Herbstreit's picks for the CFP:

- Alabama over Texas.

- Clemson over Ohio State.

- Alabama over Clemson in the NCG.

I'm assuming he has Clemson going undefeated, which would make Texas a #3 seed in the CFP. As if our players needed extra motivation for that game.

A few LSU players did make some of the lists included in Herbstreit's preseason "Herbie" Awards:

- "Ultiamte Game Changer" - Grant Delpit.

- "All-intangible" - Grant Delpit.

- "Welcome Back" - K'Lavon Chaisson.

- "Most Pro Ready" - Grant Delpit.

- "Best pass-rusher" - K'Lavon Chaisson.

- "Baller" - Joe Burrow.

- "Best True Freshman" - Derek Stingley Jr.

Bold pick.

I think people are overrating Texas this year. I think they'll be pretty good but next year is when I think they could be legit playoff contenders.

It would be sweet if we could beat them twice this year.

At what point do the usual suspects start to become tiresome from a television ratings standpoint?

I could be very wrong but I don't understand all the Texas love with basically their whole team not returning

I see two SEC teams making it this year including the one in P&G...

Clemson
Alabama
LSU
Ohio State

I could see a 1 loss Texas getting in. Especially given that their only loss would come early in the season and to team that ends their season ranked #1.

maybe it's their back-to-back top 3 recruiting classes, the return of a very good QB, and the fact they beat both OU and UGA last year.

I think we'll win, but I don't understand the constant down-talking about Texas.

They lost to Texas last year with a better QB and nearly lost to Okie state I believe

Certainly no lock that they run the table. Hurts is an odd fit in that offense imo

Not that crazy a pick. They have two games against opponents with higher preseason rankings, and those games are both in Texas, and the B12CG is in Texas. Their path to the playoff takes them out of state twice—to ISU and WVU.
