Ivan Maisel(?) being funny on WWL

When asked what it would take for LSU to get into the National Championship game, he said quickly "A Ticket". Said no way they have any chance. He's sticking with the easy way out and picking BAMA. He thought ND's ranking was right as was LSU being 13 but he's not sold on the Aggies.
12

He's in media. You're the audience. He's trying to the stir the pot and get people like you to talk about it for ratings. He's accomplished what he wanted. Some people like you are just so friggin' stupid.

It's kind of a stupid question anyway because the answer's obvious...beat all the teams on your schedule, avoid injuries, and hope you have a little luck as the season goes on. And if all that doesn't happen, yeah, a ticket would work.

I like Ivan. There are way too many CFB programs to follow for him to have an in-depth look. His facts are: In 2012 Zach finished with a rating of 129 (70th), the Total O finished 77th, we lost a bunch of guys, especially on the D. We're banking on Coach Cameron putting out an efficient O. Chavis putting a excellent D. I think both will happen but the national press isn't going to do a lot of investigation.

The media picks the teams with the less challenging schedule. They look at the teams that team plays and say, they should go undefeated. therefore, i'm putting them 1 and 2. They reward teams for being or going undefeated rather than the teams that face competition.
Ohio St is ranked second, not because they believe they are the second best team. They believe they are Notre Dame of last year. Everyone knows they aren't 1 or 2, however, they are more likely to be undefeated. Then, get their ARSE handed to them AGAIN.
It's truly the biggest flaw in college football. The other sports are ranked by competition. Football is ranked based on lack of competition.
USC and Oklahoma playing for the n.c. over Au is the biggest example of it. They both were ranked 1 and 2 prior to the season. (because of who they didn't play vs who they played) they went undefeated and Au was left as the bridesmaid.
The s.e.c. has 7 in a row, had that game played out, it could be up to 8 or 9 now.

ivan maisel may be the weirdest dude in media. that's all i have to add.

I can't stand him but he is right. No way we finish with less than 2 losses. And that won't be enough ever again. Just being realistic.

if a bowel movement could speak, it would sound like Ivan Maisel.

You know how many people had ND playing in Miami at this time last year?

The casual LSU fan knows way more about the LSU team than any outside media guy.

Do you think there are 12 teams better than LSU this year? Not a chance ... schedule should have no bearing on the rankings

Maisel graduated from Stanford but is from Alabama. Given he's from alabama, he's still right, the deck is stacked against LSU this year. Schedule is too difficult. Only chance is if Cam can get that offense out of the doldrums.
