re: SI: Post Spring Preseason Top 25

So how can LSU be overrated because of how much we lose on defense and Bama not be overrated?

Because y'all lost more at crucial positions.

Bama lost:

ILB Nico Johnson
CB Dee Milliner
DE Damion Square
S Robert Lester
NT Jesse Williams

The only key positions that they lost were a CB and a NT. The rest are relatively easy to replace. Nico was already losing snaps, Square is a replaceable type talent, Lester peaked as a soph. plus has Collins or Sunseri behind him.

LSU Lost:

DE Keke Mingo
DT Bennie Logan
DE Sam Montgomery
DE Lavar Edwards
LB Kevin Minter
S Eric Reid
CB Tharold Simon

That's 3 DE's, the best LB, and the top 2 in the secondary.
