(238 + 23 -> 261; 3 -> 2) Not a whole lot to say, other than to comment that LSU's best win wasn't as convincing as Ohio State's. The computer takes over completely soon, so LSU will have to outdo Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, and company to stay perched up here. (-1)
LSU's offense is 3rd in SP+ and 4th in FPI, while the defense is 28th and 36th respectively. In the Playoff era, the closest comparison I can find to that stat profile is...2014 Baylor? (S&P+: 11 Off/21 Def, FPI: 3 Off/21 Def). Make of that whatever you will.
Is it more impressive to blow out Utah State at home or Tennessee away (while struggling at first)? Probably the former. Georgia and LSU are still super close imo. I think the Texas win is looking better as well.
