I see no reason why they would be ahead of us at that point. But that may well still happen.

They're not dropping 15 spots by losing at home to Auburn.

Exactly. But they would have lost to the same team we lost and us with the same losses as us and yet still ranked ahead of us. This new ranking system is bout to get challenged. Big time.

It's complete BS. People will be pining for the BCS before this year is said and done. The BCS had its flaws but transparency was not one of them.

Yup.

We exchanged a relatively imperfect but transparent system for a completely arbitrary and even more flawed system with even more human bias. I fail to see why we couldn't just use the old BCS formula to rank the top 4 and get your playoff that way. Oh well...

The WAY LSU lost to Auburn is what is hurting the ranking.

Ole Miss would have to lose to Auburn by 20+ to end up ranked below LSU with the same number of losses.

Yes, but Ole Miss with 2 losses needs to be below us because of the head to head which happened last week.

Even if we beat them head to head?

WE WANT AU to win?

I am watching the game & I want them both to lose.

I agree but I'm afraid the committee will somehow not see it that way (if OM loses)- unless they get beat badly.

This is my point. The hypocrisy and flaws are about to be exposed.

if ole miss loses they're likely to drop us in this off week with the contempt that committee seems to have for us.

I think it's less "contempt" than it is that they have absolutely no clue what they're doing.

That's what we get for putting a woman on it.

I've said since the announcement of the committee that it was going to be an absolute clusterfrick. That will be the case until some set criteria are put into place.

Ok, now let's see what this committee is made of. This is a pretty simple use case.

Does not matter until we beat Bama. If we beat Bama, we'll jump Ole Miss.
