Didn't catch the game but I believe LSU was using a converted WR as their QB or something like that?  What a wild end to the season.

LSU obviously didn't care about the game.

SEC teams that lose to OOC opponents--whether in the regular season or in bowl games--never cared about the game in the first place.  SEC teams that care always go undefeated.

Forgot to mention that the Big 12 went 5-2.

You're bagging on your own conference you know?  

LSU should be commended for playing the game with only 39 scholarship players.  It was a recipe for disaster for them, but they did it anyways.

1.  We're not there yet.
2.  I hope we don't adopt the habit of excusing every OOC loss with "we didn't care" or similar weak bleach.  "Our players didn't care about the game, or they went into the portal, or they got sick, or they opted out of the bowl game, or are leaving early for the NFL" is weak.  Even if/when those excuses are true, they are weak.
OTOH, I have to praise Oklahoma State.  They had 3 guys in the portal who stayed around and played in the Fiesta Bowl.  That says something good about the culture of the oSu program.
