This is a "moment"...?

23/34 (67%), 234 yds, 6.9 avg, 0 TDs, 0 Ints, 70.9 QBR


Against one of the greatest secondaries in CFB history, on THAT stage, in LSU's own backyard? When his #1 WR got hurt in the first half, and his best weapons were a H-Back and RB? Yeah, that was the "moment" that opened everyone's eyes to AJ.

Top 10 Comments
1. FSU: win or lose the BCS Title they will have a lot of talent returning.They won't have an easy OOC schedule though. Notre Dame, Ok state and a possibly resurging Florida Team is a huge upgrade to the current one.
2. Bama: As long as there new QB doesn't completely suck they are fine at this spot. QBs are plug & play at Bama.
3. Auburn : I think there placement in the 2014 preseason poll will come down to how well the do in the Championship Game.
6. Michigan State: Better watch out for these boys. If they ever get an offense they will be serious contenders.
10. UCF: BYU, Penn State, Missouri... Can't say they didn't try to schedule tough OOC competition

Rank 11-25
12. Texas A&M : there is no reason for them to be ranked this high even if JFF came back. I do find it funny that Baylor is now the class of Texas now with inferior talent to Texas and A&M.
16. USC: Typical USC Biased. They have a new coach and a ton of Sanctions. Why are they ranked again.
17/18: Clemson & Georgia: Both of them are going to have a lot of Question marks next year and we won't know how they are until conference play starts.
18/19: Missouri and Arizona St: Non-Traditional Powers tend get screwed in these pre-season polls.
22. Notre Dame: Unofficial ACC now. A decent team but I feel they lack consistency.They have Stanford, USC, and Arizona State ; In addition, to FSU and Louisville in the ACC. They better find it fast.
23. Florida: they can't be worse than last year ,but this might be a bit of Traditional Football power biased. They do have the talent to justify being this high. The only reason i'm not to mad about this is because after rank 20 anyone can be here.

Bama too high, they should not be ranked in the top five. After the bowls I think they drop

It's the process.

Alabama's final AP rankings since 2008:

2008 - 6
2009 - 1 (New QB)
2010 - 10
2011 - 1 (New QB)
2012 - 1
2013 - 3ish (if they win their bowl game)

A couple of lost "field generals" on both sides of the ball mixed in there.

There is no reason we should be lower than 15th to start with.


Parkas isn't worth arguing with bro. I guess the only team who is worthy of going to an NC with a new qb is Auburn. Its almost like he doesn't realize the teams he is bashing so much came within 1 lucky play of embarrasing Auburn. See GA and Bama.

Well, that's what happens when you cheat. Which is the only reason you did so well to begin with.

Why do we keep getting ranked so highly? Does no one realize we're gonna have like maybe 50 scholarship players?!?! Probably less?

It just sets us up for failure, then everyone gets to say, see USC sucks. No, we just have half the scholarship players our opponents do.
Sucks to suck, brah.

"I do find it funny that Baylor is now the class of Texas now with inferior talent to Texas and A&M."

It's because they play in CRAP conference with 1-2 better than average teams.

I agree though #12 might be a tad high for A&M but as the talent level (especially on D) continues to build, then top 10 rankings every year will be the norm.
ALso, without Johnny's freelancing, the offense might actually resemble what SUmlin has always had in mind and what we haven't seen as much of this year.

OBVIOUSLY losing a talent like Manziel will hurt, but maybe not quite as bad as some think. Manziel put us ahead of the curve, but the overall team will be getting better.
