re: FSU having a "week 0" game last year- Why is this brought up so much??

keep reading this so-called advantage FSU had last year by playing a game before LSU, but did it ever occur to anyone the advantages that LSU might've had? For one, that week 0 game gave LSU actual game film on FSU, while FSU had nothing for LSU which was made even more challenging due to LSU's entire new staff and quarterback. In addition, several FSU players got dinged up in that week 0 game while LSU was obviously completely fresh. In fact FSU's most dependable LB Amari Gainer suffered an injury and was out for LSU. If you watched UNC beat South Carolina last night you saw how good Gainer is. It's very doubtful Jayden Daniels has the rushing performance he had if Gainer played. So the advantages work both ways. I call it a wash.
