Or...LSU is That Good

LSU should dominate South Carolina just as it has its other 3 opponents this season. This South Carolina team isn’t that different from Mississippi State or Virginia Tech. LSU has put up 44 plus points on 3 different teams this season so I don’t see any reason why the same shouldn’t happen here. People can say Virginia Tech is overrated and they probably are. People will try to say the same about South Carolina and they are also probably overrated, but it will be hard to justify saying every top 15 team LSU plays is overrated. At some point people will realize just how good this defense and offense are and that they make good teams look bad. Blowing out the #12 team 2 weeks after blowing out the #9 team should take ammunition away from USC diehards. People are saying that USC is #1 and LSU is #2 because they won on the road against a “good team.” Nebraska will continue to masquerade as a top 25 team until October 6th because they have a very weak schedule. After improving to 4-1 they will lose as many as 5 out of their next 6 with games against Missouri, Texas A &M, Texas, Kansas, and Kansas State with only A&M and Kansas State at home. Meanwhile, the Mississippi State Bulldogs will continue to win over people realizing how good they are when they improve to 3-1 after a win against Gardner Webb this weekend. They will have a chance against a demoralized South Carolina team next week. The following week they will defeat UAB in Starkville for homecoming. If they can beat South Carolina next week they would improve to 5-1 after the UAB victory and likely prove that LSU won against a decent opponent on the road. State will lose most of their remaining games. Their schedule after UAB? Tennessee, at West Virginia, at Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas in Little Rock, and Ole Miss. They will have a chance in these games and might finish a bowl team. My point is that by the end of the year, I think State and Nebraska have similar records and USC’s road victory is not so impressive. By that time LSU will have also had to prove themselves at Kentucky and at Alabama, not to mention #3 Florida and the other games you already know about. LSU will keep making teams appear “overrated” until the end of the season.
