LSU slaughtering OU.  Is LSU really that good or was OU not really that good (#4 CFP)? 

Maybe Clemson and OSU will be a great game. 
LSU started the season well and just continued to improve all season.  That's all about coaching, really impressive.

As a fan of a team that consistently seems to get worse throughout the season, it's frustrating to watch, I gotta admit.

Wow.  Came down to the very end. What a game by Clemson.  

I have to say that listening to Dabo after the game what a classy guy. 29 in a row. SEC be damned I’m rooting for Clemson.

Is this CD or Fearless?  I can't tell!

Clemson is not much of a threat to us for recruiting or branding, while LSU is, so the best result for Texas, would be a Clemson win.

But I don't see it happening.  I think LSU is gonna win pretty handily, by a couple of scores.

I think the three of them are in a small hat and a break or two this way or that determines the winners.  I would hate to be trying to tackle someone and be worrying about head positions during contact.  I think Alabama with Tua is probably able to mix with these guys.

Jalen Hurts played well, but it's obvious he not at the elite level of the other 3 QBs in the CFP

No QB would shine having to face an LSU def front with OUs off front

Hurts barely had time to blink before some LSU linesman had his hand on him

once LSU shut off the ground game it was over

Yeah, it's not as if Fromm did anything against LSU.  Their defense, iffy early, seems to have gelled at the right time.  But I do agree Hurts missed some passes early.

Burrow on the other hand could throw into a tight window off balance across his body with three defenders draped all over him.  I've never seen a QB play like that in college or pros.

Burreaux was otherworldly yesterday.

This LSU team is peaking at exactly the right time, both on offense and defense.  I don't see Clemson being able to keep up, and if they have the same slow start that they did against Ohio State, they're going to be down 4 TDs with absolutely no chance of coming back.

I'm thinking this is a pretty big LSU win, something like 38-23.

I think LSU will win, but am far from confident.  Clemson showed they are on a par with Ohio State, I think, and I've thought OSU was the most complete team out there.  But, if Joe Burro plays like that again, it's over.  Their running back is also very good and should be healthy by then.
