[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 1165221, member: 2843"] I listened to the D1 Baseball podcast that 'reviewed' the weekend. The pod was done before LSU lost on Mon and Wed; but the 3 dudes on that pod were still quite high ('not worried at all') on LSU despite admitting they'd been lackluster through Sun. My anecdotal thought is (unfortunately) these guys (D1) .... who have influence with their commentary and poll... are super slow to come off teams not living up to their expectations. We tend to attribute it to SEC bias ... maybe that is in there ... but they don't really discriminate. Any team they are high on before the season begins ... is not going to be penalized for a couple of mid-week losses in the 1st few weeks of the season. They see the "talent" and the "great coach" ... and just can't imagine LSU is not a top 5 team. It will take more losses. Now.. if you're just looking at Ga Tech relative to LSU.. maybe we jump them; but only because that wouldn't take a lot of movement for either Ga Tech or LSU... but we need to go 3-0 this weekend.
