Trying to hype up "Texas is back" by having them at 7.

LSU at 12 is funny.

quote:

12. LSU

Tigers 2018 record: 10-3, 5-3

SEC First 2019 Way-Too-Early rank: 10

Returning starters: eight offense, seven defense, one special teams

Key losses: CB Greedy Williams, LB Devin White, DT Ed Alexander, CB Terrence Alexander, G Garrett Brumfield, TE Foster Moreau, RB Nick Brossette, K Cole Tracy

Outlook: The Tigers took a few steps forward in coach Ed Orgeron's second full season, winning 10 games and beating UCF 40-32 in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl. The big question heading into the spring, besides replacing two of their best players on defense, is whether quarterback Joe Burrow can continue to develop. He should improve with a full offseason under his belt. Orgeron hired New Orleans Saints assistant Joe Brady to coach receivers and serve as passing game coordinator. The Tigers will have to replace Brossette, who ran for 1,039 yards with 14 touchdowns last season. Incoming freshman John Emery, the No. 1 running back in the ESPN 300, might get the first crack at replacing him. LSU will also undoubtedly miss White and Williams, but early enrollee Derek Stingley Jr., the No. 1 cornerback in the ESPN 300, might be LSU's next great defensive back. The Tigers play a nonconference game at Texas on Sept. 7 and also play at Alabama on Nov. 9. -- M.S.

More starters returning than most everyone they are ranking ahead of us, yet they are projecting us to FINISH WORSE than we did this year. Nice.

The Georgia hype is almost as bad as Texas.

Had to edit, cause I was initially quoting you and you gave them too much credit on the LSU ranking.

You know you’re gonna be stacked when a “Key Loss” is Terrace Alexander.

This also shows us ESPN remains retarded.

BS to have Texas ranked ahead of us but whatever doesn’t matter that early in the season. Hopefully they’re dumb enough to put UT in top 5, a better win for us.

Schlabaugh consistently and historically ranks us lower than everyone else in his offseason lists.

because of his past HC record he hasn’t earned a lot of trust yet. Hopefully he earns it after this year

We can begin the season at 12 and as long as we win, we'll end up where we need to be b/c of who we have to play in our conference.

We will begin ranked inside the top 10 when the official poll comes out. I’m telling you, Schlabach always does this.
