Florida has 2 consecutive end of season losses by an average of 28pts or 4 touchdowns and moved back a total of 2 spots

Forget LSU in the equation, any system that allows that is highly flawed.

Give us a system with a transparent formula. Let the teams and coaches know what needs to be done. Use whatever criteria in the formula, margin of victory, conference championships, OOC schedule, strength of schedule whatever the hell it is. I don't want to have to compete with the whims of a randomly thrown together committee for a money interested venture

Well, considering the #2 team in the SEC gets a NY6 bowl and this year the teams that could be #2 all had 4 losses, yes the polls do mean something.

People have been saying for years, we need to score points to win, and impress the voters. When we score ZERO v. Bama (something no other team did) we look weak

And how do we fix that problem? (after Jackass Alleva said he recognized offense was the problem) we hire a failed DLine coach


Expect more of this in years to come

I liked the BCS system. Use that with 8 teams.

ETA: I don't need Condoleeza Rice, Joe Aleva, or Buzz Aldrin telling me that team X is better than Y or Z.

Our ranking is bullshite, but we lost to both Auburn and Florida. We don't deserve to make the Sugar Bowl ahead of either of them.

Although I normally feel that way, See Louisville and FSU...

There isn't much consistency. LSU and UF both have four losses, but UF has the head-to-head. However, all of UF's losses were double digits leading to a 21-point average margin of victory in their losses which included a bad blowout loss to Arkansas. LSU's losses are by an average of 5 points to all ranked teams and they were tied with the #1 team in the nation in the 4th quarter. It made zero sense for LSU to drop as far as they did after losing to Bama. LSU had their chance against UF and blew it, but the rankings don't make much sense.

And yet Florida State is going to a NY6 bowl over Louisville.

You can say that LSU didn't deserve the Sugar Bowl, and that's probably correct...but Florida State is in LSU's position in the ACC, and they're getting a ticket to the Orange Bowl.

Absolutely Speedy...and what's worse is Florida got on the board whereas LSU shite the bed on offense against Bama.





So, UF's loss was more impressive than LSU's?
