Miami proved last year that sometimes a 10-2 team is better than an 11-1 or 12-0. Miami beat 11-1 A&M, 11-1 Ole Miss and 12-0 Ohio St. Not counting CC games.

The committee is supposed to be competent enough to determine this with 12.

The difference in Texas this year is one thing.

Arch will have nothing to do with how successful they are this season.

Wasn't their just a report recently that all of their modeling was wrong about temperature projections?

No. Portal and NIL broke Dabo. Got to respect his commitment but it doesn't fit anymore. He needs to be a TV commentator or get with the program. Personally, I hate where we are but if you are going to coach today, you have to changed.

The man had 9 players drafted off of last years roster. NIL and portal can have some effect obviously, but it doesn't make a team full of 5 stars go 7-5 in the ACC, bad coaching does. He is nothing more than a wide receivers coach, at best. He has no system, has never had a system, probably isn't capable. Venables had a great defensive system, and Elliot has prove to be good on his own.

One would think he would at least get a look.

Clemson has a buyout problem though.

Dabo embraced the NIL and transfer portal. He’s a phony, holier than thou coach who had a defensive coordinator that was extremely good at stealing signs. Venables is gone and he doesn’t have a generational talent at QB. Clemson has always been run of the mill and they are again. That shouldn’t take away from what LSU did. 37 1st downs against the worst power 4 team is still incredible. Over 600 yards and complete defensive dominance. LSU has been plagued over the year by having great talent that was undisciplined. They would get exploited by shifts and fakes. Get out of position and give up big plays. The new coaching staff had LSU in position all game. I saw one busted coverage that wasn’t exploited. This will carry to any team they play. ClemPson may not be good, but LSU showed they have the discipline necessary to compete at a high level.

Excellent post.

The NIL/portal excuse is just a talking point by the inept media, then repeated by inept fans.

If you go back and look at the plays, Clemson simply had no idea what they were doing on either side of the ball. On damn near every defensive play, their edges would fold the defense back into a v pattern opening up the outside for huge gains. LSU exploited that all night and like clockwork, when they played close, LSU would slice them in the gut up the middle. It was amazingly inept. They didn't look just like a bad team. They are legitimately poorly coached.

---

This. It was fine when he has legit coordinators. Clemson has a ton of talent. Think about how poorly coached you have to be to only win 7 games in the ACC and have 9 players drafted. He got the job as a nobody wide receivers coach because he was a bagman. He does deserve credit for making good coordinator hires.

No brah, I do not give a shite.

Getting these two players doesn’t move the needle for LSU.

WTF are you talking about?

With 9 conference games that only leaves 3 possible weeks of OOC and scheduling becomes very difficult.
