We'll have to play better to win.

8 here. Computer models love teams that return a ton of production, only had close losses outside of Bama, largely ignore bowl results that had half the team playing, and that blowout opponents / control the game very well.

Humans don't. That's why humans lose to Vegas over and over.

Humans (poll voters) base their opinions on preconceived notions, largely driven by the uniform of the team, then rarely admit they were wrong about those preconceptions and resort to confirmation bias as long as possible.

Let's hope they're right. If they are, we are a legitimate playoff contender.

Yea, LSU mobile q b and lots of good athletes on their defense, especially front seven that can get to the q b......that can cause us problems.

After watching the sec officials against Arizona....they worry me more than LSU. We may have to beat LSU by 24 points to beat them by ten, if you know what I mean.

Afraid you are correct. From what I see across many games, the narrative team they want to win will get the calls. That team ain't us so we gotta do more.
