LSU still 2 in polls
LSU will not leap past USC until USC loses. There's just too much west coast bias going on, imho.
But I don't think in the end it will matter at all whether USC loses or not during the season because I don't see this LSU team losing at all.
I believe this is the best LSU defense we've seen yet and it is much more athletic and much deeper than even the one that won the national championship.
One main difference between that defense and this one is the LSU defense this year has some very gifted athletes at LB. This defense is just so good it's just stupid. LSU is going to make a lot of good teams feel pretty terrible about themselves when they are done with them throughout the season.
And I feel really sorry for any team that plays LSU in the Sugar Bowl for the national championship. Ouch...
