases based upon those same preseason rankings. :lol:
quote:
Until both learn how to run the ball dont believe it
Georgia finished 4th in the SEC in rushing last year. :lol:
Teams that finished ahead of us rushing were Missouri, Arkansas and Texas A&M. I would say we did ok for a team that apparently does not run the ball well.

OU had a ton of lucky bounces last year and still lost to every decent team they played.
:confused:
They beat Michigan (9-3) and Alabama (Playoff team) the first time they played.
re: LSU fans? What’s the first game you lose and unleash all the dogs of hail on this rant?

I still think it's wild that people come to what is essentially an LSU board and clutch their pearls over LSU fans here being excited.
Those would be the trolls. We are all excited about new coaches. I think Lane Kiffin was a good hire. But I also wonder if he will stay at LSU for a long haul if he is successful. He hasn't stayed at any other place for an extended time frame, although LSU is more of a landing stop for coaches than a stepping stone, so maybe he will. Any way you slice it, Kiffin will bring excitement where ever he goes, and it will be fun watching him. His personality is transcendent, for better or worse. :lol: :cheers:

As much woofing as they have done about the coaching hire and NIL boosters, anything less than an undefeated season ending with a national championship will be seen as an act of intentional betrayal by Lane to the Swamptards.
Not sure this is entirely fair to LSU fans, either. Every fan base is excited when they get a new coach (Just as Alabama was when they landed DeBoer), and Kiffin was the most sought after coach last year, so it is reasonable for them to be a little over the top excited. I doubt any of them expect to go undefeated, but it does seem odd to me (considering Kiffin's philosophy on how to build a roster through transfers) that they wouldn't expect big things in year one.
My biggest question is how they will react if he does not pan out over 2-3 seasons. LSU will have a roster full of transfers populated by kids from other programs and states instead of populated primarily with Louisiana talent when he leaves.

$40-50m roster or not, it’s unrealistic to expect a natty with a new administration, new roster, new coaches, new scheme, new culture, etc. If this was year 3 and we had a $40-50m roster, I’m expecting a natty.
This is not meant as a troll, but an observation. Over the past several seasons (Kiffin's most successful of his career) he built his roster through the portal, and not through the National signing day. Therefore to all of his new players they were always entering into the season with new coaches, new scheme, a new roster, new culture and new administration. Kiffin has brought in another huge class of transfer players, so he will be starting off with "his" players as much as he has the past several seasons.
His easily most productive players on last year's Ole Miss team was Trinidad Chambliss(QB), Kewan Lacey(RB), Harrison Wallace (WR), De'Zauhn Stribling(WR) ALL were first year transfer players.
So, why would LSU fans NOT think this will be a huge year? Your AD has supported him with money, and he went out and grabbed his players that he feels will fit his system. I would think his style lends itself to a huge, fast turnaround, and for him the old rue of "a coach should be successful in year three seems to be outdated when it comes to Kiffin.

You think a RB from Baton Rouge willingly chose to go to A&M over LSU and Alabama?
You’re trying really hard to defend Aggy.
Desperate fanbase and program with zero morals
I am not "defending" anybody.
I just find it odd when fan bases point fingers at other schools when a former player gets into trouble...then act like their own school did not recruit the same player or worse players.
Do you really want to to act as if no former LSU players got into trouble after leaving? It happens to all of us. It is what it is. But you said Alabama and LSU did not want him and I showed where apparently both schools did indeed want him. He was recruited in the 2022 class. The class A&M put all their marbles into one recruiting class and paid their class a ton of money gambling it would pay off. So, yes, I do believe that an Istrouma kid would leave BTR and choose A&M over LSU and Alabama...for the money. I mean it's not exactly a foreign concept. It happens all the time.

Possibly. I never heard about him getting a ticket. :lol:
In al seriousness, Georgia offered him, too, so I was not taking a shot at LSU or Alabama. Just stating that what NFLSU said was factually incorrect. :cheers:

And they both eventually told him he wouldn’t have a spot at either place because of his well-known gang ties.
A&M doesn’t know what “character evaluation” even means.
They just take any and all trash they can get.
I have no idea how it all played out, but you did say Alabama and LSU wanted nothing to do with him. Apparently both wanted him. Your comment makes me wonder if either school did due diligence if his "gang ties" were well known, yet both offered him.

There was a clear reason why LSU and Alabama wanted nothing to do with that thug.
