Tired of seeing this trash team start every season inside of the top 10 and get exposed by the first team they play with a pulse.

Make them earn their ranking

That’s two spots outside the playoff

Fraudulent is what they are.

For the last 10-15 years, they’ve managed to built a brand of beating up on mid-major schools while tactically avoiding P5 schools to inflate their records. Then, when they actually had to play powerhouse programs in BCS/playoff games, they got their asses served to them on a silver platter. Every single time.

As absurd as it is, Brian Kelly is probably the sole reason why they’re even relevant now. He made a massive push for their facilities to be upgraded and football budget to be increased. Before he was hired, they were in the gutter as a program.

You might not like the P5s they've been playing but they typically play 8-10 of them a year.

The guy made the BCS national championship once and the 4-team CFP twice back when those required perfect seasons. Lost 6 total games his last 4 seasons at Notre Dame. For some reason gets raked over the coals for not beating 2012 Alabama, 2018 Clemson, or 2020 Alabama when any one of those teams would run roughshod over the current CFB field.

Then took over an LSU program in the worst shape it's been in since the '90s and had some moderate success in a pretty brief period while the sport underwent an unprecedented transformation that has particularly impacted the SEC.

He's not Don Coryell but people talk about him like he's Chad Morris

Much like last year they can easily go 10-2 losing to the only good opponents they actually play.

They should have to beat a team in the top 40 to get ranked
