So does LSU keep getting whipped because the SEC is so awesome or just because they are overrated?

It's not as much as it is the SEC being ard then it is LSU being way overrated. Only reason why they were ranked high at the preseason poll was because they are defending national champions, but now since they've lost there QB, they aren't good at all. Once they faced 2 teams who are actually good, that being Florida and Georgia, they were exposed as the mediocre team they are.
