If you had told me before season that the defense would be 38th at this point, I would NOT have predicted 4-0.

Offense has done its job and then some

15th ranked scoring defense against the toughest schedule in the country so far outside of A&M.

I'm pretty sure we have the #5 ranked defense and offense.

15th in scoring defense and T-7th in forced turnovers though. Kind of balances that out.

It is surprising that teams have been able to move the ball as well as they have, but the defense is has done pretty good overall.

Total defense is simply just not as important as scoring defense.

And most teams have played a weaker schedule, our rankings should improve as our opponents' numbers come back down to Earth.

Still can.

We're giving up 14.8 pts/game. That would've been 4th in the country last year at the end of the season. We've played a tougher schedule so far than just about everyone.

Lol. I mean kind of WTF. Don't forget we've been all around flat against our "cupcakes," we quit second half against Miami, and offense was clutch when needed against a very good Auburn team.

I'm pretty sure you don't understand how the polls work. Polls are nothing but opinions, not based on stats.

As of right now the teams LSU has played have the following ranked total offenses:

-Miami (45th)
-Southeastern (NR - FCS)
-Auburn (89th)
-Louisiana Tech (27th)

These don't really mean anything. I just like looking at numbers.
