I've never been one to put a lot of stock in preseason polls; however, I think there's enough talent coming back/new talent that would warrant a top 25 showing in the poll. I suppose the new coaching staff and uncertainty at QB are factors. In any case, I can't see us remaining out of the top 25 for too long.
seems like perfect bulletin board material for Coach Kelly and the new staff. I'm like NVT, I don't worry too much about preseason polls. We play in the greatest conference in the country. If we play well and handle our business, the polls will take care of themselves.
That's perfectly fine with me! LSU has always played best when they were the underdog. Maybe they will play with a chip on their shoulder and surpass everyone's expectations!
Get on the field & prove it! What did anyone expect, after 2 consecutive losing seasons? Getting Blown out by Kentucky & Ole Miss among others doesn't help our case & certainly doesn't smell like Top 25., does it?
I don’t really care about starting polls. The entertainment for me is wrapped up mainly in the top 25 head scratchers. The picks that cause you to go “WTF.” I can be real about LSUs starting spot. But, some of those above us leave me saying…really?
they have the ducks at #12,.. probably too high,.. we have talent, but we have an unknown situation at QB,.. and a first time rookie head coach with all new young assistant coaches as well,.. still, i'm excited to see how it unfolds,.. i like what i hear i've been a duck fan since 1974, this is our first defensive minded head coach in all that time we play georgia in atlanta on september 3 @shane,.. what do you think?.. can we get a couple, three more seasons in before the college game totally turns to shit?
The reality is preseason polls are simply to generate interest in the upcoming season. Compare any preseason poll to the final poll and they are not even close. I'm ready to show it on the field!
They mean even less now than they used to. During the BCS days it was important to start high because you might not get a chance to jump someone ahead of you. In the CFP era, win all your games (or even just almost all), and you're in.
