Good thing the media's not playing the game.

They've been right several years now. And every year LSU fans get defensive, only to find out it the predictions were pretty valid 3 months later.

@ Emanresu they'll learn sooner or later. Well...maybe not.

Perfect! Now with lowered expectations LSU can relax and win it all!

Georgia gets so overhyped every single season.

Bulletin Board material for Coach O. Nobody believes in him or his ability to win. Prove the haters, both LSU fans and the rest of the country, wrong!

So Tennessee will finish ahead of USCe but will not finish in the SEC standings?

That looked weird to me too. The division order is a regular ranking of the 7 teams with weighted points. But the SEC Champion list is just one vote each for the overall winner. USCe, Vandy, and Arkansas each had one vote. I don't think that champion list works very well as the consensus for the "overall" finish.

Frick auburn. They beat us on a fluke last year. Won't happen again

So this is saying we go 10-2 and win at Florida but lose to Auburn at home? I am not buying Auburn.

UGA ranked too high. This poll loses credibility instantly placing UGA at #3 overall.

I don't have a problem with this. It's an improvement from under Miles.

I'm so tired of the Auburn love. They're like USC. Every year they get hyped and do squat. Last year they beat us by a tenth of a second because of horrendous coaching, this year they're breaking in a new QB. We will throttle Auburn this year. Will we finish first? Don't know, but we're better than third in the west.

Auburn is breaking in a new QB but that QB is a beast

Why Auburn? Seems to be the trendy pick this year. Even heard a few talking heads predict Auburn over Bama...

Because Stidham is a beast. That kid is good
user avatar
Datbayoubengal81 months
Because they got the great QB that we missed out on. Stidham would have instantly made us a playoff favorite.

Seems pretty understandable. I believe LSU is better than UGA, but they do play in the Easy East.

We said the same thing about Wisconsin and UF last year. LSU fans are way too cocky despite having zero reasons to be.

Just hoping somebody beats Bama. I can count on LSU losing 3-5 games. It worry Bama will win them all. Here's to bus wrecks

That came out wrong due to autocorrect.
