I like Mike Leach, but think this is a bad move for him and Mississippi State.
Not sure if his coaching style or personality with play in the Deep South and the SEC West isn't getting any easier.

Beyond that, Miss St has set themselves up as an RPO style team for years now. They don't have the personnel to easily pivot to the air raid. It's going to take a couple years to adjust and get talent.  Meanwhile Kiffin has a really talented QB who played well as a true freshman and even though he ran a ton, he passed for 5000+ yards in HS. Kiffin is gonna make him a star IMO.  Miss St clearly is impatient about success and I think Ole Miss is far better set up in the near term

So, who is winning tonight?

I have the Tigers winning.

Interesting. I have the Tigers losing!

[Pakuni]

I have the Tigers winning.

Go Tigers ... or Geaux Tigers?

I think LSU is the better all-around team, but I just can't shake the feeling that Clemson having been here before so many times, having to work hard to pull out their semifinal win, having the guy who I think will be the better pro QB, plus getting 5 1/2 points ...

Clemson in the upset.

[CreightonWarrior]

Had a good feeling about LSU until Booger McFarland came out for the coin toss.

[The Sultan]

These teams are fast

[MUBurrow]

Anybody else having trouble with the ESPN app?

An NFL team could draft only lsu and clemson players and come out in very good shape

[Cheeks]

OSU was robbed

Anybody else having trouble with the ESPN app?

I'm doing fine on it, but it's a running joke with my friends this is the worst night for the app. We usually have trouble with it for the National Championship.

[Dish]

Etienne reminds me so much of Kamara.

[MU82]

Anybody else having trouble with the ESPN app?

Yep, kept saying "server down." Missed entire first quarter.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Many streamers without cable?

[wadesworld]

OSU was robbed

Yeah they robbed themselves a couple of times. First they let the no good, terrible, horrendous, joke of a Badger program hang around with them in the B1G title game which allowed LSU to jump them for the 1 seed and forced O$U to play the overhyped Clemson Tigers instead of Oklahoma, where they blew a 16 point lead. Don't see that often from the best team in the country, but alas.

[MU82]

Burrow is a great college QB, obviously, and might turn out to be a great pro. But boy, that LSU offense sure gives him some incredible weapons at his disposal. Those receivers ... wow!

[wadesworld]

I'm sure in a few years I'll look back and have been wrong, but for my money I thought Burrow > Lawrence, and nothing I saw tonight changed that for me.

[Pakuni]

So, with another national champion, 8-2 bowl record and four teams in the top 10, safe to say it's still SEC >>>> everyone else.

I'll admit I didn't ... but I'm now wavering. He's so accurate, and he makes great decisions about when to escape the pocket. Really love watching him play.

He arguably had the greatest season any college QB has ever had. I wish him success. I just hope he survives his first year or two on a Bengals team that would have had trouble beating this year's Bayou Bengals!

Top heavy is the best in the country. Top to bottom, not so like in years past.

Still the best, going by teams in Sagarin's top 50.
SEC - 9 teams
Big 10 - 8
Pac 12 - 7
Big 12 - 7
AAC - 5
ACC - 4

Correct. I just think the schedule are not the same. The Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 are playing 9 conference games, while the ACC & SEC play 8. So, some coaches in the SEC that say every game week in and week out is a bear is over the top for many, when you look at their non conference schedules.

This man will be in his glory again.
