I assumed that anc was a State fan. Is he not ? He was the one that started the thread

You could argue they should be ahead of LSU, but that clearly wasn't the same LSU team.

They didn't just lose to UGA and Barn though, they got obliterated and were never in either game.

Looks to me like anc has MSU at 15 and Lsu 18. You know as in his words “that pesky head to head matchup”

The thread is "Should State be ranked?", not "Should State be ranked over LSU?"

Auburn’s rank pisses me off.

That's all well and good, but I responded to your comment to Coater, an LSU fan...

5-2 with losses to Georgia (best resume in the country) and Auburn ( top 15 team)

LSU is 5-2 and ranked. And there is that pesky head to head thing.


Shows that the name matters more than actual performance. LSU lost to freaking Troy.

Fwiw I think both should be ranked but it's hard to justify LSU being ranked and not state

No because they’re Mississippi state. They may have the same record and beat us, but they’re generally boring and worthless. Nobody cares about moo state.

AU ranking shouldn't piss you off. This is what you get in every conference once you go from the dominate teams to the good teams. It's more about matchups and big plays. Top to bottom AU is a better team this year than LSU. LSU is clearly better in the defensive backfield and that (along with some big plays) won the game. AU has absolutely destroyed every SEC team and really should have put LSU away before a comeback was even possible. Not that it matters though because neither team is destined to do anything significant.

State will be ranked if they beat A&M no doubt about it. I don’t know who you have left to boost you higher


Umass
Alabama
Arkansas
Ole Miss

If we beat A&M we will be 7-2 ranked 15-20 going into bama game. Likely lose that one then win the last 2. Finish 9-3 ranked top 20.

Then by that logic we should be ranked ahead of Auburn then


We got crushed by state and we lost to Troy

Don’t try to compare the “logic”

Well since we are ranked I just took it a step further. I think state should not only be ranked but ahead of us

I personally don’t think that Lsu should be ranked ahead of Auburn even though we beat them. I was just using the Mississippi State posters logic of State being ranked ahead of Lsu




Gotcha. However, any time a team wins head to head, they have a legitimate argument as long as it wasn't a fluke win. (Missouri beating Alabama, for instance)

State got crushed by Auburn and Georgia.
We beat Auburn and Florida who were both ranked that’s why we are ranked. Lsu shouldn’t be in front of Auburn just because we beat them and State should be ranked but not in front of Lsu


I meant to say that they will be ranked if they beat A&M.
