Top 10, arguably top 5.

Top 10 I agree with, top 5 I do not. But I also think ND is a top 10 program. So not that far apart (but I'd put LSU a little further ahead) and close enough to where I would put them in the same tier. I personally can understand if you disagree with my opinion, but I don't see my opinion as an insane or unthinkable one by any means.

Not as ignorant as thinking LSU is in the "blue blood" tier of college football. LSU is a top 10 program, but so is ND. But to think that LSU is a top tier program (very top) isn't ignorant, it's just delusional.

The stupid blue blood thing like that matters. As if Nebraska is a better program than LSU today and going forward

They have won 3 titles and played for another in the last 20 years. In most peoples lifetime on this board, they have been a top program.

The results since BK has got to LSU are four loses and three loses with the bowl game to go. ND's results the past two years are three loses and three loses with a bowl game to go.

You can’t possibly be this dense. Swap schedules and what do those records look like? Comparing two teams solely on record is extremely ignorant even for a Bama fan.

Why not wait one more year to see if Kelly will get LSU to the playoff or win 10 regular season games or more. I am not adding bowl wins. Mizzou is on an upswing right now. Drinkwitz got Mizzou moving in the right direction. Next year I believe Mizzou should go 10-2 or 11-1.

No I don't. LSU is currently ranked 13 while ND is ranked 16 which is not that much of a difference. Over the last 5 years ND has been in the yearly playoff hunt just as much, if not more than LSU. ND actually made the playoffs in 2020. When was the last time LSU went to the playoffs? So yeah, I am not sure that ND is in that much of a lower tier that LSU currently (I actually think they are in the same tier currently).




Notre Dame hasn’t won a title since 1988. They have 2 top 5 finishes since 2000. LSU has 3 titles and 5 top 5 finishes. ND with 4 top 10 finishes in that time, LSU has 9.

They aren’t even in the tier below LSU in modern times. No one gives a shite about a bunch of titles from the 70’s and 80’s, and those certainly don’t help them hire coaches.

There was a reason BK left ND ,he had to beg for support
from the administration all the time. They wouldn`t keep up
with the times .They dont pay for assistants like the other
top programs do.They are not going to pay Denbrock 1.5 or
more like LSU will.Thats a fact.

Kelly left ND in way better shape than what was left him at LSU. ND is far from what they think they are. They along with a few others, have lost their shine over the years. Kelly had fought to get assistants more pay. ND stayed with the easy money after Kelly, keeping an established staff, that works out every now and then, but is often a miss. Time will tell. When saban, Les and Kelly left to come to LSU, they left a bunch of staff back. All coaches did better with their LSU stop, two of those three won a NC At LSU. The third will get his shot, it’s the odds. The last 3 coaches at LSU won NC, two of those guys couldn’t have won one anywhere else!

What results prove that LSU currently is head and shoulders above ND at this current point in time?

ND’s head coach left to come to LSU

LSU has the second most championships in the modern era (BCS through 4 Team CFP).

ETA: Top 5 teams of the modern era in alphabetical order

Alabama
Clemson
Georgia
LSU
Ohio State

Who would you even argue to include over LSU? The only other teams in that era that even have 2 championships are Florida and Florida State, LSU has 3.

I would personally put Bama, UGA, Ohio St, and Clemson all being in a tier. Then LSU, Michigan, Texas, Florida, ND, Oregon all in a tier with FSU and maybe USC just outside of it. LSU did win 1 NC in the last 10 years, but then went 5-5 & 6-7 the next two years following it and had to fire the coach. LSU hasn't had as much sustained constancy over the past 10 years as the 5 I listed in my opinion.

I didn't intend on this thread to devolve into an insecurity lash out by the LSU fans. I just thought Denbrock being talked about for ND's OC spot was a pertinent topic of discussion. I'm done arguing about a subjective subject like LSU's tier placement in the current college football landscape because I really couldn't care less about it. Geez

Ohio State and LSU are the only ones in the modern era that have done it with different coaches. Hell, LSU was able to make the worst coach in the history of Ole Miss into a National Champion.

Let's see what happens at Clemson when Dabo leaves. Or when the next coach at UGA has to deal with the entitled booster base Kirby is growing. Alabama is going to have issues as well. There won't be a coach on the planet that will be able to control the boosters there like Saban can.

So program rankings are purely subjective.

Who has had a better program in the CFP era: OU or LSU?

LSU has been above average for most of it with two bad years, but has the 2019 team and the NC.
OU rolled through the Big 12 for 6 straight years, made the CFP four times, but lost all four semifinals, three in routs (and one bad 6-7 year).

Some people automatically put a NC team above any that didn't win one. Others may respect the conference championship run more.

This is just really funny after we had a whole offseason where ND fans clamored that no one wanted to work for BK and he had to desperately go back to Denbrock who he previously fired at ND and is an awful OC, etc etc


Don’t forget they ran off a playoff caliber OC
