re: If CBK loses to Clemson and the fourth season opener in a row

Not If......WHEN!!

Can we atleast get to the spring game or practice without the doom and gloom

Given the committee's clear preference to rely solely on overall record, I'd say that every game on the schedule is equally important.

This.

Good lord there are some hard headed people on this board. Clearly the "committee" doesn't value SOS over wins/losses. It is a clear disadvantage to be in the SEC now.

If Cade Klubnik comes back for Clempsun, not good for us. We can't beat a lousy USCw team at a neutral site? BK's teams haven't opened with a true road game. We lost the last two games on the road at legit stadiums. I have no faith he can pull it off.

It will count against us, no matter what you say.

And what indications did you see that BK's team got better this year? Did I miss something? 11-1 aint happening either.

I won a bet with my buddy this year. After witnessing the USCw game, I said we go 8-4, he said 10-2. I hope I'm wrong about next year.

If?

0-1 start

Most LSU fans are kind of used to starting the season 0-1 now. I mean any name that was a somebody at one point seems to get that first win against LSU. Could have scheduled Neb and they would have probably beat us. As much crap as we give Les we were usually 5 -0 or close to it when we got to UF game.

The melt will be all-time, but in truth if we finish 10-2 or better, it does not matter where the losses came from because we'll be in the playoff and possibly the SEC Championship. It would definitely be nice to get the first game monkey off of our backs though.

Let's say Clemson is ranked number 5 and LSU ranked 15/16. LSU loses by a field goal. You saying you are done with BK for losing to a higher ranked team on the road bc it is the 4th season opener he lost?

If the team is blown out and not prepared, I would be worried. If it is a close loss I would not be concerned. To ask these questions in December when the roster is still taking place is crazy. You have already made up your mind and seeking validation from others.

LSU hardly matters when it comes to the polls, especially the AP.

If LSU is #15 and blows out #5 Clemson at Clemson's house, the polls would move LSU to maybe #13.

However if LSU was like #5 and lost to #6 Ohio St on a last second field goal at the Horseshoe, the polls would have LSU drop 10-15 slots.


If it was #5 Alabama losing to Ohio St, they would maybe drop to #9.

The polls are made up of voters who have their favorite teams regardless of their record and how the games play out.


LSU always seems likely to be left out.

How much grace does he get? Who on here would be done with him for good?

Already done with him. Dude will never win a national championship at LSU.

He has only been the coach for 3 years. The first season opener they lost by 1 point bc of a blocked extra point. Daniels led the team 90 plus yards in the final minute to score a TD. Special teams were bad that year and he replaced them. LSU went on to win the SEC West which no one predicted

The second year the defense was a disaster. Had nothing to do with being unprepared they were not good. FSU went undefeated. Not like it was a fluke loss. Kelly made changes to the defense.

This year season opener LSU played good but USC made a few plays better. Their QB was under pressure and their WRs caught the balls that were 50/50. Can't say not prepared bc those are just dumb luck plays. Nuss missed a few throws late that could have changed the game.

To say BK had the teams unprepared is not true. Disappointed in the losses? Sure. Season opener win or loss in the CFP era does not matter much. No matter who they play. It will be SEC play that determines the success of the season.
