I love how some are saying we should be higher this week, but the same ones are saying we should have been out the top 25 for losing to Florida State. Man this is an interesting site.

Weekly ranking are fun as shite. It gives us something to brag or complain about for the rest of the week.

Way too early to give a damn about rankings. They are meaningless right now and just another distraction coaches have to deal with.

We in same exact position as last year. Our destiny is in our hands. Teams ahead of us will fall. Win win and we'll be there.

Im starting to think that some of those coaches are morons. LSU destroys a conference opponent at their stadium, meanwhile Bama barley gets away with a win over an opponent that they were a 34 point favorite.and they have Bama ranked ahead of LSU. give me a break.

I don’t understand how you penalize LSU for playing a top 3 opponent? On one hand they say yes FSU is legit top 3 team but then penalize LSU for losing the 4th quarter against them. This is just lazy ranking imo. LSU was beating them at one point, we stopped ourselves twice and it was the first game of the year? If they going to knock us down so much from one game then it should take one game to get us back into the top 10! There’s no way they can tell me there are 11 teams better than LSU right now. It’s just ridiculous. They do this for publicity purposes and to puff up schools in the eyes of the public, including recruits so they need to be fair about it. I hope we get FSU again this year too. We will very likely see them in the extended playoffs. I would be taking all those big games off of our schedule if this is how they’re going to treat lsu for having balls. Frick these people. We should be back in the top 10-7 after that road arse whipping we put on MSU. It’s not easy to do what we just did the past two weeks and we should be awarded for that product. But no they’ll wait until we face Bama to juice up the ratings before they rank us high again. Frick em all!

The Tigers are the top ranked 1 loss team. Keep winning SEC
games and they will move up.

Wasn't just a lost it was a blow out in the end and we were totally dominated in the second half. We are going to have earn the respect back. I'd rather stay in our position for a while and make the guys hungry
