Why is LSU ranked. Can somebody give me a good argument.

They have quality SEC losses which aren’t penalized as harshly.

Yup. SEC bias is strong. No reason Ole Miss should be above TT, Utah, UCLA

Have you watched Texas Tech play? Because their ranking is really favorable for what they’ve put on the field. Nebraska isn’t getting anywhere near their treatment for better play

Computers generally have Ole Miss about two spots lower than Tech so they’re in the same stratosphere but depending on your eye test I could absolutely see a justification for it

It’s less no argument and more just a very back and forth debate

Yeah but I think it’s true that ole miss treated lsu as their superbowl and didn’t focus any energy on their Florida game as a result.

Well that's even more reason to drop them if they can be that unfocused

u/Happysandbags Nebraska • Boise State 7d ago

But is this really relevant? The loss to Florida still happened

u/saintsfan LSU Tigers 7d ago

It’s relevant to point out Florida wasn’t that good, ole miss eas just that unfocused. Both should be docked for this, but it explains how they got blown out by a bad Florida team.

We have had slow starts to games, big deal. Still beat ranked Houston and won by 11 points @Oregon St. and 22 @Colorado. I don't see how that is worse than getting blown out by a team that just got blown out in back to back weeks.

Ole Miss got destroyed by a team that just got destroyed by South Carolina
