Featuring your #23 LSU Tigers

I figured we had enough street cred to stay in the 11-20 range.
Oh well, more motivation.

LSU Tigers
Losing offensive tackle Ciron Black and guard Lyle Hitt is huge. Ditto for tailback Charles Scott, linebacker Harry Coleman and safety Chad Jones. But LSU is one of the few programs that can bounce back from losses like that. Remember, the Tigers still have quarterback Jordan Jefferson, linebacker Kelvin Sheppard and Patrick Peterson, who might be the nation's best corner.

Sad that both Saban and Pellini can both take over mediocre programs and have better teams than LSU in only their 2nd year at AL and NE. And Miles got handed a Top 5 program.

Miles got handed a Top 5 program.
10+ win seasons gone? check.
Undefeated in bowls gone? check.
Winning sec record gone? check.
Top 100 offense gone? check.
Ability to beat Bama, UF, Ole Miss gone? check.
Enjoy the modicum of success while it still remains.

As bad as Miles is at times, 9-3 will get in ranked in the top 25 every year.....

LSU finished 8-5 in 2008 and 9-4 in 2009.
Of those 17 wins, 8 have come against:
Appy State
North Texas
ULL
La Tech
Washington
Troy
Tulane
Enjoy the top 25 while it lasts.

23 seems fair to me with the questions of coaching, etc. Lesley has a lot to prove. Perform well and the rankings will adjust accordingly.

HOW SAD! #23 with Top 5 Recruiting Classes - Only problem = COACHING (or lack thereof). 
Posted on 1/13/10 at 7:05 pm to BullSam
no expectations by the press and rant means success.

u guys r kidding right les has done a great job recruiting he got the best class in the country last year after an eight win season the only problem he had was the clock management in the ol miss game. the big big big big big problem is GARY CROWTON his has the fastest team in the country and we are 112 in the FBS pathetic. his system is awful and so is his play calling with charles and keelan gone all we have is chris murphy in the running game i say its time we see the spread in baton rouge. and then maybe just maybe he will use Russell shepard more

We lost the last 3 out of 5 games 23 is about right

LSU lost 3 of its last 5 in 2008 as well.

according to those rankings we'll be underdogs when we open up against UNC
Posted on 1/13/10 at 8:34 pm to drizztiger
Kinda disheartening, but I have faith in next season.
Posted on 1/13/10 at 8:41 pm to filmmaker45
Three Big Ten teams in the top 10 (2 in the top 5) and only one SEC team? What is the world coming to?
P.S. Mostly kidding. I understand that it's a way too early preseason poll.
