re: LSU is the premier program in college football right now

Why is talent being argued? It's irrelevant to the OP, which is delusional. LSU is one of the premier programs, but there are other schools with just as much fan support nationally

---

LSU > Alabama at OL, WR, DL, TE. Tie at CB, S

Eric Reid and Craig Loston are both top caliber SEC safetys already, as is Brandon Taylor. They haven't reached super-stardom yet and both of Bama's safeties will go into the year with more prestigious reputations than our own.


Us LSU fans all think this, but like most LSU fans... you've seen every big play TM7 and Claiborne have made and you don't think that other schools have players out there doing the same thing. Claiborne is going to be the only first-team preseason all sec player @ LSU. Let me explain this to you: According to people who watch all the teams in the SEC, theres a better player at every position except CB in the SEC.

Seriously people. LSU is loaded with talent. Our defense is amazing, but a lot of this has to do with Chavis as well.

You can take whatever angle you want, but Bama has the 'highest rated' players in the country. The difference is so small between us, bama, florida, and some other schools in the sec year to year that it really does come down to who plays better that day, and who has the better gameplan.

Also, as for the DL statement. Bama only plays 3 DL at a time... learn the difference between defensive schemes dude.

Finally, everyone just remember what we said to Auburn about Nick Fairly and how he was probably nothing compared to Drake Nevis. Fairly and Marcell Darius both finished with way better years and as higher ranked defensive lineman than Drake. Drake is an amazing player though, but just remember, this is the SEC and there is plenty of talent to go around.
