College football world gushes at LSU’s dominant performance in SEC title game

From Paul Finebaum to Kirk Herbstreit, and fans across the SEC and college football world, LSU’s dominant performance in the SEC Championship Game certainly drew many accolades.
But in this day and age of college football, winning is not the only thing to focus on. With LSU gunning for the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff over Ohio State, the Tigers needed a lopsided win over Georgia.
Two awards that had trended in their direction appeared to be confirmed, as Finebaum noted, for Ed Orgeron to win National Coach of the Year, and QB Joe Burrow the Heisman Trophy winner. Burrow’s 71-yard pass to Justin Jefferson clinched the Heisman in many people’s minds with that play.
Here’s a collection of the reaction:
Congratulations to LSU on winning the SEC title. Just voted for Joe Burrow for Heisman and Ed O should be National Coach of Year. Incredible season. #GeauxTigers

Is Georgia going to have anyone left to finish this game? Lawd they are a mass unit and LSU is so dang efficient.

Is it recency bias or could LSU-Clemson be the most hyped CFP semifinal so far?

1.LSU 2.OSU 3.Clemson 4.Oklahoma. Going into the BIG Championship. @FOXSports all the Buckeyes need to do is win by 65 or better and they’re back on top.
