Despite being a Michigan man, he makes compelling arguments to think about and why LSU was dropped.

Being a Michigan man might be why he thinks this though

Like I said I get that. But explain why Paul Finbaum agrees with him. LSU beat 4 top 10 teams. Texas was top 10 at time of playing. OSU has beaten 1. If ESPN wants to use Michigan St. as a quality win, so is Texas.

I agree 100%. Winning the National Championship should not be easy and it won't be. I like some matchups better than others. But by God I'm going to ride with Joe Burrow and this team til the end. Damn the committee, damn the naysayers and damn anyone that gets in our way.

Because LSU should be undisputed #1! If you swapped bama and LSU's wins and schedule bama would be the clear choice #1.

It's ridiculous but all LSU has to do is keep winning.

The committee is all about what have you done for me lately.

Yeah... OSU beat a 2 loss team..

LSU did that months ago..
Plus that one loss team.

No rational reason OSU should be ranked ahead of LSU, but it doesn't matter.

frick it, if we get to beat both Clemson AND OSU, nobody can even make an argument about LSU not being the best team in the country.

I agree with Desmond cause Ohio State had to struggle tremendously to the very end of the game just to beat Penn State at home who in reality is not really a legitimate Top Ten team cause they lost to lowly Minnesota, but were nonetheless ranked number 8 by the bullshite college football playoff committee, as opposed to logically behind Minnesota as normal, obviously to pad Ohio State's resume so that the bullshite college football playoff committee could steal the number one seed spot away from LSU and screw over the SEC at the same time.

Indeed, that's why this bullshite college football playoff committee introduced new criteria like so-called eye tests and game control into the equation. As it provides a perfect smokescreen for them to inject their own personal bias into the equation.

Indeed, this entire process is nothing but a damn joke and conspiracy to screw over LSU and the SEC.

Not to mention that LSU, in stark contrast to Ohio State, has already played and beaten four legitimate Top Ten teams so far this season, including a Tua led Alabama team in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. While Ohio State, on the other hand, has not played or beaten the first legitimate Top Ten team so far this season.

Meanwhile, the only time Ohio State played anyone with a heartbeat last week against Penn State, Ohio State struggled tremendously and the game wasn't decided until the very end, and that was against a team that is not even a legitimate Top Ten team.

Now, of course, the bullshite college football playoff committee can always claim they ranked Penn State number 8 and way ahead of Minnesota who beat Penn State because of their so-called eye tests, which is just a cop-out and a smokescreen that enables them to inject their own personal bias into the equation for them to screw over LSU and the SEC at the same time.

Disrespect is the greatest motivator. The team in the locker room is a better team ranked #4, than ranked #1. The hunter is more dangerous than the hunted

That’s not even remotely close to being true.

Penn State had 217 yards of total offense. Their scoring drives were 75 yards, 12 yards, and 11 yards. After the field goal, they gained a total of 48 yards on their last 4 possessions. The game was never in doubt.

Desmond also had Clemson 1 all season because “they were the defending champs.” That alone should tell you the depth of his analysis and intelligence.
