Craig James on the other hand is a complete dirck. Last season after the NC was over and the panel on ESPN was picking preseason top 5's and many picked LSU. James scolded all of them and said no way LSU makes the top 20 this year.

During the preseason this was not that bad of a prediction. Looking at LSU's schedule prior to the year most logical people probably thought there was a good chance of LSU having 3 to 4 losses.

Neutral site Vs Oregon
At Mississippi State
At West Virginia
At Alabama

Very likely LSU would drop 2 or 3 of these games as well as a normal slip up against Ole Miss or Arkansas and a Florida team returning one of the better QBs in the league and a new head coach so no one really could predict how Florida would turn out but most thought they would be a pretty good team in the East.

The team was returning 2 ineffective quarterbacks so yeah I really don't think it was that bad of a prediction that LSU would not be in top 20. It doesn't mean that he hates LSU. It means he was trying to predict wins and losses LSU would have based on who they have coming back, who they were playing, and where they were playing those games.
