More national love

LSU fans shouldn't be complaining about a lack of respect this year.

The Sporting News is ranking the Tigers No. 2 in the nation in its preseason football magazine.

LSU, which finished No. 3 in the country last season, is seemingly headed for consensus top-five status heading into the season.

That could be good in the sense that you need to be on the radar if you have national title aspirations.

It could be bad if the Tigers can't handle the high hopes of not only fans but the pundits as well.
