....and the other half pick LSU.

So what?

Who cares?

I honestly don't understand the obsession some of you have with 'experts' who pick either for, or against, LSU.

When those people start suiting up in P&G, that's when I'll care about their opinions.

How convenient. They get a rise out of LSU and MSU fans. You know what they say about opions anyhow.

some people choose to have their self worth tied directly to another persons opinion.

Good. I wish they had all picked MSU.

Any of you guys notice how, the last couple years, we played our best, most complete game against Alabama?

Note that for the other games being played for those teams ranked lower than LSU and also playing an unranked team, most of them pick the favorite.

Tom O'Toole is aptly named to be on that panel.

Jesus.

I'm a college football fan. I though it was interesting/thread worthy. It would always surprise me if columnists picked an unranked (1-1) team over the #12 team in the coaches poll at home.

Feel free to avoid my obsessive threads in the future.

Its funny how everyone that picks against LSU is a "fricking tool" and everyone that picks LSU is a "fricking genius".

I love my LSU football, but face it, there are legit reasons to pick MSU.

I would say its in LSU's favor 55/45 and thats because of home field advantage.

We have much more talent but I think they are better coached. It honestly could go either way. It is what it is....

The experts that pick LSU to lose arent trying to piss us off personally, they just honestly think we will lose. So what? We could!

In the end, I think talent wins out and we win ugly by the hair of our teeth. (3 to 7 pts)

Again, it is what it is..

I knew what duality meant when I posted the question. Evidently you need to review (hint: context is important)

Some of these Jackwagons missed 5 games last week ! Hardly impressive. Besides, with only a handful of competitve games this week in the top 25, they are limited to which games they feel safe picking an upset. Lastly, F em.

Not so fast. For example, look at the Stanford vs Wake game. All 10 "experts" are picking Stanford, yet Stanford's power ranking is 40 and Wake's is 48. Conversely, LSU's is 9 and MSU is 62! Seems like bias to me.
