re: ESPN ranks LSU #3 in preseason rankings

Because we weren't very good last year. We squeaked out a win against Wisconsin, beaten pretty bad against Miss. State, destroyed by Auburn, squeaked out a win against an average at best Florida team, couldn't finish the Alabama game, shutout and stomped by Arkansas, and lost to Notre Dame. The team was average at best. I see no reason (given our quarterback situation) why we should be ranked at #3.

And we really weren't very good in 2010. Got very lucky to win several of the games we won, like UF, UT, and Bama that I can think of from memory.

Yes QB play needs to improve drastically to win a championship. But our team is so talented everywhere else we can definitely compete with anybody, and win, if our QB play improves like I'm optimistically hoping it will.

Fortunately we don't have to have heisman level QB play to go far. We will have a damn good team and I think our QB, whichever one it ends up being, will surprise some people next season.
