This year's draft or next, LSU defensive line filled with first rounders - Mocking The Draft
When most talk about LSU in anticipation of tonight's BCS National Championship Game, the discussion on defense largely centers around the secondary. That comes rightly so with cornerbacks like Tyrann Mathieu and Morris Claiborne — the latter of whom will be a first-round pick this year.

Alabama will win
I don’t care. If both teams end up as champions after the final polls I give up on college football for good.
BCS has been fun but otherwise this is the least interesting college football season I’ve ever watched, and a lot of it has to do with the freakin SEC.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
I am boycotting the game
Shouldn’t be these two teams and I won’t reward them with my viewership. The SEC is overrated and Alabama lost its only really tough game of the year.
This game will again be the opposite of the Alamo Bowl and won’t tell us anything that we don’t already know.
The BCS is a farce.
goodnight
they took turns pissing into the bitch's ocular cavities.
This way to the cafeteria!

Oklahoma State would get shitwrecked by LSU or Alabama
But even then I think OSU should’ve gotten in just so we can see something different.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
Thats the problem
We don’t know and never will, cause not only didn’t that happen, but the LSU was one of the few SEC teams that played a real team out of conference and Oregon played terrible. We only know how the SEC plays against the SEC. Everyone assumes they are great.
they took turns pissing into the bitch's ocular cavities.

Boise St. probably matches up best against SEC teams
compared to the rest of the top ten. But they can’t kick their way out of a paper bag for two years running.

Stanford destroyed Oklahoma St.. Blackmon put the team on his back and that's it.

He's got a wide open Smelly and missed him

It appears to be terrible.

Watching G'Town/Cincy now
and flipping over every now and then.
The QB play is predictably awful.

I'm enjoying the game.
Every first down gained feels likes points scored and so many draft prospects on these defenses. Brockers and Mingo have been impressive.
Why is everyone (not on this site, elsewhere) high on Jordan Jefferson? The guy couldn't play a down to save his life

I had never heard of him before tonight.
But apparently he is a good athlete and all that bullshit.
I've never once heard a good thing said about Jefferson.
He sucks.
70% of space is covered by dark matter, the rest by ET.
He was the top dual-threat prep QB
in the same class as Gabbert and Andrew Luck. There was a good bit of hype around that high school QB class period.
He’s toolsy as hell but truth be told he isn’t any better today than he was when he started at LSU.

True, but it's deeper than that with SEC football
Working down here for nine years now, but grew up on football in the Midwest and West. There’s just a level of mythmaking with football that there isn’t other places.
SEC supremacy is waaaaayyyy exaggerated, but there fans really are more passionate than anyone else’s. That makes for compelling television, ready-for-TV narratives. The most fascinating part is how the mythmaking helps SEC losses and poor performances go right down the memory hole. Like they never happened.

I've felt for a long time that both teams were overrated in pass rush
Athletic guys without much in the way of moves. (I don’t think it’s any coincidence that LSU has hyped defensive linemen seemingly every year, and rarely do those guys do much—at least in terms of pass rush—in the NFL.)

Anyone else have Frontier as their internet provider?
Absolute douchebags. Don’t say I’m making a late payment on the very day my payment is due, and then say that the zip code where I live (and stored in their system) isn’t valid when I set up an online account.
I didn’t think I’d find a company worse than Comcast.

I've heard great things about their FIOS
But it’s not supported where I live.
They also billed me two days of service I never got (internet and phone). Actually they billed me for service activation despite not receiving my router for another day and not having the box activated outside my home the day after that.

LSU did sign the top HS QB
a kid named Gunnar Kiel out of Indiana. He initially committed to Indiana (where his brother plays), then apparently came to his senses.

But, the alternative was staying in the same conference as Texas. And, well, you understand.

If Jordan Jefferson is still there and playing terrible
Then it’s just Les Miles being Les. He’s the worst “winning” coach in college football.

Between this and Tebowmania taking up the NFL more than QBs who are producing record stats

he played his ass off yesterday. Pittsburgh gave him shots down the field yesterday, and he hit them.
He’s still bad though.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
He certainly had a great game.
I’m just saying that everything Tebow does, Newton does better.
Well, yeah...
a good bit of Tebowmania has nothing to do with football. It’s his religion and politics.

And the defense has had off games before, but yeah Cam on Denver and they’d win 5-6 SBs.

LSU just lost it on a 4th down fumble
6:15 remaining. Alabama takes over at around the 30.

Too late for this BCS game though.
