I'm still on the train that were a top 10 team in the country that's too afraid to play like it. There's a great argument to be made that both losses are directly because of coaching mistakes

Ole miss first half had the complete wrong game plan and kiffin even took the blame for it and of we go for it on that 4th down last week we win even with all the other stuff around that game.

Lsu is one of the most talented teams in the country and they can hang and get in a dogfight with anybody we just haven't seen that kiffin is willing to lean into the dogfight

Yeah, it feels like LSU is missing the killer instinct that makes great teams great. Shutting out MSU (even without Super Kemario and their RB) is impressive. But I feel like AP voters are just going to see "LSU shut out MSU" and vault them up in their ballots, even though I don't think LSU should move much higher than like 18, precisely because this MSU team was missing the two players that make the offense work.
