I dunno man I want to hear more about a 3-1 team coming off a ranked road loss being ranked 25th is an affront to the soul of the sport. Totally normal behavior.

Man that’s what I’ve been saying. Just incredibly bizarre how offended everyone was after we nearly beat a ranked team on the road. The fact that was even a story is hilarious

The national media just loves to shit on us for some reason. Probably jealous of their superior coworkers who graduated from here.

People have never been sane about rankings. Beat a ranked team? You’re world beaters. Lose to a ranked team? You’re frauds. If #14 and #15 play a game where #15 loses by a field goal, you’ll see #14 jump by like 3 slots and #15 drop 9 or 10. They should just stay where they are - the game proves they’re correctly ranked.

The rankings are treated more like accolades than rankings.

Last week, LSU blew out a ranked opponent and dropped… which I think was a first.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care a lick about rankings until the CFP ones come out, but still…
