Not even close

Of course I want us to win, but to suggest this game is of any real importance (or any more importance than any other game against a fairly highly ranked team) is short-sighted.

This is a very important game but, I really don't think one of the most important in 116 years.

I know of four games in the last four years that was more important than this one.

To quote an NFL player who said..."if the Super Bowl is the ultimate game. Why do we play it again every year..." Same with this "most important game" for now.

I agree that the next game is always the most important, the question took a more historical view. In that context, this game has moderate significance win or lose. It will help or hinder next season's preparations only somewhat either way. It will potentially impact the decisions of a few recruits, which will also have some short term impacts.
Where this game may have a larger impact relates to where the program is right now. We are on the cusp of taking steps forward, but we are not quite there. A win over LSU may or may not be what gets us over the hump. Personally, I think it will take a little more. I also think that Dabo is building a solid foundation and building the program up gradually. IMO, games against LSU tomorrow and UGA to kick off next season can help speed up that process.

No. There's been lots of games like that.

For one, the Cotton Bowl win over BC started a golden age of Tiger football in the 40's and 50's.
The huge win over Ohio State in 1978.
The big wins over UGA, UNC, and Nebraska in 1981.
The UGA wins in 1986 and 1987.
The big wins last year over Auburn, FSU, and VTX2.
It is a big game but it is not the biggest in 116 years.

important games..NOW. Yes, I understand there have been scores & scores of important games (at that time)...and at this time it's one of the most important games in the last 116 years since it shows us where we are as to the SEC which is the premier conference.
If we can't compete with the SEC, then we won't be successful to the point of getting to the NC game..since you have to go through them almost every year..as Notre Dame will find out soon.
GoTiGERs!

I expect us to compete and if we execute at a high level we will beat LSU.

Didn't say it was THE MOST IMPORTANT...just 1 of the most

important games in the last 116 years...mainly since it gives us a great gage to see if we've improved since the SC loss...and because we will have to go through this best conference in the country (SEC) in the future to get to where we want to go...the NC game.
Just saying...Go Çlemson TiGERs!

It's a bowl game,a chance to end the season on a winning note.Our football program will go on,but this game is no more ,or less important than the opener against UGA next season and definitely less important than taking care of business next season down in Columbia.
