CBS Sports writer Dennis Dodd, along with Tom Fornelli, Ben Kercheval, Barrett and Sallee all picked LSU as their most "overrated team" in the SEC for the 2017 season.

Here's what they had to say:
quote:

Most overrated team:

LSU: Ed Orgeron's honeymoon will last until the final whistle of the first game LSU loses that it's not supposed to. And that will happen at some point. We know Orgeron was a popular -- but second -- choice. There are significant quarterback issues in a league that is getting at that position. Arden Key is a monster but has undergone at least one surgery in the offseason. There's a hiccup for the Tigers out there somewhere. How ugly will it get when it happens? -- Dennis Dodd (and Tom Fornelli, Ben Kercheval, Barrett Sallee)
The other teams that CBS thought were "overrated" in the SEC were Tennessee, Florida and Texas A&M.

However, the Vols and the Aggies were also in their "underrated" list along with Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Arkansas.

Three CBS Writers projected LSU to finish 3rd in the SEC West, one predicted No. 2 finish and another had the Tigers finishing at 4th in the Western Division.

Since most people outside of CBS have us pegged for 3rd in the SEC, and now most of CBS writers have us at that same spot, doesn't that mean we are...accurately rated?

Someone inform the team, looks like there is no reason to play the season. I mean the media generally gets all of this correct right?

Media always gets it right. That's why HRC is our president.

That Stidham dude must be really good. He has made LSU the most overrated school since Auburn 2017.

Good. Pick A&M, Alabama and Ole Miss every week for that shitty 2:30 kickoff time

Lol. Have these idiots even bothered to look at the level of talent LSU has. Not to mention the coaching staff? The only team that is even close to Alabama, and they have us picked 3rd in the West. What a joke!

3rd in the West is about right so I don't understand the overrated part. Most sane people are predicting a 9-3 season.

Dodd is a Pac 10 homer who doesn't now the SEC past basic stats. And it's not like LSU fans are going into this season thinking that we will run the table with the most difficult away schedule in the nation to begin with. We will be very cool with a 2nd place SEC west finish this year.

So basically they picked us to finish about the same place as everyone else did but we are overrated?

Fortunately for us, this is just someone's opinion. In reality, we have a relatively large window in terms of where we will finish. We could finish anywhere from 12-0 to 8-4. If things really don't go our way maybe 7-5, but I think we will finish 10-2 or 9-3. Either way, we are ranked #13. The two biggest factors, I think.. is starting the season with a new HC and questions at QB, but I think our offense will define our season. We can only improve in terms of production.. Can it improve enough to get us over the top? It's possible. Dodd's opinion means very little.

@MSU @Tenn @Ole Miss @Florida @Alabama What a bunch of panty wastes to make that kind of prediction. It's easy to say overrated when you look at this schedule and predict a loss. Geaux Tigers! Welcome Mike VII.
