The AP is an important poll. Essentially, all that this really means is that we're pretty much guaranteed a spot in the playoffs as long as we don't end up with more than one loss.

You don't think that even if LSU started un-ranked and finished with only one loss they wouldn't be in consideration for the playoffs?

The only spots that matter in preseason polls are #1 and #2. That's because the voters are lazy and generally will not drop a team from 1 or 2 until they actually lose. Ask 2004 Auburn. USC and Oklahoma started 1 and 2. They didn't lose a game. Thus, Auburn was shut out of the national title game despite going undefeated

Essentially, it means we appear in decline. Weren't we in top ten in past years?

Just jerking your chains, LSU kills it this year!
