re: Ive seen this twice since the preseason polls came out

Stanford is the closest relative to an sec team anywhere in the country, they could beat Ohio state, Clemson, Florida state and Louisville. I don't honestly know who would win between Stanford a d LSU, I haven't seen this new LSU offense or our young defense so I have no clue what LSU is going to look like. That being said, they would probably e fourth of fifth best in the sec, but they get the higher ranking because they are not in the sec. They have 2-3 tests on their schedule a.d the rest pancakes, so I agree with their ranking. Keep in mind, these aren't power rankings, or even ranking the best teams, it's a projection OC how it will look when the season ends.
