Maybe LSU fans are too critical and a third party can view it without too much bias/emotion?
The ranking takes into account the poor performance of the Offense but gives credit to the Defense/Sec game/First road game etc....

They are able to view the forest and not just the trees?
Excerpt -
quote:


Why The Ranking Should Be Higher: There’s no such thing as a “bad” win when you outscore rival Auburn at night in front of a jacked up crowd. The LSU D is once again air-tight, holding the Tigers to just nine first downs to remain in the top 10 nationally in just about every statistical category.
Why The Ranking Should Be Lower: Zach Mettenberger just might not be the answer after at all at quarterback for the Tigers. He had a rough time against an average Auburn defense, raising concerns that LSU might be the same one-dimensional offense in key games that it was a year ago.

Our defense is absolutely insane, anyone worried is overreacting so hard.

I disagree with the mettenburger assessment.

No big deal imo. Even if they put FSU above us and we dropped to #4 I wouldnt be mad. Its understandable after a shaky outing, and it will all sort itself out.

yep. if lsu continues to win, the rankings will play out in their favor. there's a bunch of top-10 matchups on the horizon for them. they'll be the ones leapfrogging people in the rankings if they continue to win, even if it is ugly

There was another article by CFN I believe that basically said the same thing.

This is redux, same old story, same old Les...LSU/Bama will be a repeat of the National Title Game and not the earlier regular season matchup. Stubborn stays as stubborn does. Defense is great, offense - no growth, no change, no creativity...high schoolish and easy to defend as usual with a great D-line. Les has not matured past just out-muscling people at the line. Works great when you are playing U-dub, not so great when you are playing Bama.

I don't care about rankings but at least they have Georgia second and not Oregon. Georgia has had some solid wins this year.

I'm sorry but scout has less legitimacy than ESPN
