Still the 7th best team in the SEC?! Time will tell…chance to correct that with SEC schedule just ahead.

JumpingTheShark•32 months

Rankings don’t mean shite, just ask preseason untangled Michigan who is in the CFP

JumpingTheShark•32 months

fricking autocorrect unranked**

Vernonbrew22•32 months

I blame this all on Dick and hope a vital organ gets shoved up his arse. And yes, that made no sense!

Pas Bon•32 months

Does Dick Vitale make these rankings?

wesman21•32 months

Its like they intentionally started us off at the bottom. They wouldn't dare put us over someone like Ohio State who is 6-2.

xGeauxLSUx•32 months

I mean, their losses are to Xavier and UF. Our best win is Penn, right? The other wins are pretty much cupcakes.

Geaux Guy•32 months

Dang. Was hoping to remain unranked.

Freddy238•32 months

Alabama beat Gonzaga and is still ranked lower than them and have the better record. Can someone make this make sense to me.

genuineLSUtiger•32 months

And the run to the top of the charts begins.

75503Tiger•32 months

The best thing about basketball is that it gets settled on the court. We can be unranked at 32-0 and it still won’t matter

BleedgurpleTX•32 months

It matters when seeding. Seeding helps in the long run…

DemSaintsDoh•32 months

5 total teams are undefeated, and we’re one of em. We’re ranked 25 and both #5 and #6 have 2 losses? CBB rankings are hilarious.

JG77056•32 months

We’re one of 7 undefeated teams that are ranked and Minnesota, Wyoming and Colorado St are all undefeated and unranked

HTF4U•32 months

sched has a shitload to do with it..once we get into SEC play we should start to shoot up in the rankings...

MasonTiger•32 months

Must’ve been painful for them to squeeze LSU in there at 25.

otowntiger•32 months

7 SEC teams in Top 25. Not bad for a football league.

weeble•32 months

Rankings are worthless in basketball. The only thing that matters is getting an invite to the tourney.

rockynoggin•32 months

100% this.

LSDBU•32 months

seeding in the tourney?...

Robber DeNiro•32 months

Yes right lol proof it's not worthless, see LSU fans crying about not being ranked!

The basketball community does not like upstarts like Wade breaking into their clique. Plenty of time for things to sort themselves out.

colbycovington•32 months

Upstarts? Wade has been coaching twice as long as Musselman in college and they've been in the Top 25 all year long so I don't understand what you're saying.

CanebreakCajun•32 months

I think he means the talking heads do not like Wade, so those who vote will ding us whenever they can.

RoyalWe•32 months

I'd rather the AP continue to disrespect the team.

wesman21•32 months

FINALLY.

CanebreakCajun•32 months

Lol. LSU will be 15-0 and be #24.

otowntiger•32 months

Lol, yep. And they could finish the season with 30 wins and be a 6 seed.

Fstez63•32 months

What a joke
