Damn Strong Team of 2007

I knew LSU had beaten 5 of the top 15 teams, but it's nice to see it when compared this way.

Up until this year I always thought that was our best team. We were beat to shite with injuries that year.

Too bad your top 15 ranking doesn't include results against teams not good enough to make that top 15 list.

Like, oh, the two teams LSU didn't beat.

the in season rankings are so fluid, they just dont hold the same weight as an end of the year, full body of work, ranking

You mis-read the post. This is the FINAL AP Poll, at the conclusion of the season, and the records of how each team fared against the FINAL 15. This is not about in-season rankings.

i get the list is the top 15 of the final poll, but the records are at the time of the game, per the OP

By "when they played each other" the OP meant "against each other." It could've been worded better.

tiger in texas, thag was the final ap poll. we beat tOSU, Tenn, UF, Auburn, Va Tech. we went 5-0 against the top 15. No one else in the final top 15 even played five games against top 15 opponents. tOSU, played 1, LSU. Shows how overrated they have been all these years.

I think you are reading too far into it.

Records when the top 15 played each other.

Not rankings when they played each other.

It's each schoosl record against teams ranked in the top 15 of the final AP poll. So LSU's 5-0 means they played and beat 5 of those teams on that ranking in the original post, which is the ranking fo the top 15 FINAL AP POLL.

Let's say Auburn was ranked 51st when LSU played them in October. That ranking does not come into play, because at the end of the season, the team was the 15th best team in the nation. So this is the best way to look at it.

After all is said and done, out of the top 15 teams in the country, after a season's body of work, LSU beat 5 out of the top 15 teams.

Exactly! dgnx6 understands.

Southern Cal got one first place vote,and finished #3 in the poll yet they did not even play anyone who finished in the top 15 in 2007. LSU had two OT losses in 2007, but they beat 5 teams that finished in the top 15.That is Damn Strong!

With the nice wins LSU already has after 11 games, it seems they are very likely to outclass the rest of the field again. We'll see.
Beat the HAWGS!!
