LSU #50 with two OOC Q2 games remaining vs 67 FSU & 64 SMU


Is SMU on the road or neutral site? I know its in Dallas, wasn't sure if it was actually at SMU though.

If it is a road game, then it will be Quad 1

“Neutral” site even though it’s in Frisco. Should remain a Q2 unless they move into top 50

Neutral site in Frisco, TX

I am hoping they win tomorrow against FSU. We are slight underdogs against SMU.

Is there a line set for this game? Generally the betting lines aren't set until a day or two before the game.

Just the ESPN prediction machine. But the betting line should favor them as it is basically a home game for them in a small arena.

Right now LSU's predictive/power rating is slightly higher than SMU's. At a neutral site (even though Frisco is much closer to Dallas than Baton Rouge) LSU would probably be a 1 point favorite. Obviously that can, and likely will, change to some degree.

Pitt jumps into the top 25 with wins against LSU and Ohio State on the road but LSU can’t even receive a vote or two in the polls ridiculous, should at least be on the radar by now with the K State and UCF wins.

For tournament resume purposes the win at K-State is a good win. But for ranking purposes K-State and UCF haven't been overly impressive. At least not to a degree to give much attention to LSU in a period where most power conf. teams only have 1-2 losses (if that) and preseason bias is still built in. Plus, LSU lost to Pitt by 11.

The good news is the rankings are wholly immaterial. However, if LSU can beat FSU, SMU, and the rest of their non-conf. schedule (which are really bad teams) they will enter SEC play 12-1 and probably ranked (or close to it)

Pitt being #5 is a good loss at least. We still have #64 and #67 left in OOC play between SMU and FSU. Should win the rest and be 10-3 at worst or hopefully 12-1 entering SEC play

Can’t lose another OOC game or tourney hopes are slim. Cant see them winning over 8 games in this stacked SEC

SEC is going to be a gauntlet.
9-9 would be a great accomplishment
9-9 with a 12-1 OOC schedule only loss being to current #5 Pitt would definitely get us a tournament bid but .500 in SEC will be very tough

not a single conference game has been played. Wait until mid-February to pay attention to this.

Vandy 1-0
@Missouri 1-0
Ole Miss 1-1
A&M 1-1
Arkansas 1-1
SC 1-0
@Georgia 1-0
Texas 1-0

That would be 8 wins. After that if we sweep one of the splits or get a win in one of the other 7 games we get to 9. Yes tough.

Hopefully we get Collins back for conference play.
