re: LSU #2 in Coaches, #3 in AP, #2 in Harris

it's absolutely irresponsible to rank usc ahead of georgia

It will all sort itself out. There really is no reason to freak out at this point. The only polls that matter are the one's after the conference championship game. If we beat Bama, Florida, Georgia (and provided we don't screw up the other games) and win the SEC it won't matter where we, Bama, UGA, Florida, etc. are ranked right now. If we lose one game and win the SEC, we will still most likely be in the BCS. We lose more than 1 game or lose in the SEC, we are out of the BCS championship. It really is pretty simple. So who cares where Bama is ranked right now. It doesn't really matter.

Don't see the problem. LSU plays GA and Bama at home -- they better STAY night games!!!

LSU controls its own destiny.

Regardless of the rantards opinions, Saban is obviously the best coach in college football. He's taken TWO underperforming programs to top level in the last decade.

Typical AP, they go with the hype...check that they create the hype around a particular team and worship them. Looks like Bama is the new USC in the sportswriters eyes.

As will LSU

I have always thought Polls are absolutely worthless this time of the year.

BUT with that said, in my opinion it is just plain dumb for Bama to jump ahead of LSU - the defending champion that has won every game since last year's title game in fairly convincing fashion

It's all hype-based garbage

I have to respectfully disagree. He hasn't taken Alabama anywhere except to the recruiting national championship. Alabama was off to a fast start last year also. We all saw what happened near the end of the season.

Great win by Alabama, but let them worry about where they will be playing in January while we worry about LSU.

The AP is ridic. not even a #1 vote. c'mon
