Alabama
loses their big home games, backs in arse first to title game due to other teams slipping up and ESPN protecting it's investment in the conference
I like to go on the record and note this was NOT posted by an LSU fan

The 90s don't count. Should only include BCSNC era.

We will still get blamed

Lol, no one is taking that post serious.

Lsu wasn't ranked preseason 7 yrs in the 90's, so it's not counted in the ranking.

Ohio State and Michigan, don't play anyone in conference and are continually ranked on name alone.

Why pick a random year like 1989?
Oklahoma is one of the handful of elite programs in the country. To say OU is overrated is laughable.

Who said anything about just LSU! Talking about everybody!
Posted on 5/5/13 at 9:51 pm to Ostrich
The tag of overrated for OU comes from consistently having the talent but choking consistently. Now even you have to agree with that.

Florida State no doubt about it. Since the 09 season I have heard that miserable fan base slam WE BACK down my throat. Jesus Christ there fan base was more bearable when they were only loosing 1-2 games a year.

Out of 20 yrs being ranked preseason, Okie has lost spots in rankings from beginning of the yr, to end of the year 15 times out of 20.

LSU. That loss to Clemson should have knocked them down a peg, but the swamp kitten fan base is convinced a Natty is forthcoming.
