I’m thinking most of them. Do voters actually think WF, ucla and Texas tech would beat lsu? Lol

You are correct. I think the polls should rank LSU where rantards believe they should be ranked.

We will just have to be careful who we select to choose, bc some think LSU should be #1 and others think #101 is appropriate.

Any of them on any given Saturday.
We might also lose to each of them on any given Saturday.
College football is nonsensical these days.
But I do believe we would be favored on a neutral field against all but about 5 or 6 teams.

It’s a combination of who you think would win, resume, and record. You would think this is some of y’all’s first times ever seeing the AP Poll. It’s not that complicated.

LSU would destroy Wake Forest, Iowa, Houston, and beat teams like UCLA, Texas Tech, and Utah.

LSU has 2 losses @ #7 and @ #12. Both 1 possession losses. shite I wish we beat Kentucky, we got hosed by officiating all night, and lost by 1 point on the road in OT, and had a chance to gain a yard for the win.

We need wins where we can get them with games like Auburn and Tennessee looking a little more daunting than they once were. Good news is Texas looks pedestrian and LSU gets both Bama and Texas @ home. I still think LSU can win out, or finish 9-3.

On a good day we could beat any of them. On a bad day we could lost to most of them

Utah’s option offense would have Blake Baker crying. There’s zero chance this LB core without weeks could keep up

That we are Kentucky’s Super Bowl. Kind of like Ole Miss.
We should have still won, but we had the refs against us

People are bitching about the 24 team playoff, but this is the reality and why it makes sense. #18 LSU could go 1 and done or win a championship based off of health and whether or not they are going to self destruct. A big playoff is better for everyone other than the handful of teams that make the playoffs ever single season already.

All of them, none of them, some of them or most of them. Depending on injuries.

That’s on LSU for 2 road losses.

At home? Every one of them.

On the road? I wouldn’t be confident at all in any of them.

Hopefully this Auburn game will boost my confidence.

Depends on which defense shows up.

I agree, 5 or so of these teams would be a major test, but on a neutral field, we would still have a fighters chance. At home, we would have more than that. I would say at least 12 of these teams are complete shite teams that shouldn’t even belong in any college football playoffs ever.

bullshite. We would still outscore them. Most of these teams defenses are Swiss cheese.

My first thought was to laugh that Kentucky is ranked in front of us but then I remembered something

Most of them, especially BYU and Notre Dame.

If LSU is the home team... they'll beat their share, but road game wins aren't a thing right now.
