He actually explains these things on the rankings show. He's used complete team. defensive metrics, top 19 wins and high quality wins all separately in different situations to justify the rankings. Either you aren't watching or just want to argue.

God damn, dude. Do I really have to do this little exercise for you?

Week 13 Rankings
Resume
LSU >>> OSU

Consistency
OSU >>> LSU

They decided LSU is #1 (LSU got the edge this week)

OSU defeats #8 Penn St
LSU defeats Arkansas

Week 14 Rankings
Resume
LSU > OSU

Consistency
OSU >>> LSU

They decided OSU is #1

OSU defeats #15 Michigan
LSU defeats A&M

Week 15 Rankings
Resume
OSU = LSU

Consistency
OSU > LSU

Edge goes to OSU for #1

OSU has destroyed everyone they've played. OSU's worst game is an 11-point win against current #10 Penn St (in which OSU was in complete control until they made mistakes that helped Penn St).

Mullens is just telling you what metric was the deciding factor THIS WEEK because it changed from the previous week - as you can see, these metrics are different week to week. I mean, you seem to be a smart, honest guy, can you really not infer any of this?

You're making this specifically about LSU and OSU when I'm talking about the overall rankings. But, if you want to break it down to just those two, if LSU beats UGA next week LSU will have the edge in all of those except this all year consistency thing.

IMO they think OSU is the best team and they are manipulating the rankings to justify moving them to number 1 last week after the media backlash. In no way do I think it's a conspiracy against LSU. I don't believe in any of that shite with the SEC or officiating or that the SEC wants Bama to win or whatever.

There are just too many inconsistencies in the way they try to justify the way they rank all of the teams.
