This is legit hype. 2009 was pretty crazy but Snead went off the deep in after his girl cheated on him and it was a disaster of a year. RIP Snead :(

Honestly I would start us down in the 20s.

Replacing a heisman QB and top WR combined with a putrid defense the last few years. I'm a believer in Nuss and think Baker will turn it around, but I have to see it first before I think about putting LSU that high.

Let's just have 6 SEC teams in the playoffs. Then the winner can at least say they had the potential to play approximately 1/3 of an SEC schedule.

Show me any evidence of any SEC team playing 6 of the top 13 ranked teams where those 6 are in the SEC.




LSU had 7 wins over Top 10 teams on its way to an undefeated season in 2019.

I do not see how they can rank Georgia ahead of Ohio State. Beck could not handle Alabama's defense and Ohio State's defense is stacked.

Because Beck had a better season last year, than Ohio States coming QB did? And Georgia's defense is better than Ohio States? There's two good reasons.

Howard Will?

Swap Tennnee and OU. OU is favored in that game and should win anyways

Swap LSU for Tennessee and Oklahoma, because your coach is way overrated, and you're just not that good.

Preseason rankings don’t mean much. What they’re ranked when you play them is what counts. I’d bet it’s happened numerous times. Much more than getting 6 or 7 ranked during the season.

Every single year half of the preseason top 10 don’t finish there.

This year i say that’s Oregon, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Missou.

He was good VS average teams but not so good VS Alabama.

I doubt it. Ohio State is loaded on defense.

Howard will be much improved surrounded by Ohio State's offense. But some are picking Sayin to start.

So. Alabama. That's the one game you wnat to pick? And Howard Will. Who was he weak against?

We think this could be our best defense of the Kirby Smart era. So, yes. Better than Ohio States. If you don't think Georgia is loaded then you haven't been paying attention.

Some...so you think a true freshman will be better than a 5th year senior who has been in the system all 5 years?

Dude.
