Who the frick is picking Ole Miss and Kentucky?

This!

I hate the nick picking because I know the Bama fans will snicker about it....but I'd be willing to bet that if LSU had a QB spot not even won by a soph. yet because he's trying to fight off a RS Fresh., they'd be picked 3rd or 4th.

That's JMO.

I'm sure the Tide fans will take that and run with it.

The obsession with Alabama is crazy to me considering who they lost. I understand if they are being picked ahead of us, but the margin is just weird to me.

The margin does seem to be great, but they are returning a good core of their defense. That will keep them in every game, if not win them.

That formula worked with a fantastic OL and a 4th year QB.

They don't exactly have that line anymore and def. don't have the QB.

The defense can win games, don't get me wrong, but they can only piggyback so much.

Yeah, but that offense probably only needs 14 points to win their games

I think you're putting too much stock into their defense.

I think LSU's defense is just as good. So in a way, can you say the same thing about LSU's offense? All they're going to have to do is score 14?
