[u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Can we stop pretending LSU is playoff caliber now

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

at this point, who in the SEC is playoff caliber outside of Georgia and Bama?

[u/AlphaWildcat86 → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Kentucky

[u/Davidellias → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Kentucky, unironically

[u/slrrp → u/Davidellias]

Just as we had all predicted…

[u/astrothemorkie → u/Davidellias]

Mizzou too

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/Davidellias]

bc they beat mid lsu and bad a&m?

[u/Orion14159 → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

5-1 and our only loss was to Bama, we can't help who's on our schedule but we've gone toe to toe with the big boys and held our own

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/Orion14159]

agreed, y’all have been super impressive. It’s just hard for me to believe a first year head coach at Kentucky will make the CFP but anything can happen! Congrats on the win tonight

[u/tenclubber → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

I don't know if you watched football last year, but I do recall Indiana winning the championship.

Pretty sure that was pretty hard for a lot of people to believe...and by a lot of people I mean all of the people.

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/tenclubber]

not sure comparing one of the most improbable championships in the history of the sport to kentucky this year is valid but sure

[u/Due_Profession3023 → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Improbable? IU has won like 22 in a row

[u/tenclubber → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

It's the "at Kentucky" part. Because after what IU has done it doesn't matter if it's Kentucky, Kansas or whoever. You can no longer discount a program just because they don't have a long history of winning football. It don't matter anymore.

[u/ferriswheeljunkies11 → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Who has Texas Tech beat?

Go pound a cow.

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/ferriswheeljunkies11]

Houston but that wasn’t the topic and I’m not claiming that’s some massive win either

[u/Squantoon → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Kentucky

[u/BobDeLaSponge → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

The Texas defense can probably get them in. That’s probably about it

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/BobDeLaSponge]

idk, their schedule is brutal. Florida, Ole Miss, Miss St, Mizzou, LSU is the next 5

[u/opinurmynd → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

That schedule is not looking so brutal anymore.

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/opinurmynd]

they just lost to Oklahoma lol. All 5 of those teams are better than Oklahoma

[u/Misdirected_Colors → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Only 1, maybe 2 of those teams will be ranked by end of season

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/Misdirected_Colors]

and they’re still all better than Oklahoma

[u/Misdirected_Colors → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Idk man. Mateer sucks but their D and special teams are elite. They're basically crimson Iowa

[u/daffydubs → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Missouri is slept on…

[u/Relevant_Ad_1225 → u/daffydubs]

next week against Ole Miss is massive for both programs. A must win for either program given their remaining schedules

[u/PrivateCimon → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Kentucky duhh

[u/ganner → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Missouri

[u/Prowindowlicker → u/Relevant_Ad_1225]

Kentucky and Mizzou

[u/YoungNasteyman → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

You and us both buddy.

[u/WhiskeyForTheWin → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Nope. SEC, BABY.

Now they have 2 quality losses

[u/Squantoon → u/WhiskeyForTheWin]

And you still don't have a quality win

[u/WhiskeyForTheWin → u/Squantoon]

We're gonna wreck two top 10 teams. Sadly USC is ducking us

[u/Business_Permit_3686 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Idk how anyone thought a team with a new coach and a bunch of new players would suddenly be one of the best in the country

[u/Arrowintheknee89 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Look who’s talking

[u/trydim21 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

You look in a mirror recently? If Arch had a different last name he'd be an FCS backup

[u/RhuleAid → u/trydim21]

LSU fans might actually be the biggest losers in all of sports holy shit. Take this L. And this fake ass natty yall thought Kiffin was gonna bring you.

[u/trydim21 → u/RhuleAid]

Its the first year. Nobody thought LSU was gonna win a Natty year one, especially with Leavitt. He was ass at ASU, no reason yo expect he would be any better here.

[u/RhuleAid → u/trydim21]

you sure about that? we can pull up the receipts

[u/trydim21 → u/RhuleAid]

Sorry, I can't speak for everyone.. but people who live in the real world never thought.

[u/Shadowphoenix9511 → u/trydim21]

And somehow lost to a first year head coach.

Not first year at Kentucky. First year head coach at all.

[u/trydim21 → u/Shadowphoenix9511]

And he's a damn good coach you guys got there. What's your point?

[u/Buffalo_Springsteen → u/trydim21]

Arch has two top 15 wins this season. Your team has beaten no one and lost to the only two teams with a pulse you've played.

[u/Buffalo_Springsteen → u/[deleted]]

"What he say fuck me for"

[u/trydim21 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

He's also the 107th ranked QB according to PFF... he's ass. Its fine to admit it. Your team carries him.

[u/Fresh_Drama_8298 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Stop deflecting, we suck but you lost to Oklahoma.

[u/Buffalo_Springsteen → u/Fresh_Drama_8298]

And still have a top 5 win and another top 15 win. But congrats on beating Clemson and A&M.

[u/ItsTimetoLANK → u/Fresh_Drama_8298]

Just took an l to Kentucky dude.

[u/mtheory007 → u/Fresh_Drama_8298]

Buddy that is not going to fix how dog shit what just happened was. There was a stupid ass missed call that let the last play happen I'll give that but what in the world kind of defense do you play on like that? Why even bother running the play if you're just going to be that bad? That was just so terrible. What even was that defensive scheme? Literally no one spying the quarterback who has been doing that all game long? Absolutely egregious unacceptable embarrassing

[u/Exact_Tumbleweed2005 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

they will if you will

[u/Buffalo_Springsteen → u/Exact_Tumbleweed2005]

Lmao Texas would be in the playoff easily if it began today. LSU is all but eliminated already.

[u/Exact_Tumbleweed2005 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Michigan blew the doors off this Oklahoma team...

[u/Buffalo_Springsteen → u/Exact_Tumbleweed2005]

Michigan beat OU by 7

[u/Buffalo_Springsteen → u/Exact_Tumbleweed2005]

Texas also has a top 5 and top 15 road win.

[u/trydim21 → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Unhide your posts and comments coward!

[u/DarthWhoDat → u/Buffalo_Springsteen]

Agreed 100%. But I think Texas is even worse so….
