The 34-24 score was a little too close for comfort against Mississippi State, but the Tigers still won the game and also have that marquee win at Auburn.
Timothy Croley #1
Well, they are the defending champs and are still undefeated. Why not? We'll see if they are truly deserving in the next few weeks.

(previous: 3) The beneficiaries of my top two from last week (USC and Florida) tripping up and falling down. A workmanlike performance against conference rival Mississippi State last week, but the Bayou Bengals will need to maintain their focus and not get caught looking ahead. Nevertheless, they did what they needed to do. Warning, though: may drop a place next week due to the ever-present opponent, BYE. Next game is @ Florida on Oct. 11.

Someone explain to me how so many teams are getting jumped in the polls this year after winning games. LSU took care of business with their win against Mississippi State after an emotional win at Auburn. Charles Scott should get Heisman hype after his fourth straight 100 yard game. Jarrett Lee looks to be taking control of the offense in Andrew Hatch's absence. The defense allowed the Bulldogs to move the ball and score late in the game. LSU gets a well timed bye week before travelling to The Swamp.

If LSU somehow plays well through the SEC and only ends up with one loss or even goes undefeated, we could see a 2003 NC rematch with Oklahoma.

I just have that feeling that the Tigers are going to have a Trojan-type of loss where they are beaten by a double-digit underdog. Until then, they stay this high.
Josh Rosenberg #2
Once Alabama is out of the picture they will be reestablished as the top team in the Sec. For now they're in a close tie with the Tide.
Joe Barton #2
Despite losing several key starters and Ryan Perrilloux in the off-season, the Tigers are looking very impressive. After the comeback against Auburn, LSU is the best team in the SEC, in my opinion. They have many weapons at the skill positions and aren't having to rely so heavily on thier young QB, Jarrett Lee. This team is loaded and could make it back to the BCS title game.

Typical LSU football, great defense. Even with the loss of Glenn Dorsey, the Tigers remain a defensive powerhouse. They improved to 4-0 over the weekend with a victory over Mississippi State.
Jared Reback #3
Steady as she goes. Solid win against Mississippi State.
Benjamin Crane #3
Chad Metz #3
The defending national champs are one of the few unbeaten teams left in the nation. The next month will prove if they are true contenders.
andrew johnston #3
great defense, and Jarrett Lee looks promising.
Dan Boss #3

While it wasn't a win over a top ranked team, the fact that they still won convincingly keeps them in the hunt for the SEC and the BCS.

The Tigers managed to survive a Top 25 bloodbath and beat Mississippi State in workmanlike fashion.

Last years champ still very much in it to repeat.

Solid play but defense did not dominate this week. They may be challenged before the end of the season.

Ugly win... but a win nonetheless. At least we didn't get Croomed.
Bryan Gonzalez #3
Now that they have their QB the Tigers could make another run at a national title.
Michael Shibley #3
Charles Scott has taken the pressure off the QB situation by running for 100+ yards in all 4 games.

James Doker #3
LSU has the second-best win (after Bama-UGA) of the undefeated teams by beating Auburn.
Mark Balhoff #3
T.J. Beard #3
The Tigers get the third slot only because of the win over Auburn. A couple late scores by Mississippi State made the score closer than what the game was.

Looks strong but needs to improve to whether the SEC.
David Morgan #3
Until they lose in the SEC, they are the the team to beat
Derrek Croney #3
The defending champs simply take care of business, and get a bye week to prepare for Florida.
Joe Bleacher #3
I can't doubt Les Miles. His teams are prepared and their offense is looking solid. More will be determined about their defense when they play Florida and Bama.

Playing a so-so game against Mississippi St. gives the Tigers no claim to move up in the polls.
Chad Haynie #4
Jackson Smith #4
Still a question at quarterback. But athletes everywhere else on both sides of the ball. We'll know how good they are when they play Florida in a couple of weeks.
Adam Lindemer #4
Still didn't look that impressive against Mississippi State. They need to be on the lookout in the upcoming weeks.

A better defense puts them a fraction ahead of Mizzou.

Jarrett Lee looks legit, and Charles Scott should be getting Heisman consideration when the season is over.

We'll see after the Alabama game.

Undefeated but the win over Auburn looks less impressive now that Tennessee played them so close.

LSU remains at number five in the nation, still undefeated, but almost caught the upset bug from Sylvester Croom's Mississippi State Bulldogs.
jon s #5
I am not a big believer in this team but for now they deserve to be number 5. I expect them to lose at least 2 games this year because their quarterback play is too inconsistent. They have looked lazy and uncaring in 2 of their wins and I think their best win is a very overrated Auburn team. Having said that, they have great running backs and receivers...as well as a great defensive front. Two weaknesses: Secondary and quarterback. I do not expect them to finish in the top 5.

They didn't pound Mississippi State like they should have.

The Tigers are clearly not the best team in the country, but they somehow manage to win games. Their day is coming. It has to.

Outlasted scrappy Mississippi State at home.

No convincing wins, yet. (Auburn doesn't count...)
Pete Dymeck #6
The situation at quarterback is still a little iffy but the defense is one of a kind. The secondary is better than expected.
Bill Wilson #6
A good team but how well will they play when they go to Florida. We will see.
Pierce Young #6
Derek Stephens #7
Not impressive vs. MSU, but can really look good vs. Florida in a couple weeks.
Nicholas Pardini #8
Despite quarterback problems, LSU still has continued to win with top talent at every other position. Their upcoming trip to the swamp will determine whether this year's Tigers can defend their title.

Plenty of opportunities for Les Miles and his white hat to show just how good they are.
