He's a good coach, but he's not top 3-5.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bama was ahead of y'all in 2010 BCS polls? Three way tie breaker between lsu, bama, and Arkansas goes to the highest bcs ranked...

Wouldn't have been a tie because Bama and LSU would have been 6-2 SEC while Arkansas would have been 7-1. Of course, had Newton not been at Auburn, Bama and LSU would have probably beat them too and it would be a tie.

Somehow I knew this thread would turn into a flame war. Call it a sixth sense?

It's the off-season. What did you expect?

The time between the Super Bowl and March Madness is the slowest part of the year for sports in general.

I don't see their D being as dominant as last year, maybe close to the same, but definitely not better statistically. They lose some bad LBs, but will their new LBs be developed to the point that they can play in the SEC? They'll always have a good D-Line.

no

Neither Bama or LSU would have lost to Auburn that year either and with a 3 way tie Bama would have been SEC and National Champs.

Idk about all that but here's a fun fact....

4 out of the last 5 national champs have had first year starters at QB (including the last 3). So all this talk about Mett (and LSU) having problems because he's a first year starter in the SEC doesn't seem to make much sense.

If not for Karnell Hatcher, LSU would have taken care of Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl.

I think they will be better statistically just because the schedule will be easier and instead of Oregon and West Virginia, they will be playing Idaho and Towson and the like. However, I think the secondary takes a small step back by losing Claiborne, and the LB's take a small step forward. D-line and Special Teams will be as good as ever. Probably not as good as last year's team but absolutely talented enough to win it all next year.

That's true I guess - really only Cam Newton was a game changer among the last few QBs of BCS NCG winners... of course LSU of last year shows that you can lose it if your QB is not even average
