Not much love for our Tigers
I usually don't care what people think, but some of these are hilarious.

Seeing as you put experts in parenthesis, I'm guessing they didn't have nice things to say about LSU? The end is nigh!

The morons have Vadal all SEC guard when he's not even playing there.

CBS hates LSU

How can a team be most "overrated" if everybody thinks they suck?

Most overrated team: LSU. Les Miles had 10 games against Power Five competition in 2015 and won just one -- vs. Kentucky, at home -- by more than six points. The back seven is beastly, and running back Leonard Fournette's a Heisman Trophy candidate-in-waiting, but until the broken passing game is repaired -- and what evidence do we have it will be? -- this isn't an SEC West contender.

Most overrated team: LSU. I think the Tigers are a top-30 team thanks to a really strong defense, particularly in the back seven, and one of the most punishing rushing attacks led by Fournette and a stout offensive line. But a top-15 team? No sir. The lack of a persistent pass rush last season concerned me even more than quarterback instability. Until the Tigers reaffirm their place as one of the league’s sack leaders and get their passing attack in gear, I’m going to doubt their place in the polls.

I see why people are low on LSU. No passing game and a weak pass rush doesn't mix for championship seasons.
I just happen to think however that the pass rush will be improved and Harris will be able to be efficient enough for LSU to be very dangerous.

Our team can use it as a challenge to prove that the "experts" have no clue!

Stopped reading at "experts"

I don't see LSU's logo on prediction page. I see a tiger with the letters LSU below it but since that is not LSU's logo I don't know what college that is.

All of this means the same thing as being ranked #1 right now would, nothing.

You don't have to be an expert or a hater for that matter to suggest that we will struggle if we can't figure out how to incorporate an effective passing game into our offense.
If we don't it will be difficult to be a top 15 team.
Personally I believe we will with Harris but while I don't agree with the comments in that piece, they are fair.

That's pretty brutal
Out of the 7 CBS guys:
- Nobody picked us 1st or 2nd in our division
- Only 2 picked us 3rd in our own division
- 4 picked us 5th or 6th in our own division
Texas A&M with highest variance, one guy picked them 2nd, another dead last. Actually Ole Miss is the same, picked 2nd by one and 7th by another.

The one thing that every expert seems to gloss over is the fact that while LSU did struggle at quarterback last year the offense had a freshman running back and a highly inexperienced receiving corps. If there's even 20 percent growth at QB, coupled with the maturation of the other positions, this offense will be improved.
Maybe this team will flop like it seems many experts are predicting but there was far more uncertainty going into last season.

......what? This is laughable. Beyond laughable. How could they be so wrong??
Eta: read this wrong. Thought it said we only one 1 game against power 5 teams. I'm sorry.

If Harris is the QB, LSU is underrated.
