CBS Sports Says LSU Is Most Overrated Team In SEC, Predicts Order Of Finish

by Staff Reporter

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

CBS Sports writer Dennis Dodd, along with Tom Fornelli, Ben Kercheval, Barrett and Sallee all picked LSU as their most "overrated team" in the SEC for the 2017 season.

Here's what they had to say:

quote:
Most overrated team:

LSU: Ed Orgeron's honeymoon will last until the final whistle of the first game LSU loses that it's not supposed to. And that will happen at some point. We know Orgeron was a popular -- but second -- choice. There are significant quarterback issues in a league that is getting at that position. Arden Key is a monster but has undergone at least one surgery in the offseason. There's a hiccup for the Tigers out there somewhere. How ugly will it get when it happens? -- Dennis Dodd (and Tom Fornelli, Ben Kercheval, Barrett Sallee)

The other teams that CBS thought were "overrated" in the SEC were Tennessee, Florida and Texas A&M.

However, the Vols and the Aggies were also in their "underrated" list along with Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Arkansas.

Three CBS Writers projected LSU to finish 3rd in the SEC West, one predicted No. 2 finish and another had the Tigers finishing at 4th in the Western Division.

Good. Pick A&M, Alabama and Ole Miss every week for that shitty 2:30 kickoff time

Anything that Barrett Sallee is connected with has to be taken with a grain of salt. If Nick Saban were to stop suddenly, this guy would give him an unexpected direct vision colonoscopy.

MLCLyons•105 months

He can't be that much of a homer, he picked UGA to win the SEC.

Emteein•105 months

why am I not surprised to see Barrett Sallee's name tagged to this?

Port Royal•105 months

Barrett Sallee cant take a breath without saying Alabama.

Havoc•105 months

CBS Sports sucking that Tiger dick bitch.

OTIS2•105 months

Good omen. These guys are retarded.

aardvark1975•105 months

What a surprise! Barrett Sallee had something negative to say about LSU. He is so far up Saban's arse his nickname is "colonoscopy'

Bleacher Report is sh*t.. They built their readership by hiring wanna-be sports writers, most of which don't have a college degree, who blogs from home getting paid peanuts to churn articles daily.. using questionable tactics like keyword manipulation, clickbait titles/etc that are given to them by the editor/s.

I used to blog a little and was hired by them. As soon as I saw how they ran their website, I changed my mind before I ever typed the first article. Barrett goes where the most eyes are. Everything they do is calculated to work in their best interest to get eyes. That's it. Just Google a few terms associated with Bleacher Report and see the horror stories from ex bloggers and others concerning their tactics.

that's such an easy prediction to make. "lose a game they shouldn't"

have you seen our road schedule this year? GTFO with this nonsense

Lsu101205•105 months

Someone inform the team, looks like there is no reason to play the season. I mean the media generally gets all of this correct right?

saint tiger225•105 months

Media always gets it right. That's why HRC is our president.

Cadello•105 months

2 teams were picked as over rated and same 2 as under rated. Hard to take these people serious.

magicman0001•105 months

"The other teams that CBS thought were "overrated" in the SEC were Tennessee, Florida and Texas A&M."

"However, the Vols and the Aggies were also in their "underrated" list.."

And this is precisely why I don't pay attention to what sports media.. Especially small market media like Barrett Sallee and Bleacher "Clickbait/keyword manipulation" Report) THey'll literally blog anything to get eyes on their sh*t..

YellaPurp•105 months

stopped reading after CBS Sports.......

STRIPES•105 months

Lsu has recruited top 5 and 10 classes for years so talent must not be the question. So these dumbasses must not think that Aranda and Canada are worth a damn.

I mean LSU has talent galore including a Heisman caliber RB and two of the top Coordinators and one of the top 4 or 5 football staffs in the entire country.

Consider that LSU was 3 plays away from beating UF, Aubie, and Wisconsin and was within 10 points of Bama yet these jerkoffs think LSU is overrated. Uh OK.

magicman0001•105 months

Consider the source.. Especially Bleacher Report

WallsAllAroundMe•105 months

Since they feel this way, is it possible they can commit to not pick up ANY LSU games this year? Those 2:30pm kickoffs kill me

Jdixon•105 months

Really fake sports news!! CBS

texastigerr•105 months

@MSU
@Tenn
@Ole Miss
@Florida
@Alabama

What a bunch of panty wastes to make that kind of prediction. It's easy to say overrated when you look at this schedule and predict a loss. Geaux Tigers! Welcome Mike VII.

glaucon•105 months

So basically they picked us to finish about the same place as everyone else did but we are overrated?

pellietigersaint•105 months

LSU will talk on Saturdays........blee dat. I used to watch every pre-season and in season show out there. Thank the Lord I've outgrown loooking at that garbage.

TigerSpray•105 months

Rain out coming.

Datbayoubengal•105 months

me too

Dhagen08•105 months

fake news

emanresu•105 months

Since most people outside of CBS have us pegged for 3rd in the SEC, and now most of CBS writers have us at that same spot, doesn't that mean we are...accurately rated?

Mr. Hangover•105 months

They're running out of shite to talk about
