What other team has looked better than LSU? LSU isn't flawless, but we have a strong team. I have concerns and a few doubts, but we deserve our ranking at least as much as any other team. I give a fair amount of credit to Tulane, they played like men with pride. They hit us in the fooking mouth and we didn't like it too much. But we wiped the blood from our mouth, went into halftime with a 1 point lead (as crappy as we played, that is a huge accomplishment) and took over in the second half.
Just wanted to point out that, after 15 penalties, 6 sacks, 13 or more hurries, a gimpy starting QB, two injured receivers, and those infernal white helmets (kidding about that one), LSU still manhandled the Greenies. And South Carolina is a very good team, with a very good pass defense. I think in retrospect, LSU is playing exactly like the number 2 team in the country - they had a bad game but still dominated. Wouldn't you agree?
