How exactly do you frick up a preseason PREDICTION article?

by not doing your homework and at least getting your story right? Pick them wherever you want...but at least get the personnel graded properly.

Also, remember that LSU was an 8-5 team last year. It's not like they finished on a positive note and are being robbed in this poll.

Most level-headed people realize that LSU was VERY young last year in terms of experience, and definitely in playmaking positions. It stands to reason that returning 16 starters should significantly improve LSU's 8-4 regular season from a year ago...especially given that most of the most important playmakers were true freshmen and just learning the SEC game. Of course, you will run with what is most negative though....that's who you are.
