true, and ours will go up some with more SEC victories under our belt. Auburn really screwed us this week. That was a gimmie. South Carolina sure isn't helping either.

I dunno how this is going to shake out but I am kinda worried that lousy out of conference scheduling might hurt LSU if things broke wrong

That fear is not as pressing as it used to be though - with the prior opinion poll #1 and their conference kinda tanking... now it does seem likely to me that the sec and big 12 champ have a good leg up on the competition

There's no way we will catch Alabama. They are on fire this season, and their three road wins have been blowouts, and they play us this year in...Baton Rouge!


Other than beating them and then we catch and pass them.

As far as I am concerned, ESPN don't know shite compared to LSUMatt. Call me when he updates his predictions and then I'll listen to ya.

ALL LSU has to do is finish #1 in the human polls and its all gravy! No worries!

Right now we are #3 in Coaches, and #2 in Harris. Just keep winning and those computers won't have much to say about anything!

Our computer scores are killing us.

22, 3, 15, 21, & 10

But only having played 4 games, when most have played 5-6 already, coupleded with the fact our biggest win @AU is now a two loss team we are lagging behind the others.

We are currently #2 in human poll averages (.9152) while mizzu is (.9100)

Only 5 of the 6 computer polls are publised yet, and without dropping our highest and lowest numbers, we have a computer average of (.472)

Even the publishers of the computer polls will tell you there are huge diviations this early in the season. They require a full season of games to complete they matrix of who is better then who....

Win the West with no more than 1 loss and the SECCG. The rest will take care of itself.

of the 6 computer polls you throw out the highest and lowest polls. since there are only 5 polls publised and the 6th wont publish until the 19th i didn't drop any numbers.

USC is 22, 3, 15, 21, & 10 in the five polls as of today.

EDIT: also computer polls are 1/3 of the total point total, with the two human polls being 1/3 each as well.

Also, BYU, Texas Tech's comp rating is (.192) & (.264) respectively. and they are both higher then USC in the Human polls.

Sounds right. LSU's strength of schedule---to date---is horrible (esp. because of N Texas).

That'll change soon enough.

No its not hatred of LSU - god - what is wrong with you people. We are 4 - 0 against a weak schedule. Based on the "body of work", there is no reason to expect higher at this moment!

Any of you insane rantards, need to give the koolaid a break and simply support the team and stop bitching about who says what. Disagree, sure, but enough with the "world and espn and the pope" hates us - its completely counterproductive!
