Jefferson is the new Jason Campbell, that's why.

This. Once you've earned peoples respect you get the benefit of the preseason doubt to prove yourself. Do I nescessarily agree they are top 5? With George Jefferson at qb that's a pretty tall order given his past performances. However, given the teams past performances I can certainly see how they are getting the preseason love.
I'm amazed at what Miles has done in spite of JJ. Until JJ can play several good games in a row,I don't see them as a top 5 team. Look at Florida and Texas last year. JJ would have killed Urby the first season.

LSU has been good for a while and has some damn good talent. I have no problem with people ranking them high. Do they have issues? Yes they do, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them do well.

I never really thought much of JJ one way or the other til I watched him in LR last year. After watching him just kinda fold up it's hard for me to have a lotta faith in him. I suppose ole Lester must be doing something right. Either that, or the LSU athletes sure make up a bunch of ground.

Jefferson's consitency over the years is what has LSU ranked so high at this time of year.
I hope that was sarcasim because the only thing George Jeffereson has been consistant at is sucking balls.

Then why is LSU so highly thought of in the media and is rank 1-3 in most major polls? The only conclusion that I can come to is that LSU has a damn strong football coach.
yup. they just don't want to admit it though.

I think they are rightfully ranked highly because of the depth and the lack of a real weak spot. The team doesn't really have any stars, but collectively it is hard to find a place on the team (other than maybe QB) that is not really solid and experienced.

Pre-seasons ranking mean "squat" -- high or low.

I can't speak for LSU or any other team other than UGA but my perspective of Georgia is that we send a lot of players to the NFL who apparently had insufficient supporting cast to form a solid team. Richt has been good at recruiting top skill players but his recruiting in the trenches where it counts has not been good especially on the OL. Meanwhile teams like LSU and Alabama seem to build on a foundation of solid offensive and defensive linemen with superior defense and conservative power offense to control most games. Auburn was a bit of an outlier last season winning mostly with superior offense and a defense that held offenses just enough to allow their offense to outscore opponents.

According to @barrettsallee
"Media is 4-for-19 picking the SEC Champion, and 0-for-5 when picking either Auburn or Alabama."
Not that they'd have any reason to, but I guess they'd also be 0-for when picking Arkansas.
