This serves to show fans are not of one minset and workable models can come in many forms and fashion.

You did a good job of showing that opinions, run the gambit.

Yet for some reason earlier you implied posters as being lumped together.

Not sure how you arrived at that perception.

The SBC is the strongest G5 league top to bottom. In 2024 the CFP is expanding to 12 and the highest ranked G5 champion will get in. If JMU were eligible they would get in.

So for your ignorant self, understand that in most years the SBC champ with 1 or 2 losses will be in the CFP hunt.

If you think it’s easier to beat Texas, Oklahoma, Bama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Miss St, Arkansas and Florida every year than it is to go undefeated in the SBC you’re dumb.

Through the years there have been many discussions about how, when LSU is at its best the door opens, wider for Louisiana to get better recruits.

Simply because when, LSU is at its peak, they tend to go more down the nationwide recruiting trail.

These conversations took place years ago but case in point, look at what Louisiana did following LSU's most recent National Championship run.

Louisiana had some of its best recruiting classes in recent memory.

Hey stupid. Take a look at the current CFP rankings. 3 loss teams are ranked higher than any G5 team (Tulane) with one loss.

None of that erases the fact that UL has as good of an open door chance to make the College Football Playoffs as LSU does".

It will take scheduling tougher much tougher.

But the opportunity, "chance" to capitalize on that opportunity is as open to Louisiana as it is to LSU.

If we were 9-1, like we should be, and win the SBC we would have a shot. An 11-1 UL vs and undefeated JMU and the Cajuns win, in 2024 we would be in the CFP as the highest ranked G5 champ.

So if it will tougher scheduling on UL’s part, then no, there isn’t the same chance.
