Yep, top 4 is all that matters. Now, for you over thinkers, being #1 may mean avoiding playing OSU and Clemson, but that is assuming all else stayed equal. This will ebb and flow a bit more in the next 2 weeks. As long as we are top 4, all will be fine.
I don't like it, nor do I agree with it. But I get it. If you've seen OSU play this year, you've seen a frightening defense and a very good offense. I don't see any weaknesses there. If you've watched LSU play, you've seen the best and most efficient offense college football has seen in years, and a defense that can't tackle and gives up big plays to everyone. I get it. I still think LSU should be #1. Undefeated with the biggest achievement of any team in the nation....defeating Bama on the road. PS, we can stop talking about that big top ten road win in Austin. Texas is 6-5, and almost lost to Kansas at home.
You realize that if Arkansas been held to 6 points, LSU would have stayed #1? It's fairly ridiculous to make the move based on that. 2 meaningless scores against the backup defensive players. This is why you have to show no mercy. But I'd rather take star players off the field to avoid injury (see Tua). Agreed, Texas killed us. Tom Hermann spiting us for a second time.
So Ohio State finally played a legit opponent and only put up 28 points. That offense is something to behold.
Baylor was the big winner. Moving up to #9, they now have an outside shot at jumping Bama with a win over Oklahoma, the only team they have lost to. Especially if it's a 2 score win.
Penn state defense is roughly equal to Auburn defense and we scored 28 also. Although I agree with your sentiment. What I find funny is two weeks ago osu played Rutgers and were 50 point favorites. That is more or less our rkansas game. Yet all the talk was that they played a tough opponent and we didnt.
Did you watch? Fields made about 5 legit throws all game. He cannot read a defense. He’s entirely reliant on escaping the pocket and making pre-determined reads. If you can get pressure and keep him contained, he’s in a lot of trouble. JK Dobbins is definitely legit, but obviously is reliant on their OL dominating. OSU is definitely top tier, but after watching them Saturday, I’m not afraid.
