Auburn, they have the best DC in the country and they don't have to play their offense.

LSU, regardless of the 3 DC hires, LSU has a disgusting amount of talent on D for next year.

I would say probably LSU because of talent.

Sir. Please clarify your affiliation. We are keeping a tally of the number of corndog-sessed threads on the 6 most recent pages of the Rant. Right now A&M is in the lead with 19.

Thank you.

If any of these guys can turn these train wrecks around in a year, they will have earned their substantial salaries. That being said, LSU seems the most likely, followed by Aubren.

Defense and A&M should not be used in the same sentence

1. A&M
2. Auburn
3. LSU

LSU will only rank above State in the division as far as defense is concerned.

Probably not TAMU, but it doesn't have to be. We can score enough to get by with an average defense.

Tough to say. I can tell you which will be improved and which will be in decline though.

LSU statistically, by a big margin. Be objective and consider the entire team, and there's really no other answer. LSU will sit on the ball and soak up time of possession, and will keep the score low. Auburn and A&M will move fast and score more points. If all 3 teams are equal on talent (and LSU looks to have the edge there too btw), then LSU faces less possessions on defense, against an opponent less pressured to score.

Two of those are going to be unpleasantly surprised by no improvement.

Even if Peveto were DC, LSU would have a better defense than AU or aTm in 2015.

Gee, that's such a hard decision. Let's see; how about going with LSU was better this year and should be much improved with all the young talent that played this season becoming grown ups. Yeah, we'll go with that. Defensive schemes don't make great defenses without great talent.

A&M does not need to get to 1,2, 3, 4 or 5. Getting to even just 6th in the SEC is a major improvement for us. We ought to be able to score points so I will take a 6 or 7 for the defense next year. Gladly.

The real question is what happens if the LSU D slips to 3 or 4? Didn't do jack shite with the 1 this year. If you guys stay at the top on defense it might not help. OFFENSE was your problem. If your D slides at all, the OFFENSIVE problems are even more exaggerated.

Ags made a major upgrade at DC as did Auburn. LSU had no real upgrade to make on defense.

A&M's defense will be the greatest defense in SEC history. They have Chavis now. Amiright???
