I honestly don’t mind the #2 ranking right now

Everyone is getting all torn up about OSU jumping LSU in the polls. I kind of like it to be honest.

Rankings don’t mean shite until the final polls come out, and even then the difference between playing the three seed and four seed really doesn’t matter - still going to have to beat the next best team to win the Natty.

I hope LSU stays number 2 and Young wins the Heisman if it means that LSU will have some extra motivation to win.

Don’t forget, the two titles that LSU won recently were as the 2 seed, “underdogs” in the eyes of the pollsters, and the one we lost was as the 1 seed.

As long as LSU stays hungry, no ones gonna stop em.

It's no big deal. I can't figure out why everyone's bent out of shape.

I wouldn’t call it upset. I would call it pissed because of the lack of respect.

It’s the lack of respect towards LSU and the harder schedule they played. The only reason you could use is they seem a little better on defense at this time.

Of course I want JB to win the Heisman, but you understand the point I’m trying to make.

Every team plays better when they feel disrespected.

I understand the feeling everyone has, and I’m sure the players and coaches are using it as motivation.

No one will care that LSU was #2 for a period of time if it ends in a championship ring.

IMO if in a few weeks it looks like Bama is out the committee will move LSU back to #1. It's so LSU at #1 dosen't play #4 Bama to start it off.

If you need extra motivation at this point you are probably in trouble!

Being number 1 gives you a mulligan. I don't think we'll need it but it's always good to have. Ohio State would have to lose twice to fall out of the top 4.

Are people worrying about the #2 ranking because they fear LSU will drop one of the next two? If LSU loses to A&M or UGA then I have a hard time believing they would beat both Ohio State and Clemson.

I do think if Utah ends up being the 4 seed, then playing Clemson instead of Utah in the first round is an actual disadvantage.

I do think beating A&M and UGA soundly will propel LSU back to the #1 seed.

Same with me - I don’t mind one bit.

Honestly I’d rather the number 2 ranking, but I just don’t understand how we’re not number 1 right now. It shouldn’t even be a question as to who should be number 1, obviously we should be. It does give this team more of a chip on their shoulder though and this team loves to prove people wrong. Disrespect and doubt has gotten this team and Coach O to this point, so it will do nothing but help us when it’s all said and done. I see us kicking some arse in the Superdome whenever it’s all said and done.

A year ago if anyone told us we'd be the #2 seed in the playoff we'd all take it gladly. It's Thanksgiving, time to be thankful.

People need to chill out. If the guys beat A&M and beat Georgia in their backyard for the SEC Championship then LSU will be #1. This last poll did exactly what it was meant to do.. get clicks and create controversy

I don’t understand the hoopla either. If anything it plays into our mindset.
