If we’re looking strictly at LSU’s current ranking in the AP Poll, 14th, that would imply they’re a pretty good team. In fact they’d be a fringe playoff team just on that one number right next to their name!
But through four weeks LSU just feels...off. Their best performance was arguably in a losing effort against USC in Las Vegas. They’ve won three straight— and as Herman Edwards taught us “you play to win the game”—, but the wins over Nicholls, South Carolina, and now UCLA haven’t really inspired a lot of confidence as LSU heads into their final non-con game.
