This has bothered me some too. Notre Dame is higher than us because they deserve it.... Their loss was much better than either of ours and they’ve beaten teams better than our best win.
Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan State, USCw, and Oklahoma State, however, have worse losses than us and none of them have a significantly better win than us. Penn Stat beat Michigan. Ohio State beat Penn State. Michigan State beat Penn State. USCw beat Arizona. Ok State beat Texas/WVU. Penn State is the only team on that “beaten”list that is a better win that LSU and both of the PSU “beats”happened at home for Ohio State and Michigan State.
From what I can tell, there’s about three things at play here... our jersey, being blown out in our 2 losses, and BYU. Outside of LSU, the rest of our opponents have stunk and will continue to stink.
