The true art of cherry picking. What constitutes an ‘elite’ team?. SEC games, even with middle of the road teams, are tough games to win no matter where you’re at.

Some of these are good programs, with good athletes and are competitive, even in down years. You don’t just win games by osmosis, you have to go out there and play your best game.

They beat lowly Arkansas 45-42 just last week- that’s steam rolling?

When are fans going to realize that how a team plays one week has NOTHING to do with the next.Evan a blind squirrel ,LSU, can find a nut.Why people who say they are college FB fans don’t understand this is amazing.I believe the TIGERS will win because there is a history in college FB when a team is against the wall at home the unexpected happens .Ihave seen it to many times in the 62 years I have watched football.

He lost to Vandy. That is unforgivable.

Kind of hard to believe that we have only hosted 5 ranked teams out of 25 games during Kelly's era.

I'll take your word for it though. I'm not going to take time to "fact check" it.

That coin flip win against Bama in 22 has done so much heavy lifting for BK. If Mason Taylor drops that 2pt conversion, BK doesn’t have a single signature win at LSU

And people have the nerve equating CBK to the Hallman regime. Camp Curley was an ugly 9-16 during his four miserable seasons, at Debt Valley.

No good teams out of conference, no Texas, UGA. Florida, Auburn, Miss State have all been awful the last 3 years. Which is why not even making the playoff in 4 years is horrendous.

This isn't your dad's Vanderbilt. A lot of folks will lose to this team before the season is over

50/50 chance? How did you come up with those numbers?

41-40, 45-42, and 16-10 are steamrolling people? They scored 10 points in the last 5 minutes to pull away from Florida at home in a 7-point game. They won handily against Miss St and two P4 teams. They have played better than LSU, but they are no juggernaut.

Damn that’s unbelievable considering how glaringly bad those 2 losses are. we were never in either of those games for a moment and remember them both well.

40-13 Tennessee 2022
42-13 Bama 2024

Because A @ M is a much better team than we are right now. And, our offensive leader has no confidence (Nuss) and our defensive leader (Whit) is not playing.

Our only positive is that we are playing at home. That is why I posted Kelly's record - IMO giving us a 50/50 chance of winning.

Would LSU have made a 12 team playoff in Kelly's first year - which was his best? I don't remember where they ended up ranking wise, but they did make the SEC championship game.
