re: AP Poll released...LSU No. 14

Does anyone understand what informs these preseason polls? They do have substantial potential influence on final rankings. No doubt about that. Given how LSU played last year finishing unranked, 14 seems, again, generous.

If they cannot have a much better offense offense than last year (read a legitimate passing game), then the odds are that they will finish the 2015 campaign unranked as well.

I watched the Florida game again and, wow, what a pathetically impotent offense it was. So often could not get out of its own way. Here's hoping...
