Typical stupid ESPN poll.

The state of Alabama in the top 10, Clemson at #10, ND at #12, USC at #5. Good grief.

Yet ESPN has their "Post Spring" Power Rankings out and LSU is #8 in the SEC. MAKE UP YOUR MIND ESPN!! They have Tennessee and Arky ahead of LSU, along with Moo State who isn't even in their Top 25. Excellent product guys...

ESPN hates LSU.

I could buy ND at 12 considering they bring back like 17 or 18 starters from a team that was pretty good until they started dropping like flies from injury.

No way I could buy USC at 5 and Auburn in the top 5 is a joke. The offense is going to be typically good, but until Muschamp actually does something there, how do you honestly rank them so high?

2011, we were predicted to be mid range 15-20. Look how that worked out.

If i remember we were only picked by one guy out of a bunch polled to make a major bowl game.

TLDR: Pre season polls are useless and a waste.

I'm sure not ranking MS State was an oversight.
