At this time we are probably 5ish.
Looking at the reality of the season play UGA and Bama this ranking cant hold.

Your answer lies somewhere in between there.

I keep reading that Bama is unbeatable because of Tua crap. What top rated defense has he played against this year? The passing windows will be much tighter when he goes against our Tigers. Aranda will have some blitz packages designed just for him. Unlike against Tech, there wont be the vanilla four man rush. Shelvin needs to be incorporated into the rotation before Georgia and Bama. Can’t keep playing Lawrence the whole game.

I like our chances against Bama this year. I believe the whole team will be much improved by the Bama game. I believe Burrow and the quick passing game shown against Auburn will be the difference. Burrow’s coolness under pressure is key. Brossett’s vision and Edwards Helliare’s pass catching ability will also be key. It was important to get CEH going the last game and going forward.

Just remember Mike Tyson was unbeatable because most out of fear had given up before the fight even began. Buster Douglas was not afraid. He did not give up before the fight. He excited his plan. Bama is not unbeatable. Tua is not invincible. How many passing QBs have beat LSU since LSU became DBU?

We are not a complete team.
We lack an efficient, productive offense.

We're literally top 5ish.

Quit trying to pull strings. No concerns, nothing to worry about. We're 4-0.

I agree to an extent. Bama has not been tested against a real defense yet this year. They have to play at LSU and then they've got the Auburn game to conclude the regular season. Assuming they win the West, and Georgia wins the East, that's their third big test in the SECCG.

I think what the bigger picture is in regards to Tua, Bama's offense, and the overall state of their team currently, is now they have a legitimate passing game to compliment what is usually the best run game in college football. They've got the backs, they've got the big boys up front, and now they have a really good passer who also happens to have some running ability as well. Their receivers ain't shabby either.

Make no mistake, this Bama team is for real. LSU, Auburn, UGA, and whoever else faces them not only has to prepare for a tough defense and run game but a real passing threat that Bama hasn't had in quite some time.
