Les Miles and LSU winning the NC in 2013 would be the most LSU thing since 2007. Everyone is projecting LSU to have a down year but typically this is when Les Miles is at his best

Spurrier has Jadeveon Clowney and 2 SEC-caliber QB's. If they can avoid their annual WTF loss and make it to the SEC Championship game, I see them holding up the last BCS trophy

I dont see any team making it out of the SEC undefeated which puts these two teams in great position to make a championship run. Which team would you be more surprised to see in the NC game?

LSU, because of who they would have to beat to get there. Very reminiscent of the 2011 season IMO.

LSU, USC has an easier schedule and a transformer at defensive end.

The first time SC ever wins a national title it'll be surprising.

Neither would be surprising

Both are at the top of their prospective divisions.

Really? Care to provide an example? I mean, I appreciate the optimism for LSU and all, but I just don't think this is true.

In 2007 we were preseason #2. In 2011 we were preseason #4. This just doesn't fit. When LSU is at its best, everybody knows we will be good.

The last time people were this down on LSU was heading into the 2009 season (after the abortion of a season that was 2008). Were we as bad as people thought? No. Did we even come close to winning the SEC, much less the NC? No, not even close.

You got one thing wrong (LSU was highly ranked in 07 and 11), though the point is valid. LSU does play better when expectations are low, we've always enjoyed being the underdog. This could be one of those years where we lose maybe only 2 games, though NC is a little too much to ask for. (but the LSU fan in me still believes)

Like you said most people predict him to have a down year

South Carolina, because they've never done it and traditionally have never even been close.

USC would be the most surprising in name only, but I would be absolutely shocked if LSU could go undefeated or even 1 loss considering they have very few proven stars returning and an absolute monster of an SEC schedule.

Lsu is down, South Carolina is suppose to have a peak year. That said it still South Carolina by a long shot.

A down year for LSU is 10-3. Miles has won AT LEAST 10 games in 6 of his first 8 seasons as a SEC head coach. It's literally never been done before in the SEC. He also has 5/8 11 wins seasons( I think).

If Bama doesn't go undefeated , then they have underachieved IMO. Now if Bama loses a game and still wins the BCSCG , then it doesn't matter. But if that one loss knocks Bama out of the BCSCG, IMO it's an underachieving season for Bama.
Bama plays 2 good SEC teams with a bye week before A&M and LSU. They should be double digit favorites for the rest of their games.
