Does it really matter? Has LSU done anything worth getting excited over? All the talk will stop if LSU goes to UGA and wins. Who really cares since LSU still controls it's own destiny anyway?

AP Voters
Here are the AP Voters. Gottlieb and Fiutak are not contributors. Fiutak writes for CFN which has LSU at 15 this week. Herbstreit put LSU at 7.

Fituiakfk has been like the biggest LSU fan in the media for the last 5 years or so.

And he's one of the best.

This should tell you something.

Imagine Doug Gottlieb being critical of LSU. How original.

These guys aren't "reporters". They are entertainers. They do no actual reporting without their personal opinions/bias. Gottlieb commentating on football is like Corso commentating on baseball.

Phony indicates that LSU pretends to be something they are not.

I dou't think LSU has anything to do with their current ranking, beside win. The voters decide this stuff, not the team.



LSU is what it is, the people who vote are to blame if LSU is ranked too highly.

Gottlieb gets his biggest paycheck, which is probably no more than in the $1000/month range, from OKC's "Sports Animal" radio network, which now touts itself as the largest audience "per capita" in the U.S. What they fail to say is that the OKC marketplace is right up there with Mississippi in the "capita department".

He is a joke, as are many of these OU homers - as I stated in my post yesterday, the OKies are actually being pretty nice about our team - they only predict us to be a 3-loss team, not 4,5,or 6 like some of our own fans!

Same reason they rated Ole Miss #4 last week.

Based on their play, they are very overrated.


Finally someone who gets it. Instead of powdering the players and coaches asses, as many on here do, they should know they are under performing. The players want to play big time college football and the coach wants to coach at this level to the tune of $10,000.00 per day. The scrutiny goes with the territory.

Futaik has been one of LSU's biggest proponents the last 5-6 years, that he's reversing field says all you need to know about LSU's team this year

Is it LSU's fault that so many top 10 teams lost last week and they climbed the rankings by default?

Absolutely correct on all points. And Doug Gottlieb is a sharp guy, hoops background be damned.

Means alot coming from a guy who was thrown out of Notre Dame because he stole another students credit card as well as personal property. He is a complete douche bag/criminal who should have gone to jail instead being allowed to transfer to OKA ST. Cowherd Junior.....They think they know everything and are real funny but I would love one of these athletes to knock the shite out of them.... them both

and last week they were saying that Miami was the best team and that both Florida State and Miami "were back."

The game is played on the field, and hopefully our Tigers will prove themselves worthy of national respect with their play. If not, then let the media move on to their "next big thing."
