Michigan has played teams with a .500 record and NONE are considered a good win PLUS they are busted.
Washington did beat Oregon. I think ultimately Oregon gets revenge and is in the playoffs.

Top 3 offense, middle of the pack defense. If the defense clicks, LSU is tough to beat. Big if…

Because the AP poll is put together by a bunch of media hacks and exists to pump up certain matchups for the writers to create stories about. #readyfortherealpoll

Wait...you mean to tell us that the sportswriters who never buckled a chin strap and who have a vested interest in generating interest in a prime time game against Bama on network tv have elevated LSU's ranking to a closer number than Bama's?

Shocking...
