Why do most people think AU has no chance against LSU
We have seen top rated teams go down on the road to lesser quality opponents.

It will happen this year. Which team will be on the tail end of the stick? Who knows.. But all on here predicting a blowout with LSU at AU should probably take a minute and realize:

Blowouts are not entertaining.

LSU hasnt won often in JHS and when they did it was on a great td pass by J Lee. Prior to that AU has held its own against LSU in JHS.

LSU has played 3 games 1 BCS opponent 2 weaker teams from small non competitive football teams.

LSU is young in some areas.
LSU has played all 3 games at Tiger Stadium .

Using last year as a measuring stick isnt the same. Prior to that AU won in JHS.
In 2009 AU got shell-shocked in TS.

ULM/MSU. Who knows how good these teams maybe, one is undefeated and the other has beaten an BCS team in their own house.

So here's to a good/competitive game on Saturday.

And my prediction.. TIGERS WIN!

I will say that JHS can't produce some weird fricked up games like the UF game in 2001

and

I agree with your point that "We have seen top rated teams go down on the road to lesser quality opponents."

That usually happens, however, when the underdog team is a team full of seniors and like 20 returning starters. As we all well know, this Auburn team is still very young. Also lacks leadership according to Pat Dye.
