I love how you went out of your way to correct the list to say “Louisiana-Lafayette” instead of the more commonly used “Louisiana”. This bothers some people so damn much.

ESPN is a joke! They sold out to the woke crowd and their network has since been in decline. Luckily for them they are basically the only game in town.

I read this ranking as the old "good news is they bring back most everybody from last year ... bad news is they bring back most everybody from last year ..."

this is just clickbait. Don't bite.

All polls are irrelevant, preseason polls even more irrelevant, and post-spring polls even more than that.

Waste of time and energy.

Watch the games in the fall -- then we'll all know.

There’s gonna be a lot of teams in for a post Covid year reality check. Cajuns being one of them.

To achieve anything in this life we gotta start from the bottom, WE FINISHED .500 LAST SEASON AND BARELY WON THE GAMES WE WON OUTSIDE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND VANDY AND A LOT OF OUR RETURNING PLAYERS AREN'T EXPERIENCED PLUS WE HIRED A GAMBLE AT DC, makes total sense they don't think high of us, we'll prove em wrong and it will be glorious.

Now, let's play a "what If" game.

What If both teams went undefeated?

ULL MIGHT break the Top 10 and go to a New Years 6 game with that preseason ranking. I mean, they play in the Sun Belt.

LSU, on the other hand, is likely #1 or #2 and in the playoff.

This is honestly an inconsequential topic starter. It means nothing.

over the years ive noticed they tend to not be very creative in their rankings and more or less tweak the way the season ended slightly. i think LSU will be good next year, and finish higher than 20.

ULL has a good coach, an easy schedule, and is building the program effectively. So no disrespect to them, but LSU will end up higher in the rankings.

As somebody who follows recruiting of both schools rather closely. 2021 season will be a conundrum of sorts, Here's why.

Ul-Lafayette is returning a bunch of 5th and 6 yr seniors, because most of them won't go pro and some will eventually get an UFA contract but decided to come back for one more season. Ul-Lafayette had a few good classes in a row with loads of 3 stars a few years ago. I'm talking 16-20 three star players per class. All these players are coming back for a 4th or 5th year except the two that went to the NFL. That's right, only TWO players left for the league and the rest stayed.

LSU, and any of the top tier schools that recruit in the top 5 every year, get the best of the best so many of their players leave early. I get it that LSU has much more talent, but Ul-Lafayette will have significantly older players all over the field with much more experience that are not as talented, but can play.

With this in mind, I doubt Ull could beat LSU, even this year, but if there ever was a year for them to do it, 2021 would be it

There is so much miss in this list. That’s clickbait. I bet half of these teams don’t finish in the top 25.

So much for the reputations of LSU's powerball paid head coach and his million dollar assistants.
Another shite the bed this season and they should be run out of town BUT LSU will not be able to afford to purge them for couple more years.

This is ridiculous on the face of it. Here's a Sun Belt team that has never scored a touchdown against LSU, in ~24 games played, ranked ahead of the Tigers!

I can assure you if LSU played ULL straight up on the gridiron in 2021, LSU would come out on top more than 9 out of every 10 tries. Even if the game were played in the old McNasty swamp in Lafayette.
