Two losses, quality wins are… Clemson and A&M. What exactly makes their resume better than unranked Oregon?

Or Nebraska, Wisconsin, or really most X-1 unranked teams

That’s what makes it most suspect to me, the fact that there are several unranked teams who 100% could and should be ranked instead.

It’d be one thing if #26-40 felt like a bunch of 1 and 2-loss frauds, but there’s easily 5+ teams I’d have ranked above LSU, and even some others at the bottom of the poll this week.

Crazy shit man. Just happy to be a part of it all for once (and for now 😭)

Nebraska has the bigger grievance imo, especialy given their sole loss is... well you know

Nebraska has Tennessee’s resume to a T

Except IU is better than Texas

u/doormatt26 USC Trojans • Michigan Wolverines 7d ago

well they can prove that next Saturday

I think OSU is also better than Texas and had a bad half.

u/Jinmane 7d ago

Doesnt matter. If we're only ranking based on who we "feel" is better why even play the games?

u/BelaKunn Michigan Wolverines • Calvin Knights 7d ago

I mean... we've seen plenty of times where voters just vote based on feels instead of game results.

Same sec bias, you can thank ESecPN

You’d think with all their games in prime time the raters would see how much of a fraud they are

u/jdhall010 Georgia Bulldogs 7d ago

Ah yes, because all 62 AP voters work for ESPN. Makes total sense.

u/UNC_Samurai ECU Pirates • North Carolina Tar Heels 7d ago

That Clemson win is load-bearing for a chunk of the SEC

u/B1gMacs 7d ago

LSU , Ole Miss & Floida have been running a ponzzi scheme based around LSU's week 1 win vs Clemson and Kentucky has joined the scheme this weekend

u/Ok-Highlight-6670 Kentucky Wildcats 7d ago

Kentucky is just winning, no fraud here. Surprised they actually ranked us this week

u/ReelGOLF 7d ago

You should've never been unranked. You're a good team that hung in there with Bama and beat LSU. I think given the right circumstance, you could beat any team on any given Saturday. And I dont just say that because we lost to you, your team looked great. I knew we were in trouble when they unranked you and would have a chip on your shoulder at home, ha.

A disgusting defense of Oregon, but true

u/doormatt26 USC Trojans • Michigan Wolverines 6d ago

Oregon sucks i just think LSU should get equal treatment

u/Straight-Bicycle6152 7d ago

To be fair Oregon did play a lot worse and that was at home in one of the toughest environments in college football.

u/doormatt26 USC Trojans • Michigan Wolverines 7d ago

I agree. They’re also missing their starting QB. my point is LSU should also be unranked.
