The only reason they are ranked higher than us is because of the NS love fest. If he were coaching LSU with the same players we have now, LSU would be ranked higher. We did beat a good Bama team last year and we will be better than last year also. Bama will be good on defense so will LSU. Its a preseason poll and thats where NS gets his advantage for now. Once the games are played things will be different. Go Tigers.

Wait...I thought the national media hated Saban because he was a liar and an a-hole? When did things change?

I do not believe this ... Alabama has been overlooked by the polls in the past (rated and consistently delivered better than expected results) and now the polls have caught up with their performance and have them near the top, much of it hype about Saban. It's a "cyclical" event

For now yes ... but here's the catch

In this century, Alabama has NEVER delivered when they were ranked #1 or # 2 to start the season.

WHY?

... You fricking tell me and we'll both know

Saban is better at being the underdog than delivering a NC when he's "expected" to do so.

2011 will be no different.

Will Alabama will be # 1 or # 2 in the AP preseason poll ... I hope so ...

It's the kiss of phucking Death for Alabama

Read those poll results ... Championships go through Baton Rouge, breaux!

2011 will be no different. Only LSU beats LSU.

And all these ckskrs in here ... they're in the Champions Forum ... sniffin" to get a whiff of greatness
