Kind of fell apart down the stretch. Not sure if it’s the coach or the QB

LSU is 6-2 with 4 P5 wins, including 2 away, as well as 1 G5 win, 1 FCS win, and 2 losses at last week's #13 TAMU and at a neutral site to USC. The difference in LSU and CU is that LSU has not lost at home, basically.

ESPN has them above Alabama in standings, so they must be.

T-13. 1 Tier 1 win (Ole Miss). 2 Tier 2 losses (USC, Texas A&M).

Must win out now to make the playoffs

The loss to A&M hurt as much as the wins against Ole Miss, Arkansas, & UCLA helped, combined. They have a week to lick their wounds before a tricky last couple games while hoping to avoid A&M in a tiebreaker scenario.

T24ᵗʰ W/L, T21ˢᵗ Predicted Wins, 16ᵗʰ Team Strength, 11ᵗʰ Quality of Wins

Well at least the loss was on the road; they have some good wins I guess

LSU moves back to 19 with the loss to TAMU

Started strong against the Aggies, but completely fell apart. Fraud check.

(-7) Got mauled in the second half by A&M. On bye next, then a huge game against Alabama where both teams need to win to stay in the playoff hunt.

-7, can't punish the Tigers too much, but they need to win out for playoff

I'm sorry, LSU, you shouldn't be this low, but my rules are my rules, and records matter.

Nussmeier is truly an enigma at QB. He'll complete wild, tight-window throws that make you think he could be a superstar, and then he'll turn around and throw a head-scratching INT or three. What to make of him (and what to make of LSU) becomes more difficult as time passes. They've got the close OT win over Ole Miss and a dominant win @Arkansas, but a close loss to 4-4 USC, a heavily ref-aided win over the other USC, and now this loss @TA&M leaves me to ask: Will the real LSU please stand up?

Not really all that good of a showing this week. Very concerning for the rest of the season. With a pretty strong schedule going into the last 4 games of SEC play, their SEC Championship berth is very much in doubt.

Best game: @ Arkansas
Worst game: vs USC (Neutral)

Multi score loss to AtM. Beat Ole Miss so ahead of them

The first half version is why you remain ranked. Kelly's inability to make adjustments is the reason you remain irrelevant to the SEC and playoff conversation

Loss against Texas A&M with 2 losses(-5)

First 5 Out: UNLV, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Cincinnati, Illinois
