LSU's reward for losing by two (basically) on the road is a 16 point drop...to what is now a top 10 team??

They are angry that the Teddy Bear failed in backing up their agenda in keeping him.

LSU isn't a top 25 team right now so 22 is generous.

Did you even watch the game? That was so much worse than a 2 Point loss

LSU managed 1 offensive touchdown that was set up on a short field by the defense.

This was so much more than a 2 point loss.

Watching the game, did you think that LSU was as good as Wisconsin as a team? I thought Wisconsin completely outplayed LSU, and we were fortunate to be in it. The entire game felt like we were holding on and not letting it slip away.

The same problems that made LSU a borderline top 20 team last year resurfaced in this game. Our offensive line looked much worse than last year, while our defense looked improve.

Win out, beat Bama, and this doesn't matter. Hell, win the conference, and we can likely drop another game

He has a point, but it isn't that LSU should be ranked higher. It's that Wisconsin shouldn't be a top 10 team. They're not. Yeah, they kicked our arse, but they aren't even a good team. LSU should likely be unranked and Wisky should maybe be around 20-25.

The hypocrisy is that the drop LSU like a rock for losing by 2 points on the road to what they say is a top ten team?

Wisconsin managed only 1 TD while having the ball for 40 mins. Whats your point?



Wisconsin beat a top 25 and very athletic LSU team and looked pretty good doing it outside of 1 terrible throw with a QB making his first start.

LSU had the same similar issues on the offensive side of the ball as we've had the last 2 seasons (actually looked worse if that is possible), while adding horrendous special teams to the equation.

Wisconsin Offense > LSU Offense

Wisconsin Defense = LSU Defense (assuming that both teams have average to below average offenses)

Wisconsin Special Teams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LSU Special Teams. Hopefully we can learn to not shank a punt or kick it out of bounds

Wisconsin is a 3-4 loss B1G team. I'm talking about in conference losses. They're mid pack B1G.

Take off your purple and gold glasses just for a few minutes and re-watch that game. Now tell me if that looks like a top 25 team.??
Yeah....

Nevermind, I was hoping for rational discussion, but clearly that isn't happening...

WTF...did you see the same game I saw on Saturday. I don't care what the pollsters think of Wisky at this point, LSU does not deserve to be ranked at all.

maybe. the conference seems pretty strong this year and they have a tough 4 game stretch with MSU, OSU, Iowa, and Michigan in a row.


Who has a better resume than Wisconsin right now? Are there 10 teams with a better win?

Did I say something that is incorrect?

Use your words and "rational" to actually explain what issue you had with what I posted.
