The USA Today coach's poll has LSU #2. I don't think we deserve that ranking, at least not yet. Georgia did fall to #11 when I didn't expect them to drop out of the top ten. (They're #10 in the coach's poll.) Oklahoma is #1 in both polls, which is not surprising at all. LSU has an open date next week which gives them time to rest and recover before going into the toughest part of their schedule. At Florida, at South Carolina, home against Georgia. They take a break against traditional opponent Tulane and then return to SEC action against Alabama. They need to win four of those five games. It's going to be tough.
