LSU has the most dominant single player in college and the most dominant style (running game, not only Fournette, but solid backup RB's and a good running QB).
They have a great offensive line and a pretty good defense, not quite elite, but very good.
I also think Brandon Harris is a good QB, Miles just doesn't have the confidence in him yet and I think they are trying to build him up slowly (biggest reason their games have been so close, they are playing super safe). I think that will be the biggest progression for their team.
Sure Utah is a more balanced and more well rounded team at this point, but they don't have the high end upside IMO because I don't see any part of their team being as dominant as LSU's running game. Only way to really beat LSU is to get a big early lead and force them into passing situations, very hard to do given how long they eat possession by pounding the ball and wearing out a defense.
LSU and Ole Miss look they could both be legit contenders in the SEC haven't caught a Georgia game yet.
Ohio st. looks complacent (last year doe) Michigan St. is my pick to take the Big 10 as of now.
The Pac 12 is gunna be a dog fight.
The Big XII can suck my dick.
I need to watch Clemson but I'm skeptical.( they're playing Notre Dame next week)
Week 4 twist my arm playoff prediction in no particular order
LSU
Michigan St.
Utah
Notre Dame
