🏈 This is a joke right?

[BAMAFSTBACK]

LSU at number 4?

:rofl:

 

[Crimsonblood82]

it must be a joke. USC, Boise State and Virginia Tech all belong ahead of LSU in my opinion. But going by the logic of the polls, if Bama only barely beats Kentucky, we should move up to number one....but if we blow them out, we'll probably stay number three....that's the same logic of moving LSU so far up after barely getting by Miss. State.

 

[BAMAFSTBACK]

And don't forget Auburn beat the mess out of MSU. I guess "Les" really is more!

 

[Crimsonblood82]

you're right BAMAFSTBACK, he gets "Les Miles" with better players

are you insane? you actually think that USC and VaTech belongs ahead of a ZERO loss LSU.

 

[bear facts]

LSU at number 4?

:rofl:

Yep, I was thinking about that yesterday-how LSU can leave Starkville totally outplayed except for maybe three or four times and now will probably move up two or three spots in the polls because of this past week's Top Five attrition rate.

Don't you know that Coach Dan Mullen has got to have an empty feeling in his stomach and must be scratching his head?

Look at the game stats between State and LSU.

The Bulldogs had 9 more first downs and held the ball for 33 plus minutes. Its defense held the Tigers to 30 yards on rushing 31 attempts. State's passing yardage was also almost equal to LSU's.

The glaring difference was return yardage. State mustered only 6 yards while LSU totalled 130 something (93 yards of it coming off one Chad Jones punt return for a TD).

State even had a great play called on 3rd and goal with LSU's entire defense biting on the play and allowing the MSU tight end to be wide open in the end zone--again Chad Jones saved LSU from defeat by deflecting the pass on a desperation leap.

I'm just glad that Mississippi State doesn't have a better QB. Every time Tyson Lee puts the ball in the air, there's a great possibility of something negative happening to the Bulldogs.

I've watched every LSU game this season (must keep the wife happy) and I'm not impressed, especially with its secondary play, and the fact that Scott, #32, is often wasted on offense.

There's a good chance the Bayou Bengals may have three losses by the time they head to Tuscaloosa. Then again they may end up pulling out some lucky victories like Norte Dame has so far. They (LSU) did yesterday, that's for sure.

I do, without a doubt, believe that Virginia Tech has a better overall football team than LSU does.

 

[planomateo]

LSU was lacking a running game against MSU, much like Bama lacked a running game versus Arkansas. Does LSU look like it use to...hells no. I can say that all the LSU fans I know, (not many) aren't very optimistic about the team they have on the field right now.

USC doesn't deserve to be in front of LSU at the moment. They barely beat Ohio State and lost to Washington. VaTech maybe, but saying Boise State or USC belongs in front of LSU is just silly in my opinion.

 

[Crimsonblood82]

yes I do, given how LSU has played all season so far. They are only undefeated due to an inept MSU offense that couldn't move the ball two feet into the endzone.

And no, i'm not insane...we'll save that criticism for anyone who believes that Les Miles is ever going to win another championship at LSU

 

[planomateo]

you mean lesticles

 

[Crimsonblood82]

Planomateo, i see what you are saying but we have to remember that the polls reflect (or at least TRY to reflect) who the best teams are in the country...not just who is undefeated. If it only went by record, hell Auburn would be in the top 10 'cos they are undefeated....but there are plenty one-loss teams ranked ahead of them

I just thought the USC was a BIG stretch statement and I would say the same for Boise State - as they haven't proved **** yet imho, other than they blew out Oregon at home. Boise state's schedule is crap.

VaTech, I might agree with you...but struggle with them being ranked so high after getting whooped by the #3 team in the nation.

This year is interesting as all the big names are falling early.

 

[slee]

The real reason they are #4 is because they are playing Tebow in two weeks need something to build up the game.:smile:

That and the fact that LSU traditionally is one of the national media's "darlins."

 

[ElephantStomp]

That LSU/UF game doesn't look as great now that Tebow is hurt. I think Va Tech is better than LSU and should be ranked higher. At the moment LSU is ranked where they're at because Lester has always been a media hunny.

USC I don't think is better than LSU, Boise St isn't that good. But, Va Tech is better and if I was ranking the teams I would put Va Tech ahead of Lester's Bayou Kitties.

[Nate]

I think VA Tech is the better team, however its nice having 3 of the top 4 as SEC teams

 

[gumboman]

I hope they are #1 by the time we play them. I hope everyone is undefeated and ranked ahead of us when we play them. We will hurt you!

I know a lot of LSU fans and you're right. They are mitchin' and boanin' about their team and their lackluster performance on Saturday. I just kinda sit back and listen with a half-smile on my lips. :smile:
