Both teams highly ranked. Both disappointing losses, no doubt. IMHO Clemson’s loss to an unranked conference opponent is crushing, whereas we can still play for our conference championship goal and have an outside shot for the playoffs if we grow from our loss. FSU is a damn good team with playmakers on both sides of the ball and we were two touchdowns better than them in the first half. We melted down in the second half and they exposed us badly. Hopefully our players step up and our coaches figure out how to get these guys to play together.

Clemson with ease. Florida state is a good team and will be at the top when the year ends.

Clemson got flat out embarrassed

Duke has a football team? I didn’t know that? Obviously they can’t and don’t recruit anybody. So these must be bored walk on students that play on the team, right?

Personally, I don't give a rat's arse about Clemson and I don't understand why any LSU fan should.

Us.
Because it is us. I could care less about Clemson while our squad just got boatraced by someone else.

The answer is Clemson but does this really deserve a question?

Thank goodness for Duke! LSU gets some of the focus off of its back.

Clemson isn’t in a rebuild, an established powerhouse getting smacked around by Duke is much worse than our loss…
Duke seems to always be disrespected.

Of note: "Mike Elko was named Duke University's 22nd head football coach on December 10, 2021, and in his first season led the Blue Devils to nine regular season victories to garner ACC Coach of the Year honors."

Clemson and it isn't close. We lost to a top-10 team. Florida State will be the best/most complete team we play all season (yes, that includes Alabama).

Clemson has 56 four and five-star recruits on their roster. Duke as 2.

LSU owned the first half of the game against Florida State and we may be talking about a different outcome if we capitalize on all the opportunities we had in the first quarter. Clemson almost never had a grip or control of that football game against a FAR superior opponent.

Duke for sure- but the way we lost was still pretty humiliating and embarrassing.

Duke kept Clemson from developing any sort of rhythm. LSU had the rhythm, but could not capitalize. I feel Clemson will be an easier fix because Duke showed they are not the pushover they have been. Elko has not lost a home game since taking over. Expect them to be a top 15 team, this year. Maybe higher ranked than LSU, at some point.

Clemson. Top 10 team was blown out by an unranked team. LSU lost obviously a very good Florida State team.

Another game to emphasize out there is Baylor getting torn up by Tx. State and TJ Finley at QB. Baylor made TJ look like a Heisman candidate! I also don't buy the Colorado hype, but they easily took care of TCU too. These games make me wonder if the transfer portal and NIL is really starting to destroy our view of college football. Loyalty is out the window and you will start to rarely see a good or star player spend 3-4 years at one school. Where I am going with this is that we may start to see more shake ups in Top 25 than ever before going forward...
