The Tigers are ranked #6 and that is great.Some "experts" are even putting them into playoff contention and that is good. I keep wondering though are they THAT good.

They beat what I feel was an over-rated Miami team. They did not exactly dominate an outclassed SLU and there were times in the Auburn game that I felt LSU couldn't stay on the field with them.

Can they take down Georgia or push Alabama to the limit as a college football playoff team could do?

What are your thoughts exactly how good is LSU?

I think realistically they are a two loss team.

Probably a three loss team, which is better than I thought they’d be. I could see them as a one loss team though if things break right.

We've got holes for sure, but the defense and special teams being as good as they've been cover up alot of it.

Ultimately we're a 42 yard FG from being 2-1 and back to the sky falling.

I don't believe that we are top 10, but we are there so I'm happy. I think that we addressed position needs better than we have in the recent past. I think we are managing the clock and the ball better than we have in the recent past. We are not where we want to be yet, but then again, we are 3-0 and that is precisely where we want to be record wise.

Ultimately it comes down to who has the most horses. I feel we need some more up front.

Tough to say at this point because IMO the team that played Auburn will not be the same team that plays UGA and Bama. This offense still has a lot of room to grow due to the inexperience at the skill positions.

Anywhere between a 3 - 9 team to a 15 - 0 team

I’m thinking the latter is closer to where we’ll land than the former though

I think the point of the season is to find out the answer to that question.

I predicted 8-4 before the season started. I now feel they are better than that.

Defense is top 10 easily. Offense doesn’t turn the ball over. And special teams wins the field position battle. That’s a recipe for a championship team

between very good and great

This team is improving and will be hell come late October. This LSU Team can go 11 & 1 reg. season.

Pretty talented but limited by our head coach...

Oh wait, thought it was still August.

This is a one loss team.

We're good enough to beat anyone on any given saturday when we are fully healthy, but we are probably not good enough to beat everybody with this brutal schedule.

Our defense is super fricking good

Our Kicker is super fricking good

Our punter is pretty fricking good.

So far our offense has been just fricking good enough

So fricking good I think.
