What a histrionic pile of slop.

No wonder AI is phasing out hysterical "journalists."
How are best win and worst loss not the same game lol
Big Government meddles in the sports agency free market once again smh
Honestly sounds like they should just shut down the program and let the players transfer to UAB.

“Greatest team” in the sense of “who would win in a hypothetical matchup,” no.

Greatest run, relative to program history and resources?

Yes. Not even close.

How many times in pro sports does the top seed win the playoff?

The best teams make the playoffs, hottest team wins it

Right, and because that's normalized for pro sports, that's cool there.

"The whole season IS the playoff, every game matters" has been a vocal sentiment among fans for many years. It used to be a factor distinguishing college football from other sports. I really enjoy the playoffs, but there's no question this charm of the sport is gone.
This already happened last year. 24 Ohio State and 25 Miami were both 10-2 at-large P4 teams when their respective playoffs started.

I do agree with your observation that this playoff format (like most) favors teams that get hot late. And at least before the advent of the playoffs, fans mostly said that college football was an awesome sport because the entire season mattered. "The whole season is a playoff," etc. So there's definitely an argument that this format is bad because it threw that away.

I think I would have preferred expansion to six teams and stopping there. But four was fine. I think going beyond eight was a major mistake, but it's not getting fixed

Any time the B1G Traffickers Conference loses, America wins.

The U :bow: :bow: :bow:
Strange, because this defense held opponents under 35 (not just 38) in 11 out of 13 games this year.

In the two that it didn't, one was a bowl game with zero stakes where half the team quit, and the other was admittedly a complete arse whooping where the entire team quit on the coach that's no longer here.

Funny enough, I'm looking at how the defense did last year, under the exact same coordinator, and I'm seeing they held opponents under 35 in 11 out of 13 games there, too.

Oddest of all, the defense under that coordinator gave up an average of 21.8 points per game in those two years.

Where is this claim coming from? Doesn't seem supported by the data. :dunno:
Anybody else find it funny that no one has to explain what CLEs are? This whole damn board is nothing but lawyers :lol:

Carryover for me :pimp:

This. Now scale that up to the entire institution and you have the whole dynamic in a nutshell. LSU and Louisiana aren't allowed to take themselves seriously and try to be better, only allowed to be wild party animals and retarded caricatures who make for great stories but can't get their heads out of their asses.

It's just snobbery. And you deal with snobs by punching them in the face. :geauxtigers:
Some media personalities will always look down on LSU because of Louisiana. LSU is allowed to be elite in football but never to be taken too seriously and treated like an adult in the room. Only allowed to have retarded caricatures like Les and O for head coaches, not self-serious types that want to win, like Lane and (we thought lol rip) Kelly. And certainly not allowed to steal coaches from mighty Notre Dame, even if that turned out to be a blessing for ND.
He's good enough to be great one day, and our head coach is the best guy in America to guide him through that leap.

I don't expect him to be great next year, and I think he could use two offseasons with Lane before he'll be ready.
