Perfection, that is what LSU nearly achieved last season after it barreled its way to 13-0 record and an SEC Championship; however, Alabama ended the Tigers dream with 21-0 victory in the BCS National Championship Game. Despite that gut wrenching conclusion, the odds makers believe LSU has what it takes to make another run at the title as the latest 2013 BCS National Championship Odds have the Tigers listed as a 4-1 favorite to win the AFCA National Championship Trophy. LSU is drawing 2-1 odds to repeat as SEC Champion and 1.5-1 odds to win the conference’s West Division.
LSU lost seven starters in the offseason, including quarterback Jordan Jefferson, defensive tackle Michael Brockers, and cornerback Morris Claiborne, but that has not deterred optimism in the Bayou. The Tigers are still loaded with talent and possess All-American candidates in Tyrann Mathieu (CB), Eric Reid (S), Sam Montgomery (DE), and Alex Hurst (OT).
