I'll be rooting for Joe. I always root for LSU. That doesn't mean I want people to promulgate false or innacurate statements. We should leave that to the Gumps.

Last AP poll ? ,ok, If you were around then, you know there were lesser known polls.

And, yes there were lesser polls. The NCAA recognises 3 polls that year. The UPI(Coaches Poll), AP, and the FWAA. The FWAA inexplicably selected 8-1-1 Iowa as the champ.

Tiger Fans should not tout the AP Poll, the same poll that voted USC Nat'l. Champs the same year that Nick Saban led LSU to the Nat'l. Champ.

The AP and Coaches poll have always been the go to polls prior to the BCS then the CFP Championship. And there was always controversy. In 2003 the AP decided to "flex their muscles" so to speak and not follow the lead of the BCS and put the winner of the champioship game at #1. This was due to the fact that the BCS put Oklahoma in the championship game despite the fact that USC & LSU were both 1&2 in the AP and Coaches poll.

Look, you are clearly a Tiger fan and I applaud you enthusiasm. But trying to draw some sort of parralells between this season and 1958 are just not accurate.

Also, that halfback pass was a thing of beauty.
