You know what used to be cool at LSU?
Winning significant games.

www.usatoday.com College Football Playoff Predictor: Georgia looks downright unbeatable Georgia has emerged as the team nobody wants to face, taking the No. 1 spot in our College Football Playoff Predictor after a dominant win. Keep in mind Tennessee beat Alabama by 16.
With a backup quarterback.

@MattHayesCFB Keep in mind that AL is 4-2 in SEC, TN is 3-2. And also to consider there is strength of schedule, points won by, game location and impact of significant starter injuries. A side by side comparison of schedules helps.View quoted post on X
In the words of the great Bobby Bowden, I’m just bumfuzzled.
For the "Tennessee should be ranked ahead of Alabama" crowd:View quoted post on X
Tennessee beat Kentucky by 28 ... in Knoxville. Alabama beat Kentucky by 28 ... in Lexington.
Tennessee lost to South Carolina. Alabama beat South Carolina ... by 31 points.
Tennessee beat Alabama ... in Knoxville ... the week after Alabama played Georgia. The week after Alabama played Georgia, Georgia lost to Auburn in Athens.
AP ranked wins on the road: Alabama 3, Tennessee 0. Alabama's wins by 28, 33 and 18 points.
CFP ranked road wins: Alabama 2, Tennessee 0. Alabama's wins by 28 and 18 points.
Head-to-head should be the decider when all else is close to equal. In this case, right now, it's not.
Any questions?
Some strong words.
I'm about to go on an uncomfortable rant about @LSUfootball and @Lane_Kiffin, and I really don't give a shit.View quoted post on X
LSU is one of the top schools in college football and spends the most money on building its roster and resources. They had the number one portal class in America and paid Lane Kiffin 90 million dollars. I'm sick of the "give him time" bullshit. I'm sick of celebrities walking the tiger walk like it's a fucking parade and Mardi Gras. Lane, you can make people feel good about the optics, but that shit never fooled me. You can’t recruit in-state because these kids think you’re a snake and it needs to change. It's always been about winning games REMEMBER THAT.
From the "let them" gimmick on social media to the whole "Ole Miss playoff" shenanigans and "recruiting pro players to LSU," you need to grow the fuck up. Real talk. Decide if you want to be a coach or a professional troll, but do it quick because they won't keep being patient with you. These fans will hate me for saying this, and I could give a rat's ass. I poured my blood and sweat into that university and brought a national championship back to Baton Rouge. Their opinions don't matter to me.
We pay you 90 million and give you over 40 million to build the best roster in America, yet Pete Goulding has more meaningful wins as head coach at Ole Miss than you. I hope this makes you uncomfortable when you read it, because it should. Nobody in that facility will call you out on your bullshit, but I will.
Cut the Mardi Gras gimmick, hot yoga, and content creating show. When Alabama dominates the living hell out of you on your home turf as a touchdown underdog, some nasty conversations need to happen. This isn't Bowling Green or UTEP. You don't get time to build a culture. I'm sick of hearing more about Lane Kiffin's off-field shenanigans than winning games that matter.
Hate me all you want for what I say, but this is who I am and always was. Ask anybody about me in that building, Lane. They'll tell you. Get this fucking shit fixed.
Forever LSU.
