If LSU soundly beats Auburn by 2 tds or more you may see them at #2 come next sunday! Why? The media wants an LSU vs USC game.....the defending champs will get priority......they know that Florida will loom in 2 weeks so it will be a battle of top 5 teams!

So sure we could! Just depends on how good we look when we do it!

No, because our qb's are "sucky" and we don't belong anywhere near USC (BEST TEAM EVERRRRRR!!!), even in the polls.

You are dreaming

If we are still undefeated after beating UF you might have a point.

LSU will not score twice on Auburn's D.

Yeah, but we will score on your offense and special teams.

I'm not dreaming.......Fowler already said he is ready to see LSU play a worthy opponent.....Your telling me if LSU rolled Auburn by the same score as USC we wouldn't move up above the others? Your crazy.

Matt Hayes and numerous other sportswriters are using this game to gauge the defending national champs!

Now if we won 28-14 then I don't think we see a signficant jump but if we but the beat down on em you can't say it would be impossible!

As long as no plays like the 4th down "incompletion" call from 2006 doesn't happen, yes we will.

We will jump some folks, but we will not instantly jump back up to 2. That was the crazy statement.

Another reason is because of the top 5 teams......LSU would have a win over top 10 with USC!

Rankings = Poop... We were #1 when we played R kansas last year and dropped to # only to get back to #2 in 2 weeks.

JUst win baby! Rankings will take care of themselves.

No matter how much we win by, we need teams 3=5 to lose to move up.

Right. Possibly right after the AU game if we win convinceingly, i.e. instantly.

There is no chance of that happening unless we do something absurd like drop 50 on them while shutting them out--not going to happen.

If we are undefeated coming out of the UF game (and we are their first loss), I wouldn't surprised if we jump whoever is ahead of us to the #2 slot.

I seriously doubt this because with Florida/LSU on the horizon, they will see no need to drop Florida behind us unless they lose or have a really horrible win. Otherwise, I'd bet the pollsters keep them ahead of us with a, "let them sort it out on the field in a couple of weeks" attitude.
