    They’re guessing we end up 15 ...

    A 44-3 TRUE BACK BAYOU ASS WHIPPING & 1988 PAYBACK was possible and was deliberately not inflicted on MU would have moved us up to around 11 or 12

    NOTE
    AUBURN @ 6 in both polls
    GATORS cracking Top 25

    Auburn Line still at Preseason +11.5?
    Vegas is stupid but not retarded ...

    What does an Auburn win mean to LSU?

    Top 10 Ranking (certain), greater nation exposure & respect and being the hunted again

    In guessing 18th or 19th. Voters are going to say it was because Miami was overrated.

    I’m good with that. I don’t want any bullshit going to our heads. They have work to do to improve and the rankings/respect will continue to come. Herbstreit already issued his apology along with a few other pundits. Spears is back on the wagon as well. Every single SEC West team (plus UGA, UF and SC) is riding a high right now. It’s going to be a fun season.

    Bleacher Report has them shooting from Unranked to 12. I say 15 is about right.

    As LSU heats up, Coach O's seat cools down

    http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24561555/as-lsu-heats-coach-o-seat-cools-now

    ..... the seemingly interminable search for a capable starting quarterback made its latest stop on a guy who wasn't even on the roster six months ago -- there was little doubt what the reaction would've been to an LSU loss to No. 8 Miami, despite the Hurricanes' preseason ranking

    ..... On Sunday, it was the Tigers who looked deserving of the higher ranking and the Hurricanes looking nothing of the sort.

    The Tigers, and especially Orgeron, needed this one. Indeed, Orgeron was all smiles following a 33-17 spanking of the Hurricanes, drastically flipping the narrative surrounding his team in just a few hours.

    swaying as the LSU alma mater played following the win, the coach smiled, waved and yelled. "We one-and-oh, boys! Yeah! YEAH!"

    Depends on other games results the next 2 weeks and how we win (assuming we do). If we win in dominating fashion and another squad gets knocked off or struggles we could crack top 5. That would be 2 wins against top 10 teams away from home in 3 weeks.
