Are we LSU fans disrespecting Oregon?

I think it is going to be a closer game than people believe. I do however think our defense will contain them more than they are used to and our OL will open the air and ground game in the second half. But no disrespect. Just healthy arrogance.

we just need to weather the storm early, once the initial blow comes and goes ... we always turn it up, i am predicting a oregon 7-10 point lead before a pick 6 and a the tigers never looking back

The Big East is worse and WVU gave you all you could handle at home.

We invented HUGE chip on the shoulder syndrome.

Sucks? This is the lie of all lies that just pisses me off. Well, this Sucky Conference as you call it has owned the SEC this last Century Dumb arse when they actually play head to head on a game field. So if the PAC sucks, then that means you are one step lower then Sucking:

From the Modern Football Era(the BCS)the PAC has won 12 vs 10 SEC.
The SEC was favored to win 12 of those games but only won 10.
Also one can see the PAC is 14-7-1 against the spread vs the SEC.

Another way to put this is that it takes a number of games for teams to get up to speed. The defenses usually get going pretty quickly, but the offenses can vary. LSU doesn't have too much to replace on offense and the OL is mostly in tact. They will be ahead of the curve. Oregon had too much changeover on the OL so they will be out of sync and behind that curve. And this will only be exacerbated by their hurry-up.

So, if they met week 4, I be calling LSU by 3 and I'd be nervous. In week 1, I'm not worried and I expect LSU to win by close to 20 (I'll say 17).

I think you are slightly over-rating the PAC-12 and very much underestimating the ACC. They get a bad rap because they are light at the top, but on average they are pretty solid. ...And the only reason the Big X beats the Big 12 is because they added Nebraska.
