Why is an unranked team losing to an unranked team such a big topic for the national media

No one said we were supposed to be good yet they’re acting like we were a top 5 team

Because we are LSU. That used to mean something.

Just be happy they’re still talking about us.

probably because it was the only football game played on Sunday

Deep down they KNOW LSU has potential with Kelly as coach. Look at games back when O was coach.
Even on bad years (last two) we played Bama to the end. Yes 55-17 two years ago, but it was a LOT CLOSER than score reflected (should have been 24 with called back td in 2nd half). After that flood gates opened up. Last year was 6 points and a fluke play away. That’s ABSOLUTELY a threat this year and both teams know it.
AU and Arky last year were to wire. Thank God for 8&4, huh? With same result. We were a less losing version of Nebraska. If we start winning, anti-Kelly anti pro-O will shut up and then we will hear the real opposition come out “not LSU AGAIN!” THATS when you know it’s turned around for Kelly. In a way we are 90’s Miami right now…the villains. They’re hoping for incompetence, we are hoping to win

Even outside of the sports, media likes to paint a narrative they choose and drive it into the ground. In this case, “how could Kelly leave the northern liberal utopia of self fart smellers at Notre Dame and go backwards in time to a bunch of backwards swamp dwellers?!?”

Because LSU and Bryan Kelly are headliners.

It's LSU-FSU. Big name schools. It was the only game on. Primetime opening weekend. It was also a really dramatic game with a lot of controversial stuff to analyze.
News flash: The media likes all those things.

It has nothing to do with politics.
It has EVERYTHING to do with the obscene amount of money we are paying him.

They predicted we would lose 5 or 6 games and now they are acting like they predicted 10 wins.
In the real world, this is not a big deal. It's only a big deal to them.
It was supposed to be close,a 3 pt. game, and it was. Without the Steam screwups, we win by 3+ just like the prediction. No big surprises and no big deal.
Another truth is that both teams suck at this time.

If we didn't win the Natty 3 years ago, it wouldn't be a story. Our downfall the last 2 years was the headlines for the last 2 years. We have a whole new staff, and we lost a game, of course we're still going to make the headlines. If we would have won by 10, the media and all these fans would still be talking shite as if we should have won by 30. LSU will always have hype as we always have the talent. It's good to be the sleeping giant, so that one year we return to being dominate, everyone else can start crying again.
People watch practice and think they know anything on what we'll look like. There may be a legit handful of posters, and I'm literally talking 5 that might know what they're talking about. And these are not the ones with the largest post count.

Here is some historical points of time for context and to reflect upon given your post:
...searching for renewed relevence
Bring back the magic of Dinardeaux years (eventually petered out)
2000 Peach Bowl LSU started to look like a team with a future -- the sports news took notice. "Next Year, LSU should be ranked low teens"
What followed is root to answer your question
So regard it as a very positive thing about LSU's brand and reputation (that was not the case following the 1990s)

its a big story only because of the following:
the coaches didnt have the team ready or have their shite together as far as coaching, time management, and play calling
the players werent ready or have their shite together as far as playing the game
special teams coaching and play looked like no one spend even 5 minutes practicing it
its way way more then just a loss, its how and why we lost that is the big story

I was wondering why the ESPN headline story on Monday morning was, "Stunner in New Orleans!"
I never understood what that was all about.

We are the sports equivalent of Donald Trump? Purple & Gold team baaaad.

Fsu didn’t even get ranked this week so that tells you all you need to know

It is because all of the media members and LSU fans that somehow overlooked the massive overhaul of the LSU football operation to instead predict LSU to be a sleeper or picked them to surprise and win 10 games are all butthurt because "Kelly" made them look stupid.
They looked stupid all on their own. LSU is a 7-5,8-4 team if they play well. Always were.

Because BK left ND which created this strange “spurned lover” like narrative so for whatever reason it makes people feel good seeing BK struggle game 1 since he left ND for another big school.
