re: Why is LSU ranked so high by the media? I don’t get it

Honestly I was wondering the same thing before the preseason all sec came out. I guess they assume they automatically have talent to compete but doesn't make sense to hype them up that much after losing alot of their star players. We will see in sept if LSU is worth the hype because obviously preseason polls mean nothing. Lookat last year with Florida and Texas in top 5. Who finished at the top?
