re: ESPN: LSU Overrated

Overrated until proven otherwise: LSU and Ole Miss are both overrated. There’s no other way to say it. The difference between the two teams is that LSU is overrated and still unbeaten. Ole Miss is overrated and coming off a loss in its SEC opener. LSU coach Les Miles called the Tigers “vulnerable” following their 30-26 escape at Mississippi State, and he’s right. I’d go as far as to say they’re very beatable unless they find their running game and start playing with more consistency in all areas.

All true and all the fault of the media.

Afterall...you can't be OVER RATED unless you're being rated. The media wouldn't be happy unless they were doing Top 20 polls after the season, during the spring, preseason, etc. LSU is ranked where they are BECAUSE of the press' desire to create these stupid fricking polls'.

Honestly at this point of the season, there seems to be three dominant teams (Florida, BAMA and Texas) and everyone else. LSU is in the everyone else catagory right now, but their potential and the fact that they have clearly not played anywhere near their potential gives them tons of room for improvement. They are ranked #4 right now because the press knows no other way of ranking teams than to rank them in preseason and basically automatically move teams up if they don;t lose and others lose in front of them.

Listening to memebers of the press bitch about their own system is kinda' funny...
