The game that was tied in the 4th quarter? Do you know what the word “trounced” means?

3rd highest pff grade among power 4 QBs. Do you know what the word “awful” means?

You say a lot of retarded hyperbolic shite don’t you?

Watch the games man, he is likely going to cost LSU a game at some point. He was awful against Ole Miss and that bone head pick that Auburn dropped. Awful play and good teams take advantage of those.

I hope I’m wrong, but they have to get through Texas, Bama, and at Tennessee just to even have a chance to get in, and I don’t see them beating teams like Georgia certainly and defenses like Indiana or Notre Dame could give them fits

LSU got trounced by Ole Miss
Was a tie game in the 4th quarter and then lsu had multiple plays inside the 10 yard line at the end to tie it and go to OT

It’s a CFB tradition and so is laughing at them doing it.

Yet you're counting it as a negative that OSU was up 20 points on TX going into the 4th quarter and lost the game.

If you want to say OSU's starting QB is out so you don't think they'll be as good, that makes sense. But you are talking in circles right now to make your case for LSU.

I can't believe I'm in agreement with Mingo...but then I see I'm arguing with the #1 Bills supporter so it all makes sense

absurdity of the college football polls


When havent they been anything more than a bunch of media clowns picking favorites or guessing, after watching highlights or reading articles.

A team like BYU or similar, wouldnt win a game in the SEC

LSU will live and die by his ability to protect the ball and complete deep passes, way more so than that rule applies generally for all QB's. They should handle an extremely overrated Tennessee fairly easily. Texas will be close. Bama probably beats them though to eliminate them from the playoffs.

As a non-LSU fan, I feel pretty safe in my assessment that they are the best 2 loss team in the country.

These takes are so retarded. So BYU wouldn't beat Vandy or Arkansas or USCe or TAMU or Auburn or Moo State or OU? Get out of here and just say you don't watch non-SEC football. This BYU team is a 9-3 SEC, maybe 10-2, team depending on how the schedule shakes out. UGA, Bama, and LSU are the only 3 teams I am taking for sure over them this season. Texas and Ole Miss are toss ups. I would favor BYU over everyone else.

So Bama is going to beat LSU at LSU, yet the next paragraph you say LSU is the best 2 loss team. Wouldn't that mean Bama is better?

This is your reminder that the AP dropped Kentucky out of the rankings after an OT win on the road at South Carolina.

They don’t have a fricking clue.

FML I forgot Bama dropped 2 in a row. LSU is the second best 2 loss team.

The biggest absurdity is propping up a team due to fabricated ranked wins. UCLA is 7th with their "ranked" wins coming from #13 Oregon/ #25 Wisconsin. The #13 team is now unranked 4-3 and still has to play Ohio State. Teams like UCLA should drop rank as their best wins drop rank instead of getting boosted and continuing to rise.

Being in the SEC any playing EVERY week, is much diff than getting ready for 1 or 2 hard games. The brutal physical play wears down teams. So byu wpuldnt be prancing into any of thos stadiums, after getting beat on for a few weeks by the big guys.

And to answer your question...NO. They just lost to a bad school with a bad records, AND a backup qb that was a db, before he was moved because of a need for a qb.
Those SEC teams you named would run right thru them, all day

You’re hanging on to early season Leavitt. The eye test and stats simply do not match what you think is true anymore.

The problem with the polls is, a lot of teams ranked high play a garbage schedule while there’s teams that play a gauntlet and are for sure to lose a couple games. T


This is why we went to a bcs formula 20 + years ago. There was too much bias and “eye test” so they let the computers decide it. Now we’ve come full circle and have the same issues

Then you need to reevaluate because he’s playing as well as any QB in America right now
