re: Les Miles has set LSU back 10 years

so preseason polls don't matter? BCS guru Brad Edwards was just talking on ESPN about how much preseason rankings matter and pretty much determine which few teams get a crack at the title. He said going back 50 years, 16 teams won the title with a loss and 15 of the 16 began season in top 8. Said if you lose a game and don't start in top 8, you pretty much have no chance of winning the title. Also said AP is the trendsetter in preseason for setting national opinion for teams. The preseason polls matter and Leslie has taken our program to a place where national respect for our program is so low that we are outside the top 20 and no one even mentions LSU.

Yeah buddy, the years he was referring to were before a time where the sec contained at least 3teams in the top 10 year in year out (for the most part) ... with wins over UF, bama, and unc with a random loss... There would be a high chance we play for the NC.. can't believe everything you hear on tv guy
