ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit believes Saturday’s LSU-Texas A&M matchup could have major consequences beyond just another loss.

Both teams enter the game at 2-1 after suffering disappointing losses last week. LSU fell 32-24 at Ole Miss, while Texas A&M was upset at home by Kentucky.

During an appearance on ESPN’s *Get Up!* on Friday, Herbstreit suggested the loser could have a difficult time keeping players focused if their College Football Playoff hopes begin to fade.

“Whoever loses this game is going to have a team that is going to start having their agents talking about ‘Where am I going to go?’” Herbstreit said.

“When their players are out of the Playoff, they lose interest quickly and they start thinking about their next season,” he added. “So, there is a lot at stake in this game.”

"Especially in the SEC..." Why? Are players somehow more invested or "loyal" in other conferences?

The current downfall of college football. Sad, and this is why NIL should be incentivised.
