re: LSU ranked #15 in lastest CFP Poll

You’re right the big programs with multiple high level conference games on the schedule don’t need that win as much for the rAnKiNgS but for actual team development and on field experience against legit competition, plus the team/fanbase morale, it’s huge and we have mountains of evidence for proving that. Pretty much every big opening game prior to Lambeau, then Miami and UT as a big early Sept game with Burrow.

Look at UT right now, where do you think they would be ranked if that win @bammer week 2 was instead a win by 45 against North Texas at home
