The big homie Poseur kinda stole my thunder on this one. His great article on the underlying numbers with this LSU offense is a very important read on what exactly going on.
Unfortunately, I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum.
This team is now 6-1, sporting a win over the formerly No. 2 team in the country, but I just don’t know how good they are. They’re fifth in the human polls but only 14th in S&P+ (a much better approximation for how good a team is). I just can’t get a read on this team and I get nervous thinking about how easily this season could still turn sour with tough games against Mississippi State (S&P+ rank 15), Alabama (S&P+ rank 1) and Texas A&M (S&P+ rank 18) still to come.
