How often has a top 25 team beat another top 25 team and win by 20 over the spread drop in the polls?

I guess they felt that they couldn't move us past Ole Miss, but had to make room for UF. It's bullshite, but meaningless at this point.

It was all pretty fair until you realize BYU stayed ahead of us after a bye week. I think dominating aggie is more impressive than sitting at home.

It’s irrelevant in September. The beauty of our schedule has always been that we only have to win to have a chance of competing for championships. We don’t need any help from voters or polls, just win our games

AP voter psychology is very simple. BYU undefeated, LSU has loss, BYU deserve to be higher.

I’m also annoyed that Indiana is still top 10. You can’t be in a 2 point ball game with 2 minutes remaining against Northwestern at your home stadium and still be regarded as a good football team.

Another one that annoys me - Florida being behind Alabama. How can you possibly compare those teams through 4 weeks and have Alabama ahead?

BYU jumped us and played no one, not just this weekend but all season. Greg S. Bambino hit job!

It is meaningless. We have a road game in KY in two weeks. Things could change by then.

I like it. Fire up the guys and keep them motivated.

LSU will drop from 11 to 20 after they beat a ranked Kentucky on the road and ranked miss state at home apparently

AP is meaningless... 2 of the voters left Miami out of their top 25 all together....

Polls mean nothing until the CFP poll comes out. Just win.

Just win out and we don’t have to worry about the polls

Their ranking at #3 is vexing. I understand that they get the Notre Dame preferential treatment, but that is WAY too high given their schedule.

It's the lane effect this year, it's us against the world. Winning fixes all

If LSU makes the playoffs, prepare to be fricked on seeding by CFP too. It is what it is.

I think it’s pretty accurate considering the play and competition. Also the injuries. All that matters is we are in the top 12 come December

Maybe so, but it's a Lot Harder to play & win against a very tough schedule as LSU does; especially when you're never rewarded for a "good" loss! Texas' loss at Ohio St last year comes to mind...
