re: Horrible fielding is really what has bit us the most this year

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he means horrible fieldING, which has indeed been a problem.

re: North Carolina media owning repeat Wade

If you think LSU is unusual in having boosters with a large say in coaching decisions, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know what that salty sports reporter thinks he's proving with that montage. Wade genuinely intended to hit the portal hard, produce immediate improvement, and take a dumpster fire team to the NCAA tournament in his first year at NC State--which he did. He intends to do the same thing at LSU, so he makes similar comments at his introductory press conference there. What do they expect him to say? "While I produced a quick turnaround in Raleigh, I expect sustained, extended mediocrity here in Baton Rouge?"

This is actually a line from the piece:
"[LSU] has made a history out of soaking itself in the stink of the bayou."
That gives away the game right there. The outsized, irrationally negative response to LSU's coaching hires definitely has a strong dimension of regional prejudice to it. If Lane Kiffin and Will Wade were coaching at Ohio State right now, I guarantee you we wouldn't be seeing anything like the same level of outrage and contempt.

I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t know about any of the negativity unless it was posted here.
Well, here's just one pretty representative example from a prominent national source:
Athletic piece on LSU coaches
The reaction really is crazy and disproportionate. Will Wade is entitled to take another job, and coaches claiming that they are fully committed to their current gig right up until the moment they aren't isn't just common, it's the only thing they can reasonably do.
Now, I will say that I wouldn't love to be Wade's Athletic Director...

Well, he won the SEC at LSU. And the SLC at McNeese. And multiple NCAA tournament games. But other than that, I guess you're right--he hasn't won anything.

Well, you might argue that, but you would be wrong. If a university accepts federal funds at all (which LSU obviously does), then Title IX applies.

While this is largely true, it does look like UNO may be better than most of us thought. They won at TCU and romped at Tulane. LSU destroyed them. It's definitely the Tigers' best win so far.

The team sucks. Everybody knows it.
This may turn out to be true, but certainly not "everybody" knows it. Multiple ESPN college basketball analysts (including Jay Bilas), for example, have LSU as an NCAA tournament bubble team. Now, these same guys have 10-13 SEC teams in the tourney, so that assessment is not inconsistent with LSU ending up in the bottom third of the league. Given how grueling the SEC gauntlet will be, it is imperative that the Tigers rack up wins in the non-conference. The neutral-site and road games between November 28th and December 13th (Texas Tech, Georgia Tech, SMU, etc.) are especially important. If they can go into conference play at 11-2 or better, they have a reasonable chance to make the Tournament. If they don't, I think everyone would agree that it's time to go in another direction from a coaching standpoint.

watching the same exact football game the last 4 years
Really? You think the games this year look like "the same exact football game" as when Jayden Daniels was here, we had no defense, and were winning or losing 51-45? I swear, I think that some people who post on here live in an alternate football universe.
Now, to be clear, I don't think Kelly is above criticism. But to say that it's just "the same old thing" every year is just flat wrong. In fact, what is amazing is how we seem to have found a radically different formula for being good-but-not-great every year. I do think the expectation this year should be a playoff berth. It's still in play--we'll see if we get there.

You are exactly right. The ACC is way ahead of the rest of college football on this. It would be very helpful to have this kind of transparency, so that even if fans disagreed, they would know where the officials were coming from. It would help tamp down the conspiracy theories.

FPI is a power ranking on who would be favored on a neutral field
Yeah, except that it's not even that. Ole Miss is a 1-point favorite at home against LSU. This means that Vegas would favor LSU on a neutral field, even though the Tigers are 11 spots lower in FPI. At the end of 2019, AFTER the playoffs in which LSU had obliterated everyone in their path and completed arguably the best season in college football history, FPI still had LSU 3rd. That tells you a lot. But, to be clear, it doesn't reflect "ESPN bias," as there is no human judgment in it. It's just a flawed formula.
re: LSU opens as -1.5 favorite against Ole Miss.
Posted by profwilson on 9/21/25 at 12:34 pm to Arthur Bach
It's up to LSU +2.5 now. A lot of early money apparently coming in on Ole Miss. This doesn't surprise me that much--the betting public tends to be more impressed by offense than by defense.
re: Playoff projections
Posted by profwilson on 9/15/25 at 6:10 pm to TexasOnTop
USC is currently #25 in the AP poll and unranked in the coaches' poll, so they are marginal. Navy and NC State are the only other teams on their schedule even receiving votes, and they don't play a conference championship game. So yes, they could quite possibly "sort out their defense" as the season goes on, but how will we really know?
