yeah they're not a title contender


I don't think people understand the concept of title contention... This early, many teams would be in contention (due to the fact that noone has any losses and the ?s to be answered). As teams lose or people realize the answers to the ?s weren't answered in a positive way, there would be less contenders.

You can't "not be a contender now" but could be later... That makes no sense. If you don't think it's possible to contend now, then there's no way to think they can contend at a later date.

I know what you're saying, but you also know what we're saying. It's not expected that LSU will be contending for the title in Week 12. But it wouldn't be the biggest shock, either. So no, they're not a title contender. But could they gel during the year and work into contention? Sure, it's possible.
