Seriously not upset LSU is at 16...

BUT to prove your point...

Any writer who put USC ahead of LSU should be banned forever....losing their last 2 while they have the HEISMAN trophy winner on their roster, USC should NOT be ranked in the top 15.

TCU doesn't even belong in the top 2, much less #2. Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, Tennessee and LSU would all trounce them.


You do realize that they actually beat Michigan in their semifinal game.

It’s the first time they finished ahead of Louisiana in 2 years

Any poll that has TCU in top 4 has zero credibility!

If anyone needs more proof of how stupid and useless the AP poll is these days, Tennessee beat Bama


And LSU beat Bama and won their division. Yet, somehow Bama gets a better bowl and top 5 finish.

Silly voter polls are utterly irrelevant in today's game. They're a joke.

Ignore all of them.

Who cares. It was a good season that exceeded expectations.
We were unranked at the beginning remember?

The only legitimate grip any LSU fan should have is being behind Utah and K State as 4 loss teams.

Otherwise, LSU shouldn't have crapped the bed vs a bad A&M team

Should be at least 14th in K-States position. BAMA waxed them and we beat BAMA. Just saying.

head-to-head games are a factor, but not the ONLY factor in assessing two teams, which a season-long analysis.

Bama finished 11-2 with two last second losses to very good teams. We got crushed by Tennessee and lost badly to a bad A&M team. Also lost barely to FSU (a good team) and UGA (uh, they were good).

So,….for me it doesn’t matter because there are not 15 teams ranked above us that could win a game against us home or away.

Remove Michigan. They’re lucky too. With that said, I think Michigan is better than TCU.

So every team that won their bowl game moves up except LSU???
Utes lost bowl game by 2 TDs, that's 2Ls in last 4 games, plus losses to 6-7 UF and sissy shirt UCLA.

All they see is the loss to the A&m team that has a losing record and they ignore everything else.

Honestly I'm more interested in us being in top 10 on all the Way-to-Early top 25's that's come out.

Kelly screwing the pooch against TAMU was inexcusable.

Kelly finishing ranked at all is an accomplishment considering what he inherited. Definitely went above my expectations

That's what happens when you play fewer games. Don't be penalized for playing in a conference championship, or rewarded for not!

The polls are all about marketing. They must put a few teams from each P5 conference in for arguments like we are seeing now.


No there not. They take the average of like 30 different ballots . How the hell can that have an agenda
