I don’t see a dominant/elite team this season.

I don’t think any team is immune from getting tripped up somewhere along the way. The playoff could end up looking a little goofy this season. It wouldn’t shock me to see at least one 2-loss team in there.

Seems to me we will have a season on par with 2007. And I’m here for it.

Alabama fielding their worst team in over 10 years, Georgia looks very beatable, and the other power 5 schools didn’t look overwhelming at all.

I’d say Florida St looked pretty good

FSU is good, but definitely beatable. Boston College almost upset them last week

I think they’re probably good but probably not elite.

It's week 3. Rarely does a "dominant team" present itself this early. UGA barely escaped Missouri last season in week 5. 2020 Alabama was in a dog fight with Ole Miss in week 3. Even the 2019 LSU team wasn't seen as "elite" after week 3.

I'm not saying there will or won't be an elite team emerge. But it is WAY too early go make any definitive statements one way or the other. Just about every title team from the last decade (plus) has had a game where they struggled, causing fans to question if they were "championship caliber".

Wow, that’d certainly be one hell of a great time. I’m getting a touch old. I’d like to see Kelly accomplish at LSU maybe like 3 nationals or so over about a 10-year span.

You’re right. It’s too early, so let’s just say I’m predicting a dominant/elite will not emerge this season.

Yep Washington and USC are serious. PAC12 actually looks good this year

Yes, but recently there has been a consensus “best team in the country” pre season and early into the year. This year there legitimately looks like there’s like 12-13 teams that could win the title. Going to be a hell of a year.

FSU gave us a thrashing in the second half.

It was their first game too.

See how injuries and player development over the course of the season play out and maybe we’ll get a chance at redemption.

USC gave up 28 to San Jose State.

that’s defense is as suspect as ever.
