Why you are excited about being 3rd best is beyond comprehension.

Exactly. Growing up as a fan in the 70's, 80's and early 90's we would have been ecstatic just to be considered middle of the road. Or during Hallman's tenure to not be considered a doormat.

Considering the two teams ahead of us have lost a combined 1 regular season game in the last two years and been entrenched in the top 5 over that time, maybe being ranked right behind them is as good as it gets until we actually beat them on the field.

The SEC has had the last 4 national champions, considering all that we have to overcome this year with still a question at QB and such a young defense, #3 in this league is pretty awesome.

What's even more funny is when people get so spoiled that it's a bad thing to be ranked behind two schools that have won the past 3 NC's.

Guess what? LSU football didnt start it's inaugural season in 2000 when Saban arrived.

I was in 2006. Finished behind Florida and Arkansas, even though we beat them.

who gives a shite what sportsnation has to say! it doesn't mean squat. LSU might not even the 3rd best team in the SEC WEST this year.

you do realize that the 3rd school that won the NC in the past 3 years was LSU right?? Also Florida has a new starter at QB and Bama lost 9 of 11 on Defence...spoiled you say? with the talent on this team we should be #1 but we are not.....

thanks asshat but what does LSU's record in the 60s, 70s, 80, and 90s have to do with being selected 3rd THIS YEAR??????????

I believe the OP was being a little facetious, because we've been picked by the SEC media to finish fourth in our own division...

LSU finishes no worse than third in conference...

so what's wrong with that? when I look at their schedule the only game you can count as a loss is their last game which is @ bama and that being a rivalry you can't even count that one. They host Clemson, South Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, & LSU. They should be favored in all of those. They travel to Miss St, UK, Ole Miss, & bama as i mentioned before. Will probably be favored in all of those except Bama. If LSU's schedule looked like that you would say they're going to run the table.
