So they pull out bad games like that against Iowa St.

LSU has shown a pattern of very undisciplined play and they have only lost one time. Thats the way I look at it. If for example, Texas had that many penalities and turnovers in a game against Alabama, it would be 50-7 bama. LSU secondary has been burned. I think they take way too many risks because they rely on their D-line to harass QB's into bad throws. For gosh sakes the best Defensive lineman in the country was limping around out their still making plays even though he had no ability to rush the passer. Still batting down balls and foiling screens. (probably should not been in the game but he is so smart I guess they could not keep him out)

If LSU plays a good sound football game they will beat any of the teams you mentioned imo. And all of those teams you mentioned will have to play very well to even have a chance to beat LSU. The pattern of bad play should be of concern however.
Another cool aid drinker. Oregon was missing 4 starters and cruised over the #4 team in the country. I guess it isn't your fault, you live in Texas where there used to be good football played...
