The AP has always has too much media input and media bias.


Since the Associated Press is made of 100% media, how would you suggest lowering the media input and bias? The idea is that LSU's beat writer bias would cancel out Bama's beat writer bias.

I could possibly get on board with eliminating ESPN personnel from the AP poll since rankings affect their TV viewership. However, they are paid to cover all of college football, so they probably watch more games than the average local beat writer.

How is Georgia 4? Did they not get destroyed by Bama and almost lost to Kentucky?

4-2 Vandy


Still not ranked despite a win over #1 Bama.

Yet 4-2 Michigan and Ole Miss still in Too 20 with no good wins.

Should be above Alabama


Honestly I’d rather them be ranked ahead of us when we play.

Makes a win look better

It's not all about LSU/ Bama bias cancelling out.
You have yahoos in Ft. Wayne not giving LSU a single top 25 vote b/c he hates Kelly.
The AP poll is full of crap like this...

The AP Poll is in the OP’s post. The Tigers are #8 in the AP.

I do have to be objective now - Bama has a better win: UGA at home vs OM at home, and our losses are comparable. 4-2 Vandy on the road and 3-3 USC at a neutral site


You’re probably right but I can’t wrap my head around being #7 and losing to Vandy. Still think we should’ve jumped Bama.

Ole Miss dropped a lot more than I thought they would.

Nuss= higher chance of him getting hurt running
Is the risk of losing him an his abilities worth the risk ?

We should have beaten USC. We'd be sitting at #3 or #4 right now.

Every top 10 team besides Texas has had lucky wins this year. A lot of parity this year.

Why would anyone think LSU is top five in nation when they are not even top five in SEC?

With a win next week vs Arkansas and a Georgia loss to Texas and a Alabama loss to Tennessee. Lsu will be ranked in the top 5 with everything they want to achieve right in front of them. This season is setting up nice for Lsu to make a run

If those were the playoff rankings, LSU would play at Alabama in the first round.


Wouldn’t 8 play 9? We’d play Iowa state in tiger stadium. I like our chances there lol

Have you not seen how Tennessee and Bama look? Hell Georgia didn’t even look amazing vs State. LSU is most definitely a top 5 SEC team.

I’d even throw A&M in there at this point. Need to see them take care of business at State to confirm.

Texas, Georgia, LSU, Bama, A&M. That’s the top 5
