Lol - comical
We beat 5 off those top 10 and #2 soundly. Fun fun.

This thing is as dependable as saying Clemson had the number one defense.

If I'm running things at ESPN, I sit down with this guy and go over his formula, to get him to explain how he put LSU anywhere but #1.
And then I show him the door, and wish him luck on future endeavors
Like others have said, that shite is seriously flawed as a "Power Ranking".

LOL. their formula is broken. it doesn't include our X factor
X factor? It doesn’t take into account actual games or facts.

What a waste of time....
These asswipes should make some adjustments especially after the Natty is decided, and at least put the champions #1 on their list

The real reason this is a problem is in an interview after one of the selection shows, Rob Mullens cited the FPI when they were ranking the top 6. They need to throw that in the garbage where it belongs.

At some point you have to look at your formulas and factors and realize, “you know what? We didn’t get this right. Time to tweak”

This is why I hate the Big 10.
People like to hate on the SEC because they "talk trash". It isn't talking trash if you actually back it up.
LSU is a lot better than Ohio State. Bama is a lot better than Michigan.
F*** this stupid FPI crap.

If this is true, then we need commentators talking about it until they openly state it's not relevant.
LSU left no doubt in either game, and still #3. That tells me the "formula" is useless.

Why even put that out there ESPN

I kept telling people that poll is garbage. It should be obvious now for everyone.

Somebody needs to tell Herbstreit and ESPN that thing needs to have a factor put in for beating a team on the list ahead of you
And losing for a team behind you.

Funny how we beat #2, who beat #1. I guess we should have walked on water.
