Prediction: If we sweep Florida and Kentucky on National TV we will be pushing top 10 next week.

18 is plenty high enough for us. thinking we deserve much higher than that is purple and gold glasses imo.

please dont compare us to marquette.



Where did I compare LSU to Marquette?

Simply pointing out the records of the teams above and below LSU and where the next same record team lies. You can say all you want about strength of schedule/conference, but there is a significant element of reputation, previous year measure that is being included in the ranking calculations.

Is there is a significant element of reputation, previous year measure that is being included in the #33 RPI rating?

I conceded the less subjective parts of the equation, I just believe that all else being equal (i.e. without the bias of the two points I raised), we would be ranked higher.

Xavier put it to us at home and are somehow now ranked below us.


so if you lost to a team they have to stay above you? with this logic it would be impossible to create a top 25 poll.

We aren't the 18th best team in the country IMO fwiw.

Or haven't played like we are at least.

we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. LSU could make a case for 14 or 15.

How does an 18th ranked team suppose to play? No losses? Beat everyone by 30?
