Their losses are no different than Alabama losing 3 starting OL and 5 defensive starters. It just seems really bad because of the number of juniors.

Biggest issue for LSU will be leadership on defensive side of the ball, but talent will still be evident. In fact they remind me of the 2010 Alabama team.

We should be an easy win for teams next year. No need to worry.

So any team that loses to the 2013 LSU Tigers would be considered _ _ _ _ ?

What 18 starters? And do you people think lsu hasn't been recruiting top ten talent. We played 17 freshman this year.

Offense will be marginally better, Defense will be very good, not quite up to this years' though. I'm actually more optimistic about 2013 than 2012.

Mel Kiper is known for his player projections in the NFL draft. However he is not known for being much of an expert on college football itself.

Yeah, I'm sure all of those teams are 10-3 teams and a few plays away from being undefeated...... in the fricking SEC.

We lose a ton but the starting CBs and S played a ton of meaningful snaps in big games. We played 7 LBs throughout the season. We also rotate DL more than most so next years starters won't be SEC gun shy. The biggest question is LT. If Faulk wouldn't have been hurt this year he would've left anyway so we'd still be looking for a guy to step up. The 2 FR that stepped up on the right side last year tells me we'll be ok. This team has talent. I can't believe so many people are already counting LSU out.

I'd go along with the sarcasm if we were actually losing 18 starters. I think we're losing about 8 to 9 on both sides combined. Close, though . Look, I'm still worried about next year but get your facts straight and don't be a douche when you don't.

Which is a bigger loss? Losing Fluker, Millner and Lacey or Mingo, Montgomery and Minter?

Why did you leave out Reid and Simon?

And your NFL left tackle?

LSU will be fine, team will be different but that could work out better anyway.
