They closed horribly last year. It's quite evident that without Edwards they lose against a meager MSU team. (MSU) They got destroyed by a mobile QB in the first half, then mostly just a rushing attack in the second. ( OSU) They get destroyed in every aspect of The Game. (UT) And then they cannot adjust their D to stop the obvious threat, and later claim they were focusing on stopping Benson, who was probably hurt all game.
Good work coaches. Maybe you should put auburn up there too?

Coaches, you mean.
It hardly matters who's ranked where though. These things have a way of working themselves out. I say let OSU fly "under the radar" We find it absurd to be #9, but then, we follow OSU a crap load closer than Steve Spurrier does - and rumor is he gave Duke a vote.

I understand they have a very favorable schedule with only 4 away games and the toughest of those being at Bama, but still, the Tigers have to get over new staff growing pains to defeat Arizona St and Tennessee in weeks 2 and 3...then travel to Mississippi St in week 4 for a definite trap game.
I was thinking LSU should have been 9-11...

Call me crazy, but I like being right where we are. We won a national championship a few years ago starting off the year ranked #13. We have no where to go but up from here, and there's no doubt people will see how good this team is when we beat Texas and Iowa out of the gate. This team (as we all know) has NO trouble getting media attention, and we will get all we can handle after we beat Texas in the "showdown of the year". Don't worry fellas- we're where we wanna be

I'm with Oiler on this one, actually.
What Les Miles does with Saban's talent is unknown, but LSU could be really damn good. I ran this spreadsheet thingy based on their returning players and schedule etc and they ended up #2. I don't think they're number 2, as my spreadsheet didn't take in to account intangibles, but I'd say they are legit top 5 at leats to start the show.

That year, of course #13 Mo C had a hell of a year. Look out for Donte Whittner!
