Kudos to TCU and Baylor for UN12ing today.

You misunderstand - I was saying OSU hasn't been tested.
I think he was referring to my post, which I clarified.  I worded it poorly.

Yeah, I was meaning to note that LSU has been tested even before this game with UF and Auburn, and perhaps Texas.  Now, presuming they hold on, they have 4 very nice looking wins, one very tough one on the road here.

After this game, they have @ Ole Miss, Arkansas, and A&M.  Eleven of us could beat Arkansas this year.  Maybe the let down trips them at Ole Miss, but I doubt it, and A&M is not scaring anybody much.

They should be 12-0 going to ATL unless Bama manages some huge come back.  Turnovers have obviously been a big factor.
2 things:
a - I'd like to play left tackle or FB for our game vs Arkansas
b - LSU is more likely to score 60 than Bama is to come back.  LSU isn't going to sit on this.

It is shocking how bad Arkansas is this year.  Can anyone recall a team in the past from a decent program this bad?

I still might take the Hogs by a point over Rutgers this year.
I recall some awful Illinois teams...depending on what you consider "decent program" that year UCF went winless between successful seasons was bad.  Most of the crap seasons are all crap programs - Oregon St, Vandy, UK, KU, Baylor, etc....


I can't think of one off the top of my head.

He's done it all year. 
LSU fans poo-poo the Brady angle, giving all the kudos to Burrow, but I'm not buying it.  The difference from last year to this year is night-and-day in terms of play-calling and the overall style of play on the offense. 
He went 22-28 in 2016 and looked and ran like today,didn't get the chance

The Razorbacks have two wins, and only lost to aTm by 4.

There's been a few Michigan teams that were worse than that.

Neither was as bad as Arkansas this year, but they're better programs overall - 2012 Auburn or 2008 Michigan.

It's possible you can call the ballgame right now.  Getting that turnover at that spot on the field and having to punt?  Forget it.

Every close up of Saban shows him putting his head down and turning to the right.

They also lost to an FCS team and just got waxed by Western Kentucky 45-19...and it was worse than the score.
