The LSU Tigers are still the defending BCS champions until somebody proves otherwise.

The brand new 2008-09 NCAA college football season is ALMOST here, kicking off football season that we have been missing, a lot. On that note, can the LSU Tigers, after cracking the uncrackable team from Ohio State, win it again this season and celebrate a re-peat?

The LSU Tigers will enter the 2008 season with 693 victories, the 12th most in NCAA history, and the 4th most of any SEC team, behind only Alabama (787), Tennessee (771), and Georgia (714). LSU will also enter the 2008 season with a 0.640 all-time winning percentage, the 14th best in the NCAA, and the 4th best in the SEC, behind only Alabama (0.706), Tennessee (0.697), and Georgia (0.644).

This LSU football team started having the success they’ve been having after they won the BCS national championship in 2003 with a 21-14 victory over Oklahoma in the Nokia Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Five years later, they did it again, beating the Ohio State Buckeyes with a 38-24 score, thus becoming the first team since the advent of the BCS to win multiple BCS national titles.

LSU is ranked as the number one team both in the AP Top 25 and USA Today. Yes, the nation agrees that this team is a powerhouse in the college gridiron and being a national powerhouse has its advantages.

One of which is easier recruiting. The Tigers already have top-tier speed and talent throughout the entire roster, from receivers to linebackers to water boys. As their starters graduate or go pro, there always seem to be an All-American backup waiting for his turn to shine and be a part of LSU.

And despite the fact that former defensive coordinator Bo Pellini has moved on to take the head coaching job at Nebraska, the Tigers will still be a consistent and well-coached football team. Les Miles has established himself as one of the top five elite coaches in the nation and you can bet your ass that as long as he remains in the LSU sidelines, the sky’s the limit.
