Good thing the media's not playing the game.

They've been right several years now. And every year LSU fans get defensive, only to find out it the predictions were pretty valid 3 months later.

@ Emanresu they'll learn sooner or later. Well...maybe not.

Seems pretty understandable. I believe LSU is better than UGA, but they do play in the Easy East.

We said the same thing about Wisconsin and UF last year. LSU fans are way too cocky despite having zero reasons to be.

Like it - reminds me of a recent year/prediction

LSU is due to get a win against BAMA

Why Auburn? Seems to be the trendy pick this year. Even heard a few talking heads predict Auburn over Bama...

Because Stidham is a beast. That kid is good

Because they got the great QB that we missed out on. Stidham would have instantly made us a playoff favorite.

Auburn? No way. Bama I get. The law of averages wins out, we will beat Bama, they cannot beat us every single year.

Apparently they can

I'm so tired of the Auburn love. They're like USC. Every year they get hyped and do squat. Last year they beat us by a tenth of a second because of horrendous coaching, this year they're breaking in a new QB. We will throttle Auburn this year. Will we finish first? Don't know, but we're better than third in the west.

Auburn is breaking in a new QB but that QB is a beast

So this is saying we go 10-2 and win at Florida but lose to Auburn at home? I am not buying Auburn.

Lets just buckle it down, lace em up, and play some tiger football. Coach O is going to bring a whole new style of team out onto the field for LSU. I cannot frickin wait. Geaux tigers!

Yes let's go do that. I'm ready to play.

Bulletin Board material for Coach O. Nobody believes in him or his ability to win. Prove the haters, both LSU fans and the rest of the country, wrong!

UGA ranked too high. This poll loses credibility instantly placing UGA at #3 overall.

LSU will surprise a lot of people this year. I say this because their no longer handicapped by a lousy coach with an ancient scheme. Geaux Tigers!

Ridiculous! Georgia won't get past Florida. Auburn won't beat LSU. And the Tigers will topple the tide in Tuscaloosa! We then skull drag the gators in the SEC Championship en route to the playoffs and a NC for Coach O! Silencing all the critics! Les Miles returns as AD! Why not?

Sounds good but that's a long shot

I was all in until that last little part

Datbayoubengal82 months
This is my prediction except I have a hard time deciding between UF and UGA at the top of the heap in the East. I have LSU losing to Bama, Auburn, and UF.

Sounds about right. I think Ole Miss will surprise some people though. Don't think they'll be dead last. Wouldn't be surprised if they were third and we were fourth.
