2 things.

1. Out of that entire list you just named asking if LSU has a sure win against them, which of those teams do you think has a sure win against LSU?

2. I don't think I'd call your observations friendly.

I think both are worthy today. Both have very difficult schedules. 9 conference games is so stupid.

Either, neither or both could make it. Comes down to injuries.

LSU probably has at least 2 more losses. So No
I think OM loses 2. Should be in.

Ole Miss goes 10-2 and they’re in. They have to find a way to go 3-2 against Florida, Texas, OU, Mizzou, and State. Or better. They cannot afford a loss to Auburn or Vandy.


Don’t they also play Georgia?

Christ, it's only fcking WEEK 3. Both teams will get much better on offense and defense as they play more games. Both LSU and Ole iss will be fine.

Well, we failed our first real test. But Chambliss will make many teams lose. So I'll revisit after a few more games

You don't seem to understand the point. LSU's schedule is too hard and they're not good enough of a team to finish the season with 1 more loss max. They're going to slip up in multiple games simply because they don't have the QB play to get them where they need to go alongside an overrated defense. You see the difference between good QB play and what it does for a team. Ole Miss is really not that good of a team it's mainly just Chambliss. Like I said above, they have major holes on their defense and their offense is all Chambliss with Lacy hurt. Florida is going to upset them this weekend.

I always love when people talk in such certainties when they have no actual ball knowledge

The problem is that you only you only have to name eight (with Big12, ACC, Notre Dame and group of six taking four of them).

Ole miss is not a playoff team. We just didn't have a qb who could exploit their weak secondary

Okay. what have you seen from Leavitt that makes you say he can confidently beat every team I listed above? The more he plays, the more teams are going to pin down on him to force him to throw down the field. Ole Miss begged him to throw it down the field last night. Sometimes they put 2 spies on him. It was not the scheme or WRs. They were open all game. It's him.

Can he get better? Sure, but you're not going to magically see him start learning how to go through progressions, not lock-on to WRs with tunnel vision, and learn to read a defense. This is year 4 for him and he hasn't progressed any since his time at ASU as a passer.

He's tough and doesn't give up. He has great legs. The playoff teams always have great QB play. It's not rocket science. He's not good enough now to lead this team to the playoffs. If you think he is based on what you've seen that's some serious copium because he has flaws that will take a long time to fix not half a season.

There wasn’t any great teams last year either. Every single one of the playoff teams last year gets skull drug by damn near every top 5 team in the last 20 years

Vegas already has Florida as a 3pt favorite next week. Ole Miss had their Super Bowl for the year. They may look like Clemson the rest of the way. We made em look like a good team. They’re not.
