re: Tim Brando on WWL last night

No. You totally missed the point. If Brando held the opinion that we were not one of the best ten teams in the nation (because of the QB situation or because of two years of losing first rounders to the NFL, etc.), then I would disagree, but I wouldn't call him an idiot. My problem is that he said he did not have LSU in his top ten because of the strength of our schedule. By that logic, you are ranking teams based on a mix of talent + weakness of schedule and that is bullshite.

It wouldn't matter that much except for the fact that you have an equal number of pollster idiots (probably including Brando) who rationalize that you can't jump a team that won their games ("did everything they were asked to do" they like to say), even if that menas you can't jump, let's say, a West Virginia if they beat Pitt and Rutgers just because you beat Florida and Georgia (never mind that you were only ranked behind West Virginia in the first place because you had Florida and Georgia on your schedule).
