This will tell us everything we need to know.

BK is just happy to scratch-out wins and “claw himself” into the CFP.

What he doesn’t understand … just making the CFP then getting annihilated is NOT the standard at LSU.

We want National Titles or the University will be collecting Contract Buy-Out Money from Donors

If LSU wins against Vandy and A&M, then almost all of the pressure is removed for the Bama game. You can go into that game with house money.

It would make OU essentially a play in game. However, I would take the OU game as a must win over Bama as a must win.

It’s still Bama and we still piss and shite our pants when we see crimson. That bye week is still there and there will still be pressure.

Wrong.
We want a competent, consistent team that can compete in playoffs every year. If they fall short, that’s fine but at least they showed that they should be there and it wasn’t some random chance.

LSU has made the playoffs 1 time since the BCS ended, what 13 years ago. 1 time. Once. Uno. And no, i'm not "settling" to just make the playoffs. Usually when LSU is good, we're really good and go on to win it all. Our problem has been program consistency.

1 playoff appearance since the BCS ended, we are not some staple of post season play.

Weird to assume that would happen if this team makes the CFP. That would mean they win 3 out of #17 Vandy, #4 A&M, #6 Bama, #14 OU.

I’d expect this team to compete if they do make the CFP.

We’ve seen the offensive line for 6 straight games now

We’ve see Nuss make bad decisions for 5 years now.

These next three games won’t tell us what we need to know, they will confirm what we already know.

Dumb. We’ve seen teams improve mid season before.

Who have the teams behind LSU beaten who are any good? Georgia Tech’s best win is Clemson. Vandy and Missouri’s best win is SC. USF’s best win is Florida. Any of that sound familiar?

Vandy and aTm are the real games here.

We’re going to get murdered in Tuscaloosa. We have to win all the other games.

Agree generally, with one caveat. You’ve forgotten the golden (boot) rule: LSU can always lose to Arkansas, no matter how terrible they are.

Same thing that was said before the Ole Miss game. We know who we are at this point. There aren't going to be any drastic changes. We are going to struggle to score points in every game and are going to have to hope the defense doesn't get gassed early on in the game.

We know the teams weaknesses :

1) Offensive line can’t Run Block.
2) Nussmeier has been so injured his mechanics have been altered and screwed-up as he’s trying to compensate within his throwing motion ….. and now his decision making has gone to crap as he’s pressing due to no run game.

In BK’s interviews he seemingly doesn’t seem worried about the aforementioned weaknesses.

Well …. Now he’s finally facing 3 highly ranked SEC Teams over a period of a few weeks …that will bring the matter to a head whether he has the answers or not !!!!

Again…. The goal is not just to MAKE the CFP but compete and sometimes WIN National Championships YEAR IN and YEAR OUT.

Here’s is now where I throw-in my Zinger :

-We should have hired Kiffin !!
I took that position 4 years ….
and I reiterate it now.

Kiffin could have brought in better talent and coaching per the offensive side of the ball.. year in year our.
Offensive Production would NEVER NEVER be an issue with talent he could draw to LSU.

Defensively… he would have needed to find HIS Baker.

I want this to not be true, but I know it likely is.

LSU actually plays better in Tuscaloosa, historically. Bama dominates LSU in Baton Rouge, but in Tuscaloosa LSU is usually more competitive. It's a weird rivalry.
