Anyway, I think the poll did its job. I don't think it's a knock on Texas at all, but when you have a one-man gang (or if that's the opinion of the masses), that reliance on one player can bite you vs another big-boy team.

This poll doesn't suggest 19 LSU would beat 05 Texas 8 out of 10 or 6 out of 10, but in a one-shot deal, gun-to-your-head, it'd be the team most would pick to lose to the Bayou Burreaux.

Thanks for playing.
