The real prize tonight is getting to go to the White House and eat lukewarm chicken nuggets from McDonalds.
if LSU wins by 5.5 or more, or they score more than 69.5 points I win money.
LSU is up by 17, and they combine for 67 points. No matter the method, I won my bowl pool. Today is a good day.
I hate to say this, but congrats to the National Champions, LSU. They had one of the most impressive seasons in recent history. They defeated all of the following teams (rank is based on the AP Poll):
#2 Clemson - 13-1 ACC Champion / Fiesta Bowl Winner
#4 Georgia - 12-2 Sugar Bowl Winner
#6 Florida - 11-2 Orange Bowl Winner
#7 Oklahoma - 12-2 Big 12 Champion
#8 Alabama - 11-2 Citrus Bowl Winner
They won these games by an average of 19.6 points and the top four teams by at least 14 points.
Joe Burrow was insanely good. Far better than even the most diehard LSU fans could've ever imagined. Look at his stats compared to last year:
2018 - 219-379, 57.8%, 2894 Yards, 7.6 YPA, 16 TD, 5 INT
2019 - 402-527, 76.3%, 5671 Yards, 10.8 YPA, 60 TD, 6 INT
That's a nearly 20% better completion percentage, 2800 more yards, 3 more yards per attempt, 44 more TD passes, and just 1 more INT on 148 more passes! He was reportedly accurate on 90% of his throws!! We've never seen a player improve that much in one season and likely never will again. All I can say as a non-LSU fan is thank goodness he's out of eligibility and going to the NFL.
Quite frankly, Burrow is everything we thought Trevor Lawrence would be this season. Don't get me wrong - there's no doubt Lawrence (and Clemson) had a great season, but Lawrence had a really rough game tonight. He completed less than half of his passes and missed several throws. He's still the #1 overall prospect in 2021, but after last season, he was seen as the greatest QB prospect ever. Now that honor arguably goes to Burrow. I'm not writing Lawrence off, but tonight was very disappointing.

Another post because I just had to shit on Auburn.
Auburn held the national champions to their lowest points scored and beat Alabama only to lose to Minnesota in the Outback Bowl.
What a perfect summary of Gus Malzahn's Auburn.
Yes, I totally agree with you!
Thanks
