Cause I can’t.

I’m fine with our ranking as records need to matter.

But from an eye test and judging off of where this team is at currently, I just don’t think there’s 5 teams that have looked as convincing on both sides of the ball as us.

Sucks we lost to Kentucky because I agree. I think we’d tear through the playoffs but it’s going to be hard to get there now.

I’m actually most worried about @Tenner after two hard fights the previous two weeks.

I don't watch much outside the SEC. What little I've seen of Miami they look pretty good.

I think you are right. But what’s the best win? Auburn? It’ll sort itself out the next month.

Hear you on no signature win, although those goal posts seem to move every week.

Auburn isn’t a great team but they went into Athens and beat the #1 team in the country. We work them for 4 quarters and now they’re trash.

We dominate Aggies for 60 minutes and they go down to the last 10 min with Bama.

Look, we’ve beaten the dog shite out of 6 teams this year. And the other 2 (on the road) we were in it on the last play.

There’s only a handful of teams that have even been in every game this year.

All three of them are bangers. I'm most worried about Bama right now. They own LSU in TS. Need to get some witches out there for Halloween to change the mojo in that place when Bama is there.

Would be interesting to see projected spreads for lsu playing the top 15 ranked teams at a neutral site.

I would think maybe Miami, Uga, Notre dame would be favored. Ohio st has qb questions and not sure if ND would get the nod given byu lost this week.

Right now I’d like our chances with a rematch with Kentucky and the matchup with UCLA would favor LSU.Miami is a different animal.

They were always trash. The surprise is that they somehow upset Georgia.

That being said, this LSU team does to trash schools what good teams are supposed to do, absolutely throttle them.

I'll go with Georgia, Miami, and OSU with a healthy QB as the obvious answers. Then maybe Alabama and Kentucky (I think we beat them in a rematch but they did beat us). ND, Utah, and UCLA all could be but we haven't seen them challenged enough to really asses them.

We are getting better and have the upside to beat anyone but we've also shown inconsistency and the ability to lose games we shouldn't too

The inconsistency has been less and less as the season has gone on,especially the last 3games.The Tigers are improving every week,now it has to continue.

By that logic you really think the Auburn team we played yesterday is better than Georgia?

Fact of the matter is there’s just no clear superior program and maybe there never will be again with current NIL rules and shite. I hate the idea of the 24 team playoffs but I’m not sure there’s another way to do it.

Congratulations to ESPN for successfully turning college football into NFL-lite. Go smoke your cigars or whatever, pricks.

You can make your case for a couple (at most) in the top 10. I just cannot get with Miami though. Talk about Charmin soft schedule. Im shocked when I see Miami playing and it ISNT a directional school. GA has only played Alabama bc Auburn sucks again, and even Bammer has struggled (or lost) to teams with a pulse. OhSt SOS the same as usual, soft, and have QB issues, just sayin. Does anyone think ND beats the Tigers on a neutral field? I think the Tigers are up there, and yes im a homer, I do not apologize.
