I will watch if I can just because of the teams matching up. Talent all over the field. But I can't see myself pulling for either team
Who wins the Miami vs LSU game?
- Thread starter Redwood Forrest
- Start date
Miami was kind of exposed last year beating a bunch of nobodies in close games (the one home blowout win over Notre Dame notwithstanding) before losing three in a row. They were humiliated and totally outclassed by Clemson in the ACC Title Game and beaten pretty decisively by Wisconsin in the Orange Bowl... But I like Richt and the trajectory of the program, especially if they feel like they have a chip on their shoulder after how last year ended.
LSU feels like it's on a downward trajectory. I just don't believe in Coach O in any capacity and I think his tenure ultimately ends in ruin. They still have enough defense to stay competitive but I think this will be a close loss in a season full of them for LSU.

To give a “real” answer. I believe that unless Burrows is as good as people have been jawing about then this very well could be the worst LSU team since 99. I still think academic requirements are going to hold Richt back for a few years but I believe his trajectory is better that Oeaux’s. I see this game coming down to coaching like the Michigan- UF game last year in Dallas and see Miami winning 30-20.
I know it`s only the first game, but I think that were it to occur, a blowout loss could start LSU on a downward trajectory from which they could not recover. If that were to happen, Coach O might not see season`s end. Not predicting that, mind, but with Coach O, one never knows!
I don't think Miami has the horses to keep up with LSU if the Tigers are prepared. I don't think Orgeron is LSU's answer, but my gut tells me LSU will win this one, probably by seven or less.
The old Miami 'THE U' in a fight with the new Cajun hatred for all things Saban for my cheers. Hmmm. I guess it will be the SEC being the deciding factor. I like corndogs and I don't like storms. So ….… go tigers.
Interesting battle between Orgeron and Richt. Buffoon vs The Choker. Who prevails? I lean toward LSU due to talent level alone (assuming QB play is anywhere near respectable).

It depends on the criteria used to rank. Some use stats with (recruiting, returning starters and schedule), some a combination of stats and intuition. Then there are those who rank how they begin and others rank how they finish. Some of them always rank some Cinderella up high -- for the clicks and attention IMO.
LSU will be in the top 15 if using stats and probably not ranked if using intuition.
Well that’s my whole point. Both sides of the situation are unthinkable. How can LSU be unranked with all that talent? At the same time, how can they be as high as #11 when Ogre is their coach? It’s such a paradox...
I think Miami will be able to score better than LSU will. Miami's talent level is pretty close to LSU and I think they win.
