re: LSU still No. 7 in College Football Playoff Poll

I'm sorry but I can't get behind calling Kyler Murray the best QB in the nation

I'm not calling Murray the best. However he is legitimately in the conversation Your failure to recognize that is on you. My point was that if you are going to say WV will beat OU because of WIll Greer being possibly the 2nd best QB in the nation, how do you overlook or dismiss Murray? He has more TDs, less Ints, more passing yards, more rushing yards, a higher completion percentage, and a higher average per pass completion. I don't know what rating system you and the OP uses, but it is not based on what happens on the field of play. It is an optical illusion I guess.

Have you not watched OU? Obviously not. They might have the best QB in the nation. How could you possibly overlook him?

I have. Tua is better than Murray and I believe Grier is as well. I'd wager that Grier is drafted ahead of Murray and I personally find him the better college QB.
