LSU Number 14 in SI's "Way Too Early" Pre-Season Rankings

LSU Tigers
2012 record: 10-3
Hopefully, the last draft-eligible junior in Baton Rouge turned off the lights. That was quite an exodus. Eleven Tigers gave up eligibility to turn pro. So why am I not dropping LSU lower after such a massive talent drain? Consider this quote from Tigers defensive coordinator John Chavis in September after LSU played 19 freshmen and 17 sophomores. "We play a lot of people," Chavis said. "We don't recruit guys to redshirt. ... If you've recruited the right kind of people, they're not going to be here for four years anyway." The Tigers will be just fine.
Why this ranking could be too low: Maybe this young group proves even better than the one that just left.
Why this ranking could be too high: Even at LSU, it's tough to lose that much talent in one shot.
Bama and TAMU are ranked number one and two.
SC is 8, Florida 9, UGA 11, TCU 15, Vandy 23.

SI hates LSU

LSU is more talented than the 14th ranked team but sometimes they play like they shouldnt even be in the top 25 so 14 is about right

Considering where they finished, who they lost, and their 2013 schedule...seems about right. I expect them to perform better than #14 though.

better hope we win opening game, or we might not be ranked in the top 25 going into week 2.

We shouldn't be a preseason top 10 team. It's foolish to think we would be.

They lost 2 games playing essentially the same schedule as us and destroyed OU in their bowl game
They're returning a dual threat Heisman winning QB that won the trophy his first year in that offensive scheme.
How low do you want them to be ranked?
Posted on 1/22/13 at 1:34 pm to The312
we'll finish #1 thru #5

If changes aren't made with the offensive "scheme" I don't see lsu finishing 14th.

Yeah typically LSU doesn't finish in the top 14.
