[LTblows]

Absolutely pathetic. LSU is truly the 4th best team in the country. Sure.

 

[hotdigitydog]

than they usually are at this early point in the season......They have an easy schedule from here on out and the other teams in front of them still have some big games left to play........We all know LSU is gonna lose some games so they'll be in the top 4 before long.......I don't think they are as good as their ranking but nonetheless......I also didn't think they were going to beat Oklahoma a few years back either........

 

[mstate1977]

have been beaten thus far (should have been 11). Further proof that polls this early in the season are really meaningless.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Oklahoma, USC and Ohio State are back in the top 9 and can be talked about as national championship contenders.

 

[excrementoccurs]

This is the worst poll ever. Penn St. over Iowa. Okla St. over Houston. Cal over Oregon. OM over South Carolina. Ridiculous. These are the people that decide who plays in the championship game.

 

[excrementoccurs]

I'm sure ESPN is much happier with the SEC teams at the top. The ESPN/SEC lovefest is nauseating.

 

[821505]

Where the heck are they at?

 

[FlabLoser]

After decades of Big Ten - Pack 10 love, I'll take the SEC's turn at the marketing machine that is ESPN.

 

[Todd4State]

is 26th, which sucks in that I would like to see us have a chance to beat a top 25 team. I guess I'll just have to wait on Houston.

 

[davatron]

MSU and West Virginia. They beat down Ball State last night, which does not grant a T25 if you ask me. If they win in Neyland next week, then they should be ranked without a doubt.

 

[Hotel Roosevelt]

Granted, the new #4 is better than the old #4.

I was hoping Georgia Tech would slip back into the top 25, just in case we beat them this weekend.
