I think LSU is a very good team, but I don't think they have much of a chance of beating Bama. Yes, LSU's schedule is tough this year, and so far, it's been as tough as anyone based on today's rankings. However, when you look at it a little deeper, I don't think it's that impressive.
Oregon - Oregon is a very good team in the PAC 12, but that doesn't mean much to me. Since 2008, Oregon has played 5 Ranked Non-Conference Teams and there offense went from 47 (roughly) pts per game to about 22. Those teams were Boise, Ohio State, LSU, Auburn and someone else. Good win, but Oregon can't play anyone well outside of the PAC 12.
Miss St - I think we all thought Miss State was going to be a pretty formidable team this year. However, after 10 days to prepare and having to go to OT to beat La Tech, I'm not that impressed. They pounded Memphis in Week 1, but Memphis was beaten 42-0 at HOME by SMU yesterday! SMU!!!
West Virginia - Once again, possibly a good team, but I'm not sure. WV beat Maryland by 6 last week at Maryland. This week, Temple played at Maryland and beat them 38-7 and was up 38-0... Not to mention, WV put up 450 yds passing on LSU.
So, is LSU's 4-0 start impressive? Sure. But to say it's #1 worthy is nonsense. We'll know more about how good LSU is after they play Florida and we can compare that to how Bama plays Florida. Until then, LSU is a Solid Top 5 team in a year of College Football with very few teams that are Elite.
