Only 2 teams in all of college football get to play for the MNC. Voters can be unpredictable and LSU was there last year which may hurt if we do lose during the regular season - even if we win our conference and the SEC championship AGAIN!

One thing is for sure: THIS IS THE BEST ERA OF LSU FOOTBALL EVER! Amazing that we are very, very seriously chatting about going to BCS championship game 2 years in a row! AWESOME! Ready for Sept.

-Offense improves, but not enough to offset the loss of Claiborne and Brockers on defense (and perhaps the inexperienced LB corps needs another year).

-Injuries to the OL

-Mississippi State is much improved and eeks out a close win

-Arkansas is sound enough to overcome the Petrino Crash

-Bama finds a replacement for TR (or at least his production) and rolls again

If we come out flat in one game and things just don't seem to bounce our way and lose a game we shouldn't.

It could keep us out if there are some undefeated teams.

If the D doesn't gell.

I don't have any worries about the O, and Mett doesn't really have a lot to do with it.
LSU will grind and pound teams into submission, making them pray they were facing the 2011 Tigers.

Mett might throw some costly picks against Bama. Saban will bring a ton of pressure.
Even though Crowton wasn't a good fit here. He averaged 28.6 points against Saban he seemed to match up with Saban really well. I have zero confidence in Stud and Miles putting together a effective gameplan against Saban.

Georgia will also be hungry and even better if we make it to the SECCG.

As long as Miles don't go in the dead zone like he does some times, I think we have a good shot! I think some of u are underestimating Mett. He is the real deal, just needs to get a couple of games under his belt. I fear poor coaching more than anything else.

I'll preface this with LSU is very deserving of #1, but if there are weak spots:

On D:

- Replacing the DB coach and two top rated CBs in 2 years is tough, but if it can be done leave it to the chief and LSU's talent.

- LBs are gonna be young and make mistakes with run fits and coverage early in the season, so it may cost a few big plays or important stops. But if the front 7 stays healthy it could be VERY good... great by the end of the season.

On O:

- Mett is a first year starter with high expectations due to his talent. However, if he plays average for a passing QB he is FAR surpassing our previous starter/s and will be considered a success. The only potential problems will lie with his ability to limit turnovers and avoid pressure from SEC pressure. If he handles pressure and plays efficiently, LSU offense will be glorious.

- WRs are talented, but do they have the ability of a Reuben Randle to seperate downfield? I don't remember any deep passes in stride to anyone other than Reuben (but I think this was a QB problem). Hopefully someone will emerge as a deep threat, but it could be an issue if the TIgers need to open up the field. I will say I fully expect the WRs to look GREAT this year as a result of ZM.

With these minor, possible issues, I don't see LSU losing games because of talent or scheme... only if an opponent plays great and catches the Tigers on an off day will they lose.
