..and if they beat Bama they barely move to 13 . If they lose by 1 point in the final seconds, they drop all the way down to 40.

I think the performance against Bama would suggest the drop. If Lsu were to keep it within a touchdown you’d think a 1-4 place drop. If you get housed, likely a 5-10 spot drop.

Yep. Calling it rankings is absurd. It's more of a ladder system.
