UGa will not finish #1. They may finish in the top 10.

LSU will finish between 10-15.

Mizzou will lose 3 games and not finish in the top 10.

Ohio State may finish #3 but they are overrated

Clemson will not finish that high.

Without a proven leader at QB, with Miles still at the helm, I bet they lose 3-4 games. Flynn, Hester, Steltz, Dorsey, those guys were leaders with heart. BIG losses. I like LSU, but I don't think, nor have a I ever thought, Les Miles was a good coach. But you cannot argue with a National Title, even though his players were basically all NFL caliber. Larry Coker also won a Title you know.

Still, I think you see LSU at 8-4 about No. 20 in the country towards the end. Sorry Stallion.

so I'll say a few things and leave you with it.

The same people that talk about Carroll being a solid QB in the SEC

What's that got to do with anything? He can be solid. As solid as he wants to be.

They may have the best OL and DL in the nation...they are loaded at RB and WR...very good at TE...

They were even better last year and lost 2 games. Almost lost a couple more. You act like high school rated talent alone is all that matters. You should know better.

Anybody like you Bi-polar that wants to praise Crooms for the way he handled Carroll last year as a true freshmens and how he performed, cant possibly bash LSU and their 4-star QB who is in his 3rd year in college btw...

Speculate much? Lots of QB's, regardless of star rating, take time to develop. Happen to catch Stafford's first year at Georgia? They lost to Vanderbilt. Anthony Morelli? Vince Young? Lee's in his 2nd year of college by the way.

Now, they may lose 3 games because they play @Auburn, and then @Fla, @SC, and home against Georgia in a row...but it wont be because they are over-rated

Nice contradiction.

Come on, I expected better than that. The least you could do is talk about LSU, you know, the team I mentioned, without having to bring up MSU and bash them to attempt to prove a point.

about this topic. Of course, I probably wouldn't have either.
Last I heard, that "4-star" QB wasn't playing well enough to beat the walk-on. Hardly awe-inspiring.
By the way, we have a 4-star QB too. He's second string.
All the talent in the world with no QB can't win games- just ask Charlie Weiss.

"Their schedule may do them in."
That's exactly what I've been saying. We should start calling you john kerry.

You think at #6 they're not overrated?? 17ing #6?

i knew you would be responding anyways since LSU was named as overrated in the orginal article.

too bad state wasn't ranked so that you could call us overrated due to the lack of offense. then you would have been able to fight both of your more common battles at the same time.

overrated according to this poll. I'm convinced Miles is a good coach, but they have lost 2 games every year he's been there. Last year they lost to two average SEC teams and won many close ones (Auburn, Bama, UF). I just don't think LSU will finish as high as ranked here. They do have an inexperienced QB and lost some serious leadership from last year's team. It might not matter because they are loaded with talent.

I think another thing that is about to happen to them is a post-BCS Championship hangover. I really could see them losing four games, especially with either a Fr. or a walk-on at QB. They can outman some teams- like State- but when it comes to teams that have similar talent, the instability at QB could do them in. Now, the Fr. QB may step up, but even guys like Matt Stafford have had growing pains in the SEC.

Also, you have to think that LSU probably used all of their good fortune up last year- like making the BCS title game after losing to Arkansas, beating Auburn where they basically won on a ball that they just threw up in the air, and beating the officials at Bama, and of course, having an easy draw with an overrated Ohio State team in New Orleans.
