I think they should at least be No. 2 behind a talented Clemson team led by Lawrence.

Ohio State has a quarterback who is favored to win heisman and MB is unproven. We are where we should be.

The fact that bama and Georgia is ahead of LSU in the polls is a JOKE. All 3 teams are staring new qbs. JT Daniels only had 14 tds to go with 10 ints his freshman yr, and then was hurt last yr, hes not proven. Jamie Newman couldn't take wake forest to more than an 8-5 record in a horrible ACC. 26 tds and 11 ints. Hes more proven than Daniels in my opinion but neither have played SEC ball. Then you have big bad bama ranked ahead of us. Y, I dont know. Theyll be starting a new qb as well. Mac Jones' sample size isn't enough to put them ahead of LSU in my opinion. I think we have a better supporting cast offensively to help Brennan. And I think this defense will be the best we've had in a while. Aranda was more read and react than attacking. Ready for a more aggressive defense!

Joey Galloway would argue LSU needs to be #1 until they lose. I disagree with him. 2019 is over. But I do feel 5 is a little low considering where they put Georgia.

Bama had a down yr? It just so happens that Tua got hurt. Thats not a down yr. He played 9 out of 13 games. They lost their 2 hardest games of the yr. I wouldnt say that a down yr. Starter got hurt in game 9 and your 5 star backup freshman qb has to start the rest of the yr..freshman or not hes still a 5 star qb..get off of bamas junk, it wasnt a down yr. That was 1 of the top offenses in the country last season

UGA and Oklahoma are a joke. Might as well just give Clemson a pass to the Natty. They won’t play anyone this year

Amway Coaches Preseason Poll Aug. 6, 2020

Rank, Team (First-Place Votes), Points
1, Clemson (38), 1589
2, Ohio State (17), 1555
3, Alabama (4), 1495
4, Georgia, 1345
5, LSU (6), 1330



What’s new in 2020. Zero respect. Again!

The idea we are behind that train wreck GA and the idea the no one got the message about our offense is another bad joke!

When we rout our first few opponents, they’ll jump on the LSU bandwagon

Not worried.

LSU can beat anyone on that or any other list and has been proving it long enough for people to know better...

i think 5th is a solid ranking for us, however, clemson, ohio state, and bama are all being ranked top 3 the following year after winning a title regardless of talent lost based solely on their names.

Georgia is always over hyped. Every year. Nothing new.

I don’t at all understand this sentiment from so many people. #5 is definitely respectable given the incredible amount of production we lost and breaking in a new quarterback with less experience than any of the QB’s of the 4 teams ahead of us. Some of y’all just have a constant chip on your shoulder.

LSU is #5 in a pyramid scheme. Cool.

Speaking of multi-level marketing companies, a really hot chick conned me into joining Herbal Life. I gave her $400 and I got to talk to her at least once a week for about six months. Good times.

Totally agree.

Bama went 11-2 last year despite Tua getting injured twice.

A healthy Tua down the stretch beats Auburn and probably gets ranked fourth by the CFP committee at the end of the regular season.

Agree. Besides, look at the rankings of our opponents under the revised schedule - including "others". If we finish undefeated, we'll definitely be in the top two.

#5 is horseschitt after 2019, akin to 0 respect.
#5 is horseschitt after 2 GA beastial beatings.
#5 is horseschitt after Alabama’s decline.
#5 is horseschitt after Clemson’s beatdown.
THEY ALL GOTTA BE TAUGHT LESSONS AGAIN

Yeah, Get one. After two seasons of stompings, these coaches will figure out who to camp out in the TOP SLOT

This LSU team can Geaux all the way unbeaten.

Durkee, if we stuck your FB brain in one of them Super Computers to gauge a Football IQ, it would register you as an F-Tard. If we added your brain cells in a bird, it would fly backwards and eat it’s own schitt.

What do any of these comments about past teams have to do with a pre-season ranking of the 2020 LSU team?

Sure there is. LSU is 4th to last in the nation in % of returning production. UGA is 59th. The reason a lot of people were bullish on LSU going into last season is because they were returning a ton of production from the 2018 season. The sword cuts both ways.


Now do Alabama.
