I'm flattered but, come on! I don't think that Wisco game was #1 material.

AP Pollster Jon Wilner of the MercuryNews.com has LSU sitting on top of his top 25 poll at No. 1 following the Tigers 28-24 comeback win over Wisconsin on Saturday.

LSU is the only team with a win over a top 20 team right now. That's worth something.

Definitely, and I honestly think they should have been rewarded more in the poll (not that the AP matters). But I'm pretty sure very few of us on here are willing to give the Tigers the #1 after Saturday

That writer always has bizarre ranking. However, he bases his ranking on what the team has done. Some of it makes sense, but some of it really makes you scratch your head.

Come on guys, South Carolina is ranked #21 in the AP. Not a huge deal but it is technically correct that we are only team to beat an AP top 20.

If the intended meaning of that poorly and ambiguously constructed sentence really jumped out at you, I suggest you change your reading habits. 10th grade-level material would be a healthy improvement.

Agreed - we got the shaft. ATM blew up the rankings while giving up tons of yards. The fix is in!

It's a type of ranking that will make more sense as the season progresses. Any type of ranking before the midway point of the season is going to be flawed, imo.
