I'd say its much closer to #20 than #15. This is a breakdown I did earlier:
quote:
Because that's right around where we deserve to be after the last two years of football.
1. Alabama (26-2)
2. Ohio State (21-5)
3. Boise State (26-1)
4. Florida (26-2)
5. Texas (25-2)
6. TCU (23-3)
7. Oklahoma (18-7)
8. Nebraska (19-8)
9. Iowa (20-6)
10. Va Tech (20-7)
11. Oregon (20-6)
12. Wisconsin (17-9)
13. Miami (17-10)
14. USC (21-5)
15. Pittsburgh (19-7)
16. Georgia Tech (20-7)
17. Arkansas (13-12)
18. North Carolina (16-10)
19. Penn State (22-4)
20. Florida State (16-10)
21. LSU (17-9)
22. Auburn (13-12)
23. Georgia (18-8)
24. Oregon State (17-9)
25. West Virginia (18-8)
If you sort the rankings by winning percentage over the last two years you get:
1. Boise State (.962)
2. Alabama (.928)
2. Florida (.928)
4. Texas (.925)
5. TCU (.884)
6. Penn State (.846)
7. Ohio State (.807)
7. USC (.807)
9. Iowa (.769)
9. Oregon (.769)
11. Virginia Tech (.740)
11. Georgia Tech (.740)
13. Oklahoma (.720)
14. Pittsburgh (.730)
15. Nebraska (.703)
16. Georgia (.692)
16. West Virginia (.692)
18. Wisconsin (.653)
18. Oregon State (.653)
18. LSU (.653)
21. Miami (.629)
22. North Carolina (.615)
22. Florida State (.615)
24. Arkansas (.520)
24. Auburn (.520)
So looking at the top 25 by winning percentage over the last two years, LSU should fall between #18-20. When you pair the fact that we had the #109 offense last year, some serious coaching blunders, and one of the hardest schedules in the country this season, it shouldn't shock anyone that are preseason rating is #21.

West Virginia is less at QB than we are. And isn't NC losing their best LB for this game?

Rest assured that changes will be made if we aren't in a bowl. That isn't happening though... this is an 8 win team at worst.
Agree. Upside is better than the downside. 8 wins is a pretty solid prediction. Not happy with it but its how I see it shaking out.

LSU 6-6 and a berth in the Independence Bowl! I may attend.
Posted on 8/24/10 at 6:02 pm to LSUAce007
Tulane has a better chance of going 12-0 than LSU does of going 6-6. No chance that happens.
Posted on 8/24/10 at 6:03 pm to Cornholio
LSU has no chance of going 6-6. LSU has no chance of going 10-2 or better either. It's either 7-5, 8-4, 9-3.

I will be DAMNEDD if we go 6-6

Fast forward to 1999:
W San Jose St. 29-21
W North Texas 52-0
L Auburn 7-41
L Georgia 22-23
L Florida 10-31
L Kentucky 5-31
L Mississippi St. 16-17
L Ole Miss 23-42
L Alabama 17-23
L Houston 7-20
W Arkansas 35-10
3-8 that year; 8 in a row!!. While not likely, 6 losses is very much a possibility. Don't kid yourself.

We will not go 6-6. Period. End of discussion.

okay

We went 9-4 last year with 3 close loses to Bama, Fl, and Ole Miss. If the field isnt pathetic in Cap One we beat Penn State and go 10-3. These jackas$es dont know anything. We didn't lose that much and other teams haven't gotten that much better. I can't believe some of these guys actually get paid to "analyze" football.

So now we are going to compare Miles and Chavis to Dinardo and the Perfesser? Got it. Great Post.
Posted on 8/24/10 at 9:21 pm to TigerBoy85
How expectations have been lowered once the Miles built program surfaced.

10-2(6-2) is possible-i'm hoping for better-this team has got the tools to surprise some people!
Posted on 8/24/10 at 10:13 pm to LSUAce007
This is a crock of shite. LSU will dominate this year. Just wait it will be great. Hope to shut up all these negitive frickers.

quote:So painful to remember. I wonder if the younger set here knows something of the "why" we started losing and losing badly in '97. One of the main reasons most who remember would say was because a stubborn head coach refused to see that his Big Ten DC (Lou Tepper) was a bad fit for LSU. Tepper single handedly dismantled LSU's otherwise very talented defense with his impossible schemes. Coach DiNardo often looked lost out on the sidelines on game day that season, as if he couldn't understand what was going wrong. If there had been a Rant, we could have told him. But then, we'd have been labeled "negatigers" by the sunshine and rainbows crowd who were still chortling in their beer over the magic having come back the season before.
In 1997, we put the "Magic" back in LSU football and beat #1 Florida in BR.
Fast forward to 1999:
W San Jose St. 29-21
W North Texas 52-0
L Auburn 7-41
L Georgia 22-23
L Florida 10-31
L Kentucky 5-31

3-8 that year; 8 in a row!!. While not likely, 6 losses is very much a possibility. Don't kid yourself.
Now, connect the dots to today's situation... is there a stubborn HC at LSU? Does he sometimes look lost on gameday? Ok, it's the OC this time and not the DC, so there's a difference for ya. But if the team goes 6-6 or 7-5 this season, even 8-4, with all this talent in LSU unis, would someone suggest that there might be a small coaching problem at LSU?
