You'll have some idiots in here claiming only Bama, but probably the following:

Bama
tOSU
Michigan
Clemson
Wisconsin
USC
UF*

*They beat us with a ton of injured players. If healthy, LSU's mistakes won't be the reason they lost.

I just dont see wisconsin, usc, or florida being favored against lsu right now. Yeah sure, Wisconsin beat us the first game of the year, but we arent even remotely the same team that we were when we played them (in a good way). I know florida beat us too, however, everybody watching the florida game knows that lsu was the better team and controlled that game and had to frick up several times on offense inside the red zone for them to beat us...the game shouldn't have even came down to the last drive of the game when we drove all the way down the field and had it inside the 1 yardline and came up inches short because guice ran the wrong way. Lsu is a flatout better team than florida, wisconsin, and usc. That's how I see it, and anyone that actually knows football would agree if money was on the line. I am not saying that these teams couldn't beat lsu but if lsu played it's best football against any of those 3 teams best ball, lsu would win. We simply have more talent than them. Injuries happen in football buddy so your argument about floridas team health/injuries is irrelevant. Lsu has lost several players since spring ball as well.

Wisconsin's offense is significantly better now than their opening game.

USC is a complete team that has been as dominant as LSU including a road win against the #4 team, which LSU has nothing near comparison.

UF played a ton of injured players and LSU was basically healthy outside of Fournette. They likely heal up and will be at worst a slight favorite on a neutral site.

Again, LSU's only reason for people to think they are a top level team is not getting obliterated by Bama in a home game.

Rushing defenses LSU has faced:
Bama #1
Wisconsin #3
Auburn #20
UF #31
Southern Miss #44
MSU #69
A&M #75
Arkansas #95
Missouri #112
Ole Miss #120

LSU did not beat a single FBS team with a rush defense lowed than #69. Think about that.

Wisconsin's would shut down LSU, UF's won't be missing as many players, and USC is #30.

Tell me again how LSU is going to beat them with this team hands down?

They will be favored for that reason and that reason alone.
