If they didn't pay attention, they would not have ranked us so high to start the year.

Well, it's not like we're ranked #20 this year. QB is usually the biggest factor in determining these things. Last year we had a 5th year senior with a lot more experience than a typical 1st year starter. Let's take a look at the 6 teams ranked ahead of LSU:



1) Georgia--Stafford will be a 3rd year starter

2) Ohio State--Boeckman started last year and led Ohio State to the Big X championship and NC game

3) USC--have 2 guys who were ranked #1 in their respective classes and who have about 10 career starts between them

4) Oklahoma--Bradford is a big, strong QB who had one of the best freshman seasons ever by quarterback

5)Florida--Tebow won the Heisman

6)Missouri--Chase Daniel was a Heisman finalist.




If ya'll can't see that all 6 of those QB situations are much more desirable than the one we have, you're crazy.
