LSU ranked again.

[AFDawg]

What, other than name, makes them a better team than us?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

We should be top 10. We had us a big win.

What, other than name, makes them a better team than us?

The "name" is the game with pollsters. We need another decade or two of bowl trips and winning seasons to get that "name" status.

 

[missouridawg]

It really is mind boggling.


Best Wins: They beat current #21. We beat current #25.
Losses: They lost to two unranked opponents. We lost to current #21 and #3.

I guess beating Syracuse, BYU, and UF, instead of BYU, LaTech, and ChasSo are big enough wins to overlook a 30point head to head de-pantsing.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

It is definitely turrible. Almost as turrible as Penn State being #2.

The force is strong with the Big10 voters.

 

[missouridawg]

I don’t get the Penn State ahead of UGA stuff either...

It is definitely turrible. Almost as turrible as Penn State being #2.

I pray to the the heavens above that Penn State is the four seed in the playoffs against Bama. The spread will be about 10. And Bama will win by 30.

Having LSU in the top 25 is ridiculous. There is no justification for this at all. They lost to Troy at home and looked like dog crap from start to finish. But, that gives Dan Mullen a rare victory over a top 25 team, so there's that.

The real and only poll that matters comes out in a few weeks.

 

[FlotownDawg]

LSU lost to us by 30, lost at home to Troy and then beat a terrible Florida team by 1 and overrated Auburn by 4 and they're top 25 ahead of us? That's terrible. All about the helmet logo.

Exactly. We’ll be well ahead of them in the initial playoff rankings if we don’t **** the bed against Kentucky.

Coach O found his Voodoo Doll

No holding that Tiger now.

That's what they think anyway.

If we played them again next week, they would likely be favored...right or wrong.

 

[MaroonNation]

Easy answer. They improved as the season went along. They also beat two ranked teams in back to back weeks even though they lost to Troy prior to doing it. Also they they only got boat raced in one game, against us. We got absolutely destroyed by tow teams in back to back weeks. Again, in year whatever Mullen is, we should not get beat like we did against Auburn and Georgia. I’m not saying we should have won those games but we Damn sure should t have been destroyed like we were.

 

[RocketDawg]

Beating Syracuse, who just beat Clemson, probably plays a big role in it.

Our two losses are fairly recent, and we got drubbed; their big win over Auburn was very recent, and their loss to us was way back when. All those make a big difference to the pollsters.

 

[was21]

Essentially lost those two games with the big play in both cases. Speed makes the difference even if you might know it's coming

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

So when Ole Miss beats them next week will Ole Miss be ranked?

 

[thatsbaseball]

ESPN needed for them to be ranked for that time slot.......

They DID get healthier than when they played us, but Auburn had that one or two games on the road most teams have where the wheels just come off and the offensive genius just withdrew into a shell. They let LSU start getting running yards and their version of Kevin Fant have time to throw the ball.

It was a good win for the Cajuns but not enough to leap over us and other teams into the top 25 unless ESPN or CBS needs it to promo an upcoming game.

 

[MaroonNation]

Where will that game be? If it’s in oxford I fear OM may beat them.

They best get him a fat contract extension before someone snatches that mastermind up.

And Kentucky has more votes (8) (others receiving votes) than MSU (3).

Easy there bud. "Overrated" Auburn boat raced us by 39.

Hope not, but wouldn't be surprised. It kind of looks like LSU is one of those teams where you don't know which team (the good or the bad) will show up from one week to the next.

Oh, think that game will be in OxSnob, btw.
