re: Maason Smith suspended Game 1 VS FSU according to Wilson Alexander

Just get the SEC to leave the NCAA. That would end them because the other major conferences would follow

While I think it helps us (FSU), I don’t think one DT should impact the outcome of the game or who should be considered the favorite in this game. If your starting QB goes down (on any team pretty much) that is different.

The main way this could hurt LSU, in my humble opinion, is if it hurts the team morale. By the same token it could also improve team morale (ie “US AGAINST THE WORLD” mentality). The impact is unpredictable ultimately.
