Outside of Alabama and Florida is LSU the most talented team in the SEC?

Not saying Alabama and Florida have more talent just comparable talent, Georgia could also be in the mix as for year Richt has been able to get players in Georgia.

Auburn has a lot of talent according to recruiting classes

A&M

UGA has more talent than UF. UF's offensive skill players are as bad as they've ever been since I can remember.

Nah I don't believe A&M is as talented as LSU across the board.

I originally read it wrong, I thought u said outside of bama, FL and LSU who is the most talented. Put it that way, I don't think FL is on our level at all. Its Bama, LSU and then everyone else as far as talent across the board

Alabama has far more offensive talent than LSU. Our defense prob has more talent than this year's Bama def. outside of lb , Bama's defense is pretty meh this year. If LSU can throw for 298 and run for over 100 on your defense, they are suspect. I really believe that had Bama had to play any of the top 3 in the SEC east away from BDS, they could've lost another game.

I think LSU has just as much offensive talent just not the right system to utilize it

You left out UGA, A&M, and if you talking talent, you left out Vandy too....because they won 9 games, 1 game Les than LSU.

I would say we are probably a step below in talent on O but you're right about the system. Our talent is nowhere near as bad as the on field results.

No, offensive line is horrible. Mid-SEC at best. QB is not in top half either.

LSU is actually better than both; we need an offensive coordinator.

UGA talent > LSU talent. I'd say we're 4th in SEC.

Next season's offensive line will be as good as this season's could have been.

In terms of how they ranked as recruits, here is a quick breakdown of Florida's defense.
LB/DE Ronald Powell 5*
DT Dominique Easley 5*
NT Omar Hunter 5*
DE Sharrif Floyd 5*
WLB Jelani Jenkins 5*
MLB Jonathan Bostic 4*
SLB Darren Kitchens 3*
CB Loucheiz Purifoy 4*
CB Jaylen Watkins 4*
FS Josh Evans 4*
SS Matt Elam 5*
That is, on paper, the most talented defense in the SEC (based on recruiting numbers alone). Compare that to Alabama's defense:
LB/DE Adrian Hubbard 4*
DT Damian Square 3*/Quentin Dial 4*
NT Jesse Williams 4*
DE Ed Stinson 4*
WLB Nico Johnson 5*/C.J. Moseley 4*
MLB Trey Depriest 4*/Nico Johnson 5*
SLB Xzavier Dickson 4*
CB Dee Milliner 5*
CB Deion Belue 3*
FS Robert Lester 4*
SS HaHa Clinton-Dix 5*
While this is certainly a star-studded cast, I still think Florida had a ridiculous pool of talent to work with.
Now look at ours:
DE Sam Montgomery 4*
DT Bennie Logan 3*
DT Josh Downs 4*/Anthony Johnson 5*
DE Barkevious Mingo 4*
LB Kwon Alexander 4*/Lamar Louis 4*/Tahj Jones 3*
LB Kevin Minter 4*
LB Lamin Barrow 3*/Deion Jones 3*
CB Tharold Simon 4*
CB Jalen Mills 3*/Jalen Collins 3*
FS Eric Reid 4*
SS Craig Loston 5*
You be the judge.
