re: CFN: LSU vs Alabama Roundtable

I like CFN and I sort of see the points made in the article but it makes a LOT more sense to me to look first to the personnel each team loses and then look to the specific personnel each team has to replace those individuals. When you undertake this seemingly more straightforward analysis, LSU looks to many to be a shade stronger going into the season. Also, it seems like a reach to rely on recruiting rankings and Bama being "better most years" while ignoring how evenly the teams have played each other or the fact that LSU has won two of the last three.
