They've played two ranked teams and we've played five (at the time).



This is an exceedingly stupid qualification.


So if a top 5 team is supremely overrated in the preseason, just because you were the first to expose them means you still get the say at the end of the year that you leveled a top 5 team?

The computers adjust your SOS all year based on the results of the field, not by a static image of the team when you played them.

Its why the WVa loss to Syracuse was expected to trickle down and hurt LSU's computer ranking.

Other than Miss. St., which of our ranked opponents was so vastly overrated?

I chuckle every time I read we beat x amount of ranked teams (No disrespect to poster). But let me ask this can... someone tell me the last time a team lost the moved up in the rankings?
