No. 1 LSU Tigers (Current Ranking: No. 11)
Can LSU jump ten spots in just one week? It may seem improbable but the preseason rankings are based on little more than preview magazines.

Given the magnitude of the matchup, LSU's blowout win over Clemson is the most impressive of any of the top programs' victories.

There is no question based on what we’ve seen to this point LSU should be ranked #1


We were the only team that played anyone with pulse and we fricking dismantled them and absolutely buried a coach and program that won two national championships in the past decade.


That doesn’t mean we are the best team in the country, but the voters have no choice but to put us in the top 5 at least.

Oxford going to be an absolute nightmare in two weeks

Clemson might not have a pulse.

If they are ranked #1 it will probably only be for one week; with the winner of the Texas/Ohio St. game moving to that spot after week 2.

Olemiss plays a ranked team and if they win they will be number 1 before us. We break the top 10 I don't see them ranking us in top 5, bias is a real thing

Every good media comment salivating about the team is rat poison.

It’s up to the coaches and the team to be able to handle that.

Rankings are a joke in Week 0-1,…. let’s see after Texas/OH St and then LSU/OM then you start to see who should be ranked and in what order…

With recent events LSU does mot have many media friends outside Louisiana so don’t expect a high jump in rankings.

Not concerned with rankings at this point.

Seriously? A rankings thread after one game?

Just end the season now and hand out the trophy I guess.

Obviously. How else will you ever get teams to play big out of conference games unless there's a substantial reward?

After last night’s throttling they may not. Has anyone checked in on Dabo this morning?

It was good to give the practice squad guys some rest for 2.5 quarters. Thank you for your service Clemson

No matter how bad they are, they are much better than most of the teams played.

There is no way we aren’t in the top 5.
