Incredible. Had Miami gotten upset by Virginia, LSU would have moved all the way to #1 in the nation in that poll. That's cooky talk.
I'm not buying this year's LSU team, despite the streak... they are good, no doubt, but not top 5... Next year's team however... these guys with another year and only losing 4 players... Next year I will have to buy another Advocate poster for my LSU room... "They're Back!" would be good...
