I wouldn’t mind Ole Miss beating them to make the first part of our schedule look a bit better.
LSU LSU now ranked #5

I think LSU is highly overrated and being propped up by wins over other overrated teams. It’s just another example of way pre-season rankings should go away. The AP and coaches polls are meaningless anyway, the only one that matters is the CFP poll. IMO, there should be no polls until the first CFP poll is release.
Miami should have never been a pre-season top 10 team and Auburn is looking more like they should have been top 15 instead of pre-season 9. Pre-season rankings manipulate the landscape because those polls, unlike the CFP, never completely reset. Those polls take weeks to adjust because voters continue to use what they expected as a basis, instead of only what is happening.
I think LSU is closer to 13-15 and I think they’ll have at least 2 losses by the time of the Bama game. I think they are playing on borrowed time. I wouldn’t be shocked if Ole Miss beats them and, I fully expect UGA and Miss St to beat them.

I said before the season LSU would be good. I said before they played AU that they would perhaps give them more than they could handle. They will likely finish in the top 10 based on talent. The wildcard is Oeaux and his ability to mess things up.
I was checking out some LSU boards the other day and at least some of them seem to think he is as good as Haskins and he just doesn't have the same talent around him. :biggrin:
Agree on all points except MSU. If Ogre actually has the team prepped for MSU they win. The only team more overrated than LSU right now is MSU.
Well...I guess it does depend on how well the LSU O-line is playing or healed up. That could be where the whole thing turns. Still, I think they are better overall on both sides of the ball in that one.
The one thing Auburn gashed them on was passing. I think Ole Miss might light up the score board to the point that LSU can’t keep up even against Ole Miss’s defense. There is something about teams who are overrated going against teams with nothing to lose. Look at this very game in 2014.
I think this is a real possibly. I'm not sure it will actually happen though. But I can see a situation where LSU's offense stalls out on one or two straight drives and Ole Miss' passing game gashes them for two quick back to back td's and LSU has to start playing catch up. That could easily put Ole Miss in the driver's seat real quick.
Burrow is overrated. Ta'amu is not.
Ole miss can win if they play some semblance of defense...which is questionable.
