It's possible that he did not give it much thought.

He probably believes the Dr. Pepper commercials with Lane Kiffin are real.

It’s pay back; there is some serious hate for Kiffin/LSU. This is just a reflection to what is coming IMO

Sports journalists are retards

It’s wild to me how that field is such a joke now. Sports reporters used to live and breathe the sports they covered.

They are much interested in anything other than actual sports reporting now. Journalism is dead.
and silly voter polls are irrelevant.

The Committee picks and seeds the playoff teams, so the voter polls are a relic from the past.

Ignore them.

Won't matter in a few weeks anyway. You about to find out how good LSU really is because they play a Miss State team that should be a consensus top 10 ranked team and a Kentucky program playing better than anyone expected.


No doubt Mississippi state is a good team, but they have beaten Minnesota, South Carolina and Missouri. None of the those teams have been setting the world on fire, and they were not beaten into submission like Clemson and A&M were.

Just saying, but for two quarters, LSU has been statistically dominating other teams.

Maybe Clemson and Texas AM are not good teams, but we beat them like they were FCS subdivision programs and did so Saturday without Green, Spears and Weeks.

I feel like this Board is overacting.

The voters should be audited by AI. Those audits then should be reviewed by a committee and extreme outliers like this should have their voting rights removed.

I refuse to believe there isn’t a grad from LSUs journalism school each year who loves and is knowledgeable about LSU sports and would kill for the chance to be our beat reporter for a year or two

I knew several when I was at LSU and there was zero interest in folks like that by the advocate

Instead they hire dildos from other SEC schools. It’s insane

Kress is a 20-something TV Sports guy in Lansing, Michigan who is from Lansing and living his best dream covering the Spartans. He would probably be amazed that his vote is a topic of conversation on a website called Tigerdroppings. Not sure whether he would be delighted, or put into a state of disquiet.

Kiffin effect. Like you stated, it’s inconsequential at this stage but there’s some real hate out there

Some of these voters prolly think LSU has pro players.

Anyone who thinks Iowa is better than LSU should have their voting rights taken away

Putting MSU ahead of us after their Mizzou win is sketchy.
Putting Utah ahead of us after beating no ranked teams is sketch.
Putting BYU ahead of us after beating Colorado State? Haha
Putting Iowa ahead of us is idiocy.
They beat a Michigan team that actually lost to Western Michigan.
I don't mind dropping a couple places because of UF but to put Iowa, BYU, and Utah in front of us is rich.

There was a time these clowns emails, and cell phones would be here for a brief moment.

Then we would do work.

Nothing burger bro. Ww got injuries. We will be lucky to be in top 20 by season's end if injuries keep mounting up.

The problem is the press pole should not be in the ranking system at all

They also got dominated an entire half by a team that just got completely dismantled by Florida. What does that say about LSU? We don't really know right now but on paper that doesn't look good for LSU if a team like Florida can dominate them so easily but LSU couldn't. Not only that LSU has stacked injuries that are starting to mount up which also impacts voting. Maybe it's something between like Ole Miss just came off an emotional win playing an underrated Florida team on the road or maybe they're just not as good as the media thought. Which in turn means LSU isn't as good either. Like I said above, it doesn't matter if you just win so who cares?

Texas, Florida, and Miss State have the best body of work in the SEC right now. All 3 of those teams should be consensus top 10 teams right now and teams like BYU/Indiana don't deserve to the sniff the top 10 right now. Florida and Texas should both be top 5 teams. Texas is getting respect but Florida isn't because they started the season ranked so low. Same with Miss State. Look at the 5 teams ahead of Miss State right now and tell me which of those 5 do you think deserve to be ranked ahead of them? They barely even dropped USC who lost to a horrible Oregon team with his second string QB. The fact Oregon is ranked ahead of Miss State is laughable.

My guess is that he moved Ole Miss down and had to move LSU down too. Stupid.
