No one should be upset if the reason they are upset is because they somehow think LSU ought to be playing its way into the plyoff this season.

EVERYONE, and I mean EVERY COLLEGE FOOTBALL FAN, ought to be upset with Ole miss at #4 and LSU at #19 if they are interested in a system that somehow reflects reality.

In order to get those two numbers, you'd have to assume that the committee had to have had Ole Miss between #1 and #3 and LSU much further back. So...the committee just moved Ole Miss between 1 and 3 spots down after losing to a team which had to have been outside of their own Top 25 at the very least. And that's an assumption that LSU got a bump after knocking off the #3 ranked Rebs. In reality, we have no clue what the committee took into account with these rankings.

That makes absolutely no sense. At all.

This playoff thing is going to make actual college football fans (those who own season tickets and/or pull for specific teams rather than passive fans that will watch whoever is on) long for the early days of the BCS once we start getting playoffs that are clearly designed to place teams in based on ratings or match-ups rather than what's actually happened on the field.
