Final AP Poll. LSU 18, MSU 19. Huh?

[FlotownDawg]

The hell? Same record but one team beat the other by 30 points and didn’t lose at home to Troy. Some lazy *** voters voting for the helmet logo.

It's probably just me but college football seems to be getting more 17ed up by the hour.

Tells me voters think more of Troy than OM.

That's what happens when you lose at home to the worst Ole Miss team in a decade.

It's how you finish. Although winning the Gator was good and helped, losing to the bears hurt.

Well just prepare ahead of time for preseason rankings and the “expert” preseason picks for order of finish in the SEC. you are about to see lazy so called journalism on full display once more.

We finished with a win. LSU finished with a loss. Everyone knows the reason LSU is ranked ahead of us, and it has nothing to do with either teams wins or losses.

I think it's because they beat Auburn and we didn't.

Without a coach and against a Heisman winner !

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

My prediction, we are 3-5 spots behind Florida in the preseason polls and 5th in the West. The "experts" will cite coaching turnover as why we will be worse than this year. Yet Florida and A&M will skyrocket due to the offensive geniuses taking over.

I am just waiting for the year when the "experts" forget about us completely and don't even pick us to finish last in the west. They'll just trim the west down to six teams and can't figure out why it looks weird.

It's how you finish.

Care to try again?

 

[Dawgzilla]

How much thought do really think the voters put into spots 11-25? Particularly in the final poll? No one cares, and there's no accountability.

Glad to see UCF up there at #1

Alabama #2
Georgia #3

I hear you. In all fairness though, it probably has a lot to do with where both teams were ranked going into the bowls and who they played. We were 24 they were 16. That is a pretty big gap.

We did rise 5 spots which on cursory review appears to be as big or the biggest jump of anybody. LSU only fell 2 spots but then they lost a close one to a higher ranked team. I agree we have a case but it isn't hard for the pollsters to do us no favors. We should have beat the loansharks.

In other notables bama vote was not unanimous. UCF got 6 first place votes.
