Ladies and gentlemen let’s do some simple math. Is the number 13 greater than the number 20? Because I’m pretty confident it is, and as long as it is then I’m rolling with LSU to win this one. Those rankings may be arbitrary, and I know it’s not the end all be all, but that’s what Colorado was saying when they went to play Oregon, and uh, well that didn’t work out great for them. LSU’s only loss on the season was a fluke to the currently red-hot FSU team while Ole Miss has lost recently to a directionless version of Bama.
Ole Miss has been good but not great this season, especially when you think about its current form. That loss to Bama was bad, I’m sorry, no amount of copium no matter how strong will change that. Ole Miss’s starting quarterback Jaxson Dart has honestly looked more like a runningback than a quarterback to start this season. The man has the most rushing yards on his team with 219 and three rushing touchdowns. I don’t know if they’ve looked into changing his position but honestly, it doesn’t seem like a terrible idea. I don’t like harping on one game but only scoring ten on this current version of the Alabama Crimson Tide is insane.
Jayden Daniels on the other hand has looked like a real quarterback rather than a running back who sometimes throws the ball. He has almost 1300 passing yards and 12 passing touchdowns. Now that’s a man who knows how to sling the ball around the field. Not to mention the elite receiver he has in Malik Nabers who has 523 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Oh, and his wide receiver two Brian Thomas Jr. who has 413 yards and five receiving touchdowns of his own. Those three have been an absolutely blistering trio, and as long as the LSU defense holds for long enough they will be able to pull out the win.
LSU and Ole Miss may have the same record but LSU is a much better team. Bet on LSU.
