re: The one thing that would really grind my gears next season:

Here's what I think will happen: LSU will pull a Michigan and play complimentary football, which wins championships.

The offense won't be centered around the QB throwing 40-50x's a game. The Tigers will have that ability if they need it, but I think we will see more of the run game paired with a play-action passing game. This in turn will help the defense, which should be markedly improved under a new DC regardless of talent. House was just that bad. The idea is to keep the defense off the field if it's your weak link. A good ball control scheme will frustrate an opposing defense into taking more chances to try and get a turnover, and then you take your shots.
