Has LSU lost respect on a national level?

Seeing these rankings absolutely makes me think so.
We've never gotten the respect an Ohio State or Alabama would get even if we had the same record against similar competition. For example; not even looking at the fact that we're 1 spot ahead of a terrible Tennessee team that just lost to Vandy. Or Auburn dropping only a couple spots after getting beat convincingly by Alabama.
We dropped 11 spots despite keeping it very close until late in the 4th quarter. Michigan and Clemson both lost to unranked teams this year and stayed in the top 5 the week after.
We lost 4 games and by no means should be in the playoffs but just feels like LSU has become looked at as a Michigan State, Penn State, or VATech type of program. Basically, we're capable of being a contender but we won't get the benefit of the doubt the way other programs do
I don't mean to beat a dead horse here but it doesn't seem that LSU is respected on a national level.
ETA: I understand that a significant portion of our fan base has difficulty reading, so let me say that this is in no way, shape, or form related to our recent coaching hire. I'm simply asking if LSU's brand seems to have lost respect with the media post 2011

Remember media hates LSU.

The media is focused on the chaos surrounding the program and discounting the ability of LSU to field a competitive program. Jmho
Silver lining; Auburn going to the Sugar means more revenue generation in hotels, car rentals, plane tickets...etc

This shouldn't be unfamiliar to you remember how USC split the national title with us in the 2003 season for no particular reason but the AP felt like it?

This place is getting ridiculous. Most of the media praised the hire.

Yes. Last years coaching debacle hurt.
It is pretty crazy that a team who lost to Air Force and USF is ahead of us.

Well losing 4 games tends to do that. Win get respect lose and be thought of as mediocre. You are what your record shows you to be. It's not because of who is coaching.

We were considered a playoff team earlier so I'd say no.
Now having fans slobbering over pos like kiffen and briles is hurting the image of the fan base ,but that image has always been bad...

Dude we lost 4 games this year
won 7 lost 4
It does not matter that more than likely we should have beaten Wisconsin, Auburn and Florida. We played Bama tougher than anyone.
LSU has not lost national respect, we fired a coach who could not lead this talented team to championships. The game left him behind, a great guy and rich but no longer a hungry coach that could win games.

Only if we fail next year, then I get to see what my family was talking about in regards to an LSU of the 90's.

This is the epitome of Dana White's saying of "don't let it get to the judges." Win all of your games and you don't have to argue about people'S opinions getting in the way.
Hate to bring you know who into the convo but media is arguing that they don't even need to beat Florida (which I think is bull) to be in the playoff.
I'm honestly shocked that Michigan fell to 5.
