Just in case you were wondering who in the country is most likely to be overrated, let's have a look at the ESPN Experts national championship picks:
| Colin Cowherd | USC |
| Bill Curry | USC |
| Rece Davis | USC |
| Jim Donnan | USC |
| Bruce Feldman | USC |
| Pat Forde | USC |
| Rod Gilmore | USC |
| Ivan Maisel | USC |
| Todd McShay | USC |
| Joe Schad | USC |
| Mark Schlabach | USC |
| Robert Smith | USC |
Fear not, Tiger fans! For Feldman, Gilmore, and Schad think we make it far enough to be humbled by the Trojans. Anyway, the only way for SC to even meet preseason expectations is to win the national title. No pressure, guys.
Uh oh, sloppy scrimmaging two weeks before the opener has Les a bit unhappy. Meanwhile, let's hope we hear the Flynn to Doucet words early and often this season.
Minimal other noteworthy LSU news to report on, so let's go elsewhere and see what's up, shall we?
- T Kyle is not happy with SI's Stewart Mandel.
-
- Our Bama friends think we're deserving of the #2 spot in the country.
-
- Get some reading in about Andre Woodson over at A Sea of Blue; I doubt we'll hold him to a goose egg on the scoreboard this year.
-
- An interesting discussion at Rocky Top Talk on Tennessee's flirting with a 3-4 defensive scheme this year.
-
- Track 'Em Tigers has updates on the Auburn scrimmages, with some commentary that evidently true freshman backup QB Kody Burns may be used in a Tebow-like fashion this year.
