1. Classic "Coach O vs. Jimbo Fisher Bowl game"
2. LSU wants to beat the team that dominated Florida
3. Dalvin Cook vs. LF or Guice

I'm tired of hearing how great of a RB Dalvin Cook is compared to injured Leonard Fournette. Some are speculating that he'll be a better NFL RB.

Not sure if LF will play this game, but I want to see how Dalvin Cook plays against LSU's defense and vice-versa for LF/Guice against FSU's defense.

Your Thoughts?

Cook could be better than Fournette. Its not far-fetched... take off the purple/gold glasses for a second.

Florida State is already ranked higher than Louisville

Only way that happens is if Clemson loses and misses out on the playoffs

Sorry brother I just can't see it. LSU has a reputation of having great RB's regardless of playing experience. Plus, Fournette has a rare combination of Size, Speed, Power, and Footwork coupled with vision and blocking out of the backfield. Plus, he can catch screen passes and beat anyone in open space (when healthy).

I think everyone is selling this guy short because of an injury. Again, this is the same guy that broke the single-season record on a bummed ankle, but Guice would go on to break it again against A&M.

No, because I've watched as many FSU games as LSU in the past 2 years and Cooks is a more impressive RB. Both running and receiving

Which is really odd to me. I realize Louisville finished with 2 losses, but...

-same record 9-3
-Louisville has better conference record 7-1 vs 5-3
-Louisville routed FSU like 100-0

Yeah, the rankings are all messed up. If Louisville beat them head to head you would expect Louisville to be ranked higher.

Similarly, LSU plays Bama the closest of any team in the nation, but fell like 8-11 spots while Auburn gets blown away and drops like 2 spots. Somehow, Auburn is still ahead of us probably because of the head to head matchup.

What's really intriguing is the fact that all the Conference Championship games being played today doesn't really have any impact on the CFP except for maybe Clemson vs. VT Showdown. Changes should definitely be made.

And you know this, how? Not saying you're wrong, but what substantiates your positivity?
