Brutally honest reality check

They’re a playoff caliber team when they play their best football, no doubt.

But that’s the issue.

This team is too new to have the CONSISTENCY needed to compete at a high level week by week.

This team can compete with or beat any team in the nation when they’re playing their best.

They lack heart and intensity and commitment

The reality is this is not a play-off caliber team and has serious weakness on both offense and defense

You are half correct. The team has serious flaws correct. We are a plauoff caliber team just because noone is that good this year. Georgia Michigan and TCU all deserve a shot and i hope USC wins out because at least they have a solid resume. But besides those 4 teams if anyone else wins the title it would kinda invalidate the regular season being a team that didnt even win their conference.

As long as michigan-tcu play first round and uga-usc play won't be terrible

Tackling comes down to effort. Give us a 4 out of 10 last night.

Breaking tackles also comes down to effort. Give Maroon6 10 out of 10.

Anyone who thought different was kidding themselves. This loss sucks. Even more so because it was aTm. But it’s growing pains.

I’m very happy with this season. We are less than a calendar year removed from starting a WR at QB for a bowl game. We’ll have an opportunity to win a SEC championship next weekend. If you’d of told me we’d be here at the beginning of the season, I wouldn’t have believed you.

I hate losing to aTm. The little brother syndrome is real. They printed cups. But frick them.

Don't be too hard on this LSU Team. IMO they far exceeded my expectations or anyones expectations, for that matter. It was a fun season watching LSU play some great football. Honestly, who will ever forget that victory against Bama? I remember thinking before that game, this is what SEC Legends are made of.

Before the season started, I figured this was a rebuilding year under a new coach. I just thought 8-4 (at best). LSU won the SEC West and will play for the SEC Conference Championship on Dec 3rd. Regardless of the outcome, THAT is a fantastic accomplishment for Brian Kelly, his coaching staff, and the LSU Tigahs.

Congratulations to Coach Jimbo Fisher, his coaching staff, and those Texas Aggies. They played a knockout game. The future looks good for the Texas A&M Aggies.

The SEC is GOAT.

.....and just like that, the LSU regular football season is over.
