re: LSU vs UCF: Biggest bowl game in all of CFB the last few years

I assure you that A MICH/LSU matchup in the Fiesta would bring in A ton more ratings....

I feel like LSU has had a few bowl games that led to some changes. Or at least kicked the conversation.

Split title brought teams to schedule an extra game or conferences to go ccg route.

The Bama rematch had more and more people wanting a playoff.

And obviously, if UCF wins, the 8 team crowd will get louder.

Just give all D1 conference champions a slot. End of story. No drama. You win your conference, you go onto the playoff. That way you take out any subjective bias.

When you add in criteria that G5 has to be ranked in the Top 10, you just create the opportunity for bias to keep G5 teams no higher than 11. Would just further the issue we have now.

I agree its huge but it's a issue for us to hold our end to put their shite to rest as we will be missing 3 of our top 5 players on defense pretty shitty imo, really sux

If I were not a fan of either team this game would be interesting for one main reason...How important is strength of schedule.

It matches a team that plays no one and always wins with a team that has a very tough schedule every year and loses 3 or 4.

If LSU crushes UCF then UCF should never get a vote for the top 25 until they start scheduling ranked teams for their non conference games.

if these Tigers can put up 72 points and 570 yards on Aggy they will have enough offense to beat UCF.

Are you expecting a 7 OT game?

LSU should win this game. But the question is, at least to me, is which offense is going to show up. Will it be the offense that destroyed the Georgia defense. Or will it be the offense that struggled against Arkansas, or the one that took the second half off against SE Louisiana. A majority of our games this past season, the offense vanished for a quarter or two per game. That's a problem.

In the Texas A&M game, the offense gained 169 yards and scored 10 points in the first half. The offense gained 192 yards and scored 14 points in the second half.

That's 361 yards and 24 points at the end of regulation. Plus the defensive touchdown, gets you to 31 points during regulation.

Again, the question in my mind is which offense will show up.

This argument would be realistic if UCF still had their starting qb. However, without him, a win over UCF does not put any discussion to rest.

Other way around actually. Power 5 schools sustain injuries from going up against other power 5 schools. If a group of 5 school is only good when its 100% healthy then that's apples and oranges.

I can’t remember the last time LSU actually showed up for a game where not a whole lot was on the line. I’m not sure why this has been an issue with the Tigers, but they seem to under perform in games like this.

Lol, at your sense of Entitlement.
What y’all need is credibility through SOS. Credibility can only be earned.

It's eyeroll worthy whenever someone says UCF hasn't played anyone.

Besides Auburn, name your top 5 biggest wins the past two years and where they are ranked nationally
