LSU should be picked #2 in the SECW going into the season... by Novemeber when we play Bama it will have sorted itself out.

I believe LSU will compete for the SECW - and therfore the SEC and therefore the NC.

I don't see that as "settling" in any way ... I think I'm a realist ... if we improve our execution AND coaching we win SOME of the close games we lost this year and IF we get lucky (like UF and Bama did) we win them all and play in the SECCG and if we win then the BCSCG I believe.

But I'll let the season unfold and see what happens --- I do wish our team had the grit and determination that UT showed last night given the loss of their start QB early on.

We have the talent - do we have players with the WILL the WANT of whatever frick you want to call it?

If we have coaching blunders next year and still don't look acomplished on Offense or improve our 3rd down conversion % on Defense --- changes are going to be necessary - but I'll let them coach the season and watch before I say who's fired, etc.

I appreciate your thoughts. you are a hell of a lot more positive than I am. I do think we will be competitive, but I don't highly anticipate us being SECW champs. I know you said there were plenty of ifs.
