      Is this a little low for the LSU Tigers? I think NOT. In fact, I don't feel real comfortable having them that high. The SEC needs LSU to rebound from last season. Sure, they had a 10-win season, but you can't ignore their last game against Clemson. It was pretty rough, and it was to an ACC team. You know, that pathetic ACC.....the conference that the SEC should roll over every year....
 
 Here's a look at LSU's schedule.
 
TCU (Neutral Site)
UAB
Kent State
Auburn
At Georgia
At Miss. State
Florida
At Ole Miss
Furman
At BAMA
Texas A&M
Arkansas
 
     It's not a favorable schedule for LSU this year. The Tigers have Georgia, Miss St., and Florida in a three week stretch. To make things interesting, TCU is a wildcard and could come out with an upset to start the season. I mean, let's be honest...... I look at this schedule and I could easily count four losses. Obviously, LSU could vastly improve and turn out to be a solid team in the SEC again this season.......but that's my point.... The Tigers might be the toughest team to predict this early on. LSU struggled on offense in 2012, and the defense had clearly taken a step back from 2011. The question marks are there heading into the season. One good thing for LSU, though....... If LSU can get passed TCU without any injuries or other problems (a loss), then they have a couple games to get settled before they are truly tested. I'm not real comfortable with LSU at 13, but it's all I can give them at this point.
