From a Licensed Sales standpoint...either LSU or OSU will be huge, especially comping the Bama-Clemson years. LSU has an unpredictable upside.  Clemson is as low as it goes.

TV Rating potential is the same I’m sure.

 

[AAABatteries]

Who knew Clemson boosters had enough money from pig farming to pay off the refs.

 

[NutterButter]

Osu offense has just disappeared

LeBron sent Beats headphones to the Ohio st team? Uh isn’t that a violation? 

 

[dickey moe]

The combination of low IQ players and continuously getting jobbed is going to be difficult for OSU to overcome.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

On both NFL and CFB levels, they are defaulting to TO/TD call and letting review adjust.  Not the right way to go, but what they are doing.  Review got it correct.

My “great job, refs” was not sarcasm.

I like that they do that yes. In this case, I don’t think it was clearly incomplete. Not enough to overturn there IMO.

There were too many plays the refs were blowing dead that replay showed should have continued.  Better to let it play out and let review clear it up.

This wasn’t whether or not a guy was down before he fumbled, it was whether it was a catch or not. That was razor thin on whether it was enough to qualify as a catch or not and was quite obviously not a 100% certainty. To overturn it was questionable at best.

LSU fans on LSU board looking miles past both of these teams. Guess it doesn’t matter what fans think, but I thought a little more respect would be granted. Or at least feigned.

Or else honks are gonna honk.

Covered under the bowl game swag fund...which is typically pretty sweet for big bowls.

Have you watched your team lately?  They look unstoppable.  Can’t blame the fans for being overconfident.

drugs OSU gave Dobbins must be ####### fantastic

And again amazingly...the 3rd Champ ‘home’ game out of 3.

Borrowed some from the Clemson concussion recovery team

Posted in this very thread a few hours ago: Clemson should be a 1-2 pt favorite over LSU  

 Not everyone is sold yet.

 

[Blue Dot Orange Dot]

Go for it! No more FGs. 

 

[Hov34]

Ballsy

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Lucky TD

 

[baymen]

Why not go for 2 there?

Anybody that would make LSU a dog has a screw loose.

 

[dickey moe]

Ballsy call.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Day should have gone for 2

 

[RUSF18]

Agreed but they had a more difficult schedule up until that point in the season, no? Something to be said about going up against at least some above average competition before taking on a truly elite team. Add in the break that everyone has to deal with too...

OSU 1H might be a good play regardless of how you see the game finishing. 

(Except I ended up not betting it, because I was surprised OSU was only getting a half point based on what I was reading here)

 

[Capella]

Is Ryan Day alive?

 

[JaxBill]

Day should have gone for 2

absolutely 

 

[Man In The Box]

LSU will open as a 3-4 point favorite vs. either of these teams. 

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

absolutely 

Yep bad decision there 

 

[facook]

Is Ryan Day alive?

Absolutely.  Have you seen how rosey his cheeks (face cheeks) are?

 

[AAABatteries]

24 for Clemson has had a rough game.

 

[Doug B]

LSU -5.5 Clemson

No chance. Clemson -1 or 2.

Where is the calculus now? Assuming this has been a moving target that’s getting fine tuned now.

 

[Capella]

It’ll be interesting. I don’t know about 3-4. LSU’s offense is amazing but Lawrence could hurt their D. 

 

[gump]

Great point, and the Clemson coaching advantage is showing. 

What a call.

 

[Capella]

Where is the calculus now? Assuming this has been a moving target that’s getting fine tuned now.

I think LSU -2. When I wrote that I forgot it will be basically a home game for them. 

 

[Blue Dot Orange Dot]

Whoever wins this game is going to need the 16 days to get healthy. 

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

They are definitely beating the #### out of each other

 

[NutterButter]

16 days between games.   Someone needs to get fired

 

[Beef Ravioli]

This has been a very physical game! 

 

[Doug B]

I know Trevor Lawrence has the long TD run. But I see that he had 15 carries so far (and counting). Had he been a Lamar Jackson type with planned runs as part of his overall game? Or is he more of a Steve Young opportunistic runner?

 

[cheese]

The look-ahead line on Circa is LSU-3 vs Clemson. Void if OSU makes it.

Betonline has LSU -3.5 over OhSt and -2.5 over Clemson.  I took +3 with Clemson a bit ago, and +3.5 with OhSt just now.  I have underrated Ohio State.   I'm also a NOTORIOUS mush.

Still feel pretty good.  The fact that OU sucks makes this harder for the line people but public will be on LSU

 

[AAABatteries]

After that performance by LSU (even against OU) and this one being close, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s 4 or 5.  I’m not even sure that’s an overreaction.  In their last 4 games they’ve beaten 3 top-5 teams and averaged around or over 50 points a game doing it.

I don't think he's either.  He's more athletic than he looks but he's not a running QB.  Maybe an Andrew Luck type runner?

 

[Man In The Box]

Betonline has LSU -3.5 over OhSt and -2.5 over Clemson.  I took +3 with Clemson a bit ago, and +3.5 with OhSt just now.  I have underrated Ohio State.   I'm also a NOTORIOUS mush.

Sounds about right. These two teams are VERY good but LSU is a tick above. Plus the game is in their backyard. 

 

[culdeus]

If they wanted to wait two weeks why not do this last weekend?

 

[AAABatteries]

That was a bad sack to take.

 

[Blue Dot Orange Dot]

What a terrible throw by Fields. 

Edit: upon replay, no wonder it looked so bad. WR was “misdirected” a bit.
