What? Where? I'm not saying I couldn't have done this accidentally, that happens sometimes. I swear, I can never really tell if all of you really do get this sensitive when someone tries to have a regular conversation with you, or what. I don't see anyone in this thread who has an excuse for not realizing I'm sincere, I've told nearly all of you to end your lives violently on at least one occasion for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I went and looked up Ohio State's defensive statistics yesterday, for Christ's sake. Do you now how long that took? Is it because I used words like "delude" and "denial" and "faulty logic" and "Peach Bowl"?
Was this rhetorical?
I don't think any of you guys are looking at the matchup the same way I am, which is fine of course and if I had to actually bet on it, I'll probably end up being wrong here. But for clarity's sake, I'm not ignoring the stuff like the bolded lines above. It's just that the points of reference you guys are using are very general and often don't even apply to the teams we're discussing. Whether the Big 12 is known for bad defense or not doesn't change the fact that LSU looked more impressive to me than Oklahoma looked bad. Is Burrow going to throw another dozen touchdowns against Clemson? No. But he didn't do that against Furman in September, he did it against the #4 team in the country in the CFP. I don't find games like LSU vs Alabama, Auburn, and Texas relevant to this game, at least not when they've played two games in the last month and they indicate a team that is as hot as they come. I guess I haven't let this go because I'm genuinely surprised you're all putting so much weight on games and stats from months ago and seemingly disregarded the massacres LSU has committed in MBS this month.
