Texas, LSU Playoff Hopes and Arch Manning's Next Move

You know, you're a fan of Sark, and you really do believe if this football team ends up winning this coming weekend, you think that this team can still make it to the college football playoff, right? You think there's going to be a pretty close team. We're talking LSU or Texas? We're talking LSU. Yeah, I think Texas is certainly going to the college football playoff win or lose here. You look at the wins that they have over... Ole Miss, a real Ohio State when Ohio State had a real team. Tennessee, they beat. So, like, they're going, even at 9-3. But LSU, it's – I just wonder about LSU. Like, are they as good as the power ratings and all that tend to say that they are? Like, they're, like, the biggest difference between, like, the Vegas power ratings and the AP poll and the college football playoff. But, again, put yourself in the committee's shoes from... three weeks from now, LSU ending the year on a three-game winning streak, which would include a win over Texas, which would include a win over Tennessee. The perception and the narrative might completely change if you're a 9-3 LSU with that resume as opposed to right now, prisoner of the moment, losing by 18 at home against Alabama. And again, by the way, that they outgained Alabama by almost 200 yards. It was just Alabama stepping up in the red zone and making every... Big stop, every big high leverage play ultimately went in their way. Bear, what happens with Arch? Does he come back one, in your opinion, and go to Austin? Or does he leave and transfer? I know there's a lot of conversation about him potentially taking over for Trinidad Chambliss down in Ole Miss. Do you think he comes back first and foremost? And if he does, is it Texas or someplace else? I think the answer would have been different had we talked about this a couple of weeks ago. I would have said, no, I think he leaves and goes somewhere else. But I think the fact that he's coming off of a pretty good game and a really kind of a gut-check type of hard-fought win like they had at Missouri, and you're looking at Texas right now, I would say, I still, push comes to shove, and I think if they do lose at LSU, the narrative obviously will change once again. And, uh... My hunch is he does go somewhere else. And I know nothing. I don't know anything what's going on inside of Cooper and Eli and Peyton and Archie's mind, what they've talked about. But I get the sense that he could probably benefit maybe from a different viewpoint or a different surroundings to try and improve himself in the NFL.
