The first ever College Football Playoff rankings were announced on Tuesday night and LSU was slotted at No. 19. Mark Schlabach reported in this ESPN article how many "BCS guru's" believe that LSU is better than some of the teams that are ranked ahead of them:

In fact, of the 24 teams that were ranked by both the committee and the former BCS computers, 18 were slotted within two spots of each other. The biggest discrepancy was LSU, which was ranked No. 19 by the committee and No. 12 in the BCS proxy standings.
"The way my program looks at LSU right now is they have two losses, but they lost to Mississippi State and Auburn," said [Richard] Billingsley, a stress-management expert from Hugo, Oklahoma, who still publishes his ratings online. "Conceivably, LSU could be the fourth-best team in the country. They have LSU at No. 19. I'm surprised the committee didn't look more closely at LSU's games. To me, they're a better team than a lot of the teams ranked ahead of them."
