Yep. These are the real rankings to me. Don’t give a damn about records.

The way so many other SEC teams are ranked ahead of us with two losses, and those teams are getting blown out in their two losses, makes me scratch my head why LSU isn't ranked ahead of them. Maybe only Texas should be above us. Don't say Ole Miss, because if our matchup is played in Tiger Stadium and we wouldn't have stole their coach to make it their Superbowl, we win that game.

Also we have blown out all our opponents in all our wins, the rest of the two loss teams have not.

Its always a better indicator than records or random polls. Using a few power ratings in conjuntion is the way to go in my opinion

And Oregon is ranked 11? I hate to criticize people’s hard work, but these rankings are shite friend. They are about as worthless as the AP poll

With the NIL leveling of the field, it won't be long before the NCAA adopts the NFL system based on record alone. No popularity contest involved.

Yeah, at a quick glance its interesting the 2 outliers are the Big west coast teams Oregon and UCLA. Switch those 2 and probably have a really good ranking.
