This from a senior, three year(?) starter is just awful.

It's pretty bad. I'm not going to trash the guy because I'm sure he gave it his all but damn. It's just hard to believe that that was the best LSU could do. I guess I've been spoiled by decades of elite Secondary play.

Claim 1908 officially first

Serious question, why on god's green earth hasn't this been done already? Why does LSU leave a perfectly good natty just out there? It's recognized and everything. All these other programs claim a championship if some random dude named Bob said they were the best back in 1902.

It was helmet to helmet. I've seen flags thrown for much less. If you're a Texas fan then it was a good call. For just about everyone else, ASU got jobbed. But such is life. All sports want their biggest brands on the biggest stage. Texas staying in the playoffs does more for ratings than ASU.

Let's keep it real, would you rather have ASU vs Ohio State to watch or Texas vs Ohio State? The powers that be have to be elated right now. Texas, Ohio State, Penn State, and either Georgia or Notre Dame will be the final four. No matter what they will have four big brands with rich history and all that stuff that used to make college football so special.

I'm not expecting to see many Cinderella stories in this format.

This is great news! Now for the love of god, rush the QB. That is all. If it happens to be a run then try to blow it up in the backfield. Backside pursuit. Knock down passes at or behind the line of scrimmage. Let the young man live behind the LOS. That's all. No coverage. No reads. Just get in the backfield by any means necessary.

Move him around. If offenses try to run right at him then move him. Bring him from the A gap. Use him like the Cowboys used to use Micah Parsons. Or even better, use him like you used him that one time that he was All SEC.

The jump from 4 to 12 was just too much. Most years college football somehow managed to have the two best teams playing each other for the championship. Obviously it was never perfect and you would have an odd year here and there like in 2004 where an undefeated SEC champion Auburn was left out in the cold in favor of #2 OU and #1 USC. But they went to a 4 team playoff so a team like Auburn would have an opportunity.

I really liked the four team playoff because typically there are only a few legitimate championship caliber teams. The regular season was massive because 1 loss could make of break your playoff chances. Most years it was clear who the top 4 teams in the country were and they were able to settle it on the field.

In all my years of watching cfb I have never seen a year where there were 12 legitimate championship caliber teams. Even 8 was a stretch but an 8 team playoff made sense. It would eliminate the controversary that popped up here and there. An undefeated Auburn or FSU team makes it in. Now they have overcorrected to absurd 12 teams and instead of eliminating controversary it has created more. They could make it a 16 team playoff and there would still be controversary. There will always be the first team out who felt like they deserved to be in.

Surprised to see so many people in their feelins about this. I guess they wanted ? at QB next year. Nuss coming back buys LSU some time to find the next guy. And maybe, just maybe, Nuss shows some improvement after his first year of being the full time starter. If he improves then boom, great starting QB. If he doesn't then well, you just have a regular solid SEC caliber starting QB.

Following Burrow and Daniels was going to be tough for any QB but Nuss has been loyal to LSU and he's coming back. I think having two of the greatest QBs in college football history back to back might've spoiled some folks. I can remember a time not that long ago when I would've given your pinky toe for a QB like Nuss.

The SEC was always tough but now it's a horror show. No one here gets out alive. Why add in one or two more powerhouses to your hell on earth gauntlet?

I'm not saying LSU should pull out of anything already scheduled. Stand tall before the man and honor your commitments but the game has changed. Those big OOC games used to be very important for SOS. Now it's all about not being 10-3 when another team is 11-2.

Don't be obtuse. This is a super easy concept to understand. You want to be macho and schedule powerhouses for absolutely no reason and play in the Pop-Tart Bowl then okay, bold strategy. But if you want to go to the playoffs and actually matter then get real. Be smart.

Yeah. Wake me up when they find out a way to regulate NIL. Salary cap or something. Until then I just don't have Fs to give about how much some school was able to pay to some kid to play football. CFB is gone with the wind. 2019 was the last real CFB season. Glad I was around to see it. Whatever the sport is now, ya'll can have it.

No, I'm gonna go ahead and allow this one. If Weeks keeps up this kind of play then we'll call him what we damn well please. If he earns the title of Honkey Badger then so be it. Honkey is a criminally underrated word and I encourage it's use. It's perhaps the funniest word in the English language.

This is college football. Let's have a little fun with it. Not everything has to be so damn serious. Make America Funny Again. #MAFA

Not sure of that, but I do know that if you try too hard to insert someone in a game plan where it’s a square peg in a round hole it doesn’t work.

So true. It must be so frustrating when you have a gifted talent that doesn't have a natural position. You end up with a bizarre situation where your best player hurts the defense as a whole. We've seen this before with elite pass rushers who were a liability in the run game.

Look here's the deal, Perkins Jr is a speed pass rusher. That's it. Nothing wrong with that. We saw him do it as a true freshman and he was great. Last year he was inexplicably moved away from the line of scrimmage and asked to play in space. Not great.

I don't know what Perk was doing this year but I'd forget he was even in the game at times.
