Why do all the SiriusXM Sports programs

With the way LSU has played all year, I don't understand why everyone is discounting us.
There's only been one game all year closer than 13points.

What is it about all of these teams that makes anyone believe that they can play with LSU?

Arkansas has ALWAYS played LSU tough

which doesn't mean anything if one is objectively breaking down this year's matchup...

I heard one guy this morning use the "Arky beat them at BR in 2007" as the basis of his argument. Not one word about specific matchup problems, LSU weaknesses that Ark can exploit, etc. Just "Arkansas is really playing well and they beat them in a similar situation in 2007"

Do you think the death of one of their players who
was loved by every one at University of Arkansas.

Talk doesn't give Alabama any points. The game will start 0-0 and when we beat them again the pundits will start talking about how Bama will beat us next year and start the pre season ranked #1. But, guess what? We will have a third BCS title and no one will be able to change that!

Say that Arkansas is going to kick our arse.
I just don't believe that.

I certainly haven't been listening nonstop, but the way I hear it is that they're all saying it's possible for Arkansas to win. Then they roll to all the talk and hypotheticals.

They have time to fill. Saying LSU is going to win out makes for a lot of dead air.

Arkansas has ALWAYS played LSU tough...the Piggies are fighting for a place in the BCS....

LSU has not faced a polished QB all season and when they did he threw for 400+...

Arky 36
LSU 35

Arkansas is actually a very big hurdle. I've watched them get better and better. Their offense is explosive. Their O-line was atrocious earlier in the season, but it has gotten better. I've rarely ever seen a QB get pummeled like that. Wilson is a tough SOB and a great QB in general. He's only been held under 200 one time and that was at Bama (185 yds and 2 TDs/1 Int). He's gone over 300+ four times including 500+ against the Aggies.

With that said, they struggled hard to beat Ole Miss and Vandy on the road and lost to Bama on the road. Our D-line should be able to get in and disrupt the QB. I think disruption is the key because the dude ain't really scared to take a hit from what I've seen. We need to make them rush their passes because they hit a lot of crossing routes that take a while to develop.

Our O-line should also give us an edge. The key is to just keep their offense off of the field. They have excellent receivers and a stud on special teams. We have some studs on special teams too though. Our physical nature should be our biggest advantage as the game goes on.
