I'm expecting the majority of polls to be like this. Every one is over Miles and our lack of offense. They will pump up other more exciting teams in preseason polls, which mean absolutely nothing to our title chances. It remains the same for us every year, win on the field and we will be playing for a NC.

what makes you think we should be ranked higher after finishing 14 or whatever and losing a ton of people?

FWIW, this is better, under the radar is a good thing

well, we got their 1, 2, 6, 8, 18, and 24 on our schedule. I'd say that's ample opportunity to prove em wrong.

Who gives a damn about a preseason poll? Notre Dame was unranked last year and they played for a National Championship. USC was ranked #1 and lost 6 games and finished the season unranked.

Where is the cutoff for being in the hunt for championships? LOL.

Anyway like others said these preseason rankings don't mean too much. LSU was 1 or 2 last year and USC was anywhere from 1 to 3 and look how that worked out.

The voters think the same thing a lot of the so called negatigers think. Offense is bad and won't change much plus lose a pile of players on defense.

i only have a problem with a few schools...Standford is a little to high...also Clemson, louisville, Texas and ND should be a little lower....i believe we are more of a 12-14 ranked team imo

poll seems accurate.

We will end up with 3 +/- 1 losses.

right in the teens at the end of the season with another bowl loss.

Another year of Miles being "great"

I would think that aTm being ranked number 1 would raise more eyebrows... but LSU is about where they should be, maybe even a bit high.

But..wait wait....losing so many underclassmen is a good thing right?????

This is exactly where we should be with 2 regular season losses and a bowl loss to a purportedly much inferior Clemson team!!!

This is also a testiment to an overwhelming national consensus that, offsensively, LSU is in dire strait need of a "makeover" (OC, clock management, scheme, play calling etc)

This sends a great message to all our new starters for next year. Yes, the sports media does not respect our program or our head coach. Fine by me, let's run the table in 2013!

Going to the Peach Bowl. Being ranked around 15 ... welcome back to the early DiNardo years. There is no denying this.
