Underrated: No. 16 LSU

It seems like the world is skeptical of Tigers coach Ed Orgeron after last year's disaster, but this team is much closer to the 2019 version than it is to the 2020 version.

Orgeron told me at SEC Media Days that he recognized the error of his ways and hired a staff that can install the same schemes that helped them win that national title.

Max Johnson will be a star, Kayshon Boutte is the best healthy wide receiver in the country, the running back room is stout, four starters return on the offensive line and the 11 players on the defensive side of the ball won't have their heads spinning from ex-coordinator Bo Pelini's over-coaching that took place a year ago. LSU won't be a pushover -- it'll be a national title contender.

Barrett Sallee

Take care of biz, start 6-0: LSU is firmly in the Top 10

Big year for O.

I need 3 things

1) Beat A&M. Can’t go 1-3 in the last 4. This perception of them passing us has to be halted in its tracks. That’s the biggest must win of the year to me. Too much on the line with recruiting.

2) win double digit games. The OOC should be gimmes, including UCLA. He needs 10-3 at a minimum this year.

3) The defense has to be top 3/4 in the league. There’s too much talent. Dline is deep and strong. Best CB combo in the country.

If he can do that and close with a strong bowl win then we enter 2022 as one of the favorites to win it all. Our QB room should be insane with Brennan (maybe), Max, Nuss and Howard.

Zero chance I'd trade this team with A&Ms.

Ratings in August mean nothing! The ones that count are at the end of November!

LSU plays in the best conference and if they win, they will get the deserved ranking.

Not sure how we head into 2022 rated so high when we lose so much after this year in trenches. This is the year if we have a rb step up.
