LSU has lost at least 3 games 4 years in a row.

As far as I can tell, they still don't have a QB.

They have uncertainty surrounding their head coach and have had two different DC's in 2 years, among other things.

How are they undoubtedly a top 10 team? Recruiting rankings?

This. LSU has benefitted from a hype machine all summer. There was nothing about this team that says top 10 that they have done ON THE FIELD. Unless they have added beef in the middle and gotten much stronger and improved their special teams not to mention the QB's decision making ability, they have done zero to be a top 10.
Now they will tell you that Harris is much better now that he has "experience", Miles has changed and will open up the playbook ( which would take carries away from Fournette) and that they have the best RB tandem in college football. Don't agree that tandem is best. Fournette has shown flashes of brilliance. I'm not sure what the other kid has done to merit their accolades. Aranda is a Buddy Ryan clone that will field the best defense mankind has ever witnessed even though they were small, weak and very bad with technique. If they addressed these issues and corrected them, cool, but if they didnt....

I'm with you so far.
