Someone posted a stat yesterday about "no more excuses" comparing the number of 4/5*s for LSU (40+) and Wisconsin (8+).

Wisconsin played well, but trade CLM with any of 40 other offensive coaching staffs around the country and we win by double digits.

Yes, but Wisconsin had 25+ Wisconsin all-state players and LSU didn't have any. :)

<- After Wisconsin beat Kentucky in the NCAA semi-final in '15, Bo Ryan when asked about beating Kentucky's 9 McDonalds All-Americans with a bunch of three and four star players said something about Kentucky not having seven Wisconsin all-stars. ->

Seriously, the talent level was much closer than recruiting guru rankings would indicate. I concede that LSU has more talent, but it's far closer than counting stars would indicate.

I explained that here:

I would also say that much of Aranda's defensive coaching is still benefiting the Wisconsin defense.
