Baw you can’t bring stats here that make LSU look good!

They are 8th in Points allowed among those teams...

Still 10-0 is better than allowing 15ppg but having 1 loss. That's what matters the most.

Clemson escaping against NC is the difference between being in the CFP and being an afterthought.

So your sample shows that only 2 of those teams allow more points than LSU (Oregon and Oklahoma). In other words, victory is dependent on LSU scoring a lot of points.

Take away our G5 and FCS opponents and we are allowing 30.7 points a game.

No. It is by scoring more points, which we did to the tune of 21 (which was the spread).

The negas have found fuel in what they always do when we're successful - optics. And, to be absolutely objective, the optics of the last 2 defensive second half performances are terrible. Negas will focus, laser-like on that, and completely ignore what the offense gets done and the defensive first half performances.

I think this will fade quickly, though. The team will be able to get well and look good against Arkansas. We generally handle business against Arky (obviously there are exceptions), and this is the worst Arkansas team to ever play in the SEC.
