Okie State may just be the best match up. Better overall talent than Oregon, and can score points in bunches.
I think Boise would end up a lot like a Stanford game. I don't think they have the horses to play with LSU.
The best match up may just be a one loss Oklahoma, even with Broyles out. They have the best talent out there to match up with LSU and have a top tier QB.
I agree that Stanford and Boise don't have the horses so to speak, but they do have the QBs. If the lines could give Luck or Moore time (which is a big if) I think they are both so accurate they could really test LSU.
Okie State doesn't play defense. Every time one of these high scoring offenses run into a phyiscal defense they rarely win.
I think Oklahoma and actually Wisconsin match up well, but neither has a chance to play for it so doesn't really matter.
Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread
Stanford has one of the best offensive lines in the country. Jonathan Martin and David DeCastro are viewed as first round picks.

It's convenient to characterize turnovers as "mistakes".

WVU lost by 26 pts.
Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread
Don't try to act like LSU dominated that game from the beginning. Like I said, with around a minute to go in the third quarter it was a six point game.

Why? Because they lost to a team that OSU and Stanford never played? I understand what you're saying but I'm not ready to go there yet

LSU led 27 to 7 at the half. Geno tried to give people a reason to watch a few more minutes with a couple quick scores but LSU popped the fairy tail bubble with a kick off return before again dominating the game in the 4th quarter.
Was there really any stretch of this game where it looked like WVU could win?

Yes, when it was a six point game late in the third quarter.

For all of 1 second?
Re: SEC Football Discussion Thread
What part of my last post didn't you understand?
Even at a two touchdown deficit the game still felt winnable with the way WVU was moving the ball.

It was a 6 pt game for all of 1 play.
I'm not sure you actually watched the game.

What a coincidence, because I was thinking the same thing about you.

You're the one claiming a 26 pt win by LSU and Oregon's failure to rush for 100 yards against the Tigers' defense exposes LSU. That's a tortured narrative.
You know what happened after Geno came within 6?
LSU returned a kickoff for a TD. The LSU defense forced a turnover on downs. LSU jammed the ball down WVU's throats for a TD. LSU's defense forced a fumble. LSU jammed the ball down WVU's throats for a TD. In other words, more of the same owing two drives by Geno in the third quarter.

LSU has played the hardest schedule in the country, they're undefeated and some folks are trying to poke holes in their season. That is tortured indeed.
