From The Adviocate

"That's outside of my wheelhouse," said Orgeron, whose team had three victories over top 10 opponents this season. "If they have a playoff expansion, if they actually do it, we're going to go. I tell you that much. We'll go with a smile, I promise you that. If they don't, we're going to try to get our butts in that thing."

This would suggest that he doesn’t have confidence to get to the playoffs under the current format. Would take an expansion...

I didn't read it that way. He's saying they would welcome the expansion to 8 because it would make it easier to get in, but are going to keep fighting to make it in the 4 as it is very difficult to make it.

When he was hired 2 years ago -

"I"m going to build a championship program fast. Very fast."

So much for that.

Actually sounds like he has no doubt we make an 8 team format and will be gunning for top 4 if it remains the same.

All he has to do is change the damned offense and he'll be on his way to reaching this goal.

kind of interpret it as he being of the opinion that if it were presently expanded, we'd be in it right now

You don't critically read so well.

He's saying that with LSU's quality wins, SEC schedule, and tough OOC schedule, LSU would be already be in the playoff. Otherwise, his team is going to play that much harder to get in.

I mean he did say that even if they don't expand, that he's still going to try to make it. Can't be mad at him for trying.

Can't speak enough to how great this guy is for LSU. What more could people want in a coach?

Exactly. Alleva made him honor his promise - hiring O.C. Canada. Then a year later those 2 dufuses have OldMan "STEVE" Ensminger riding shotgun. Certified idiots (are Alleva and Orgeron).
