Mafia, gamblers speaking volumes.

How is the world is Nevada #12? They have beaten NOBODY and lost to San Diego State last Wednesday.

voodooidotwo•75 months

It really is pathetic they are so disrespected. They just beat two top five teams in the past 10 days and lose to an underrated Florida and they barely crack the top 15. These bad rankings will really hurt them when they try and get a number two or number three seed.

CAD703X•75 months

wasn't waters given an IV at halftime of the FL game because he was so sick? oh yeah and we beat TN without him.

I know LSU put voters in a hard place with the UF loss, but this is a Top 10 team. LSU COULD beat any team on that list.

CDawson•75 months

Agree, as goos as we are some days, we are that bad on others. Hard to figure out sometimes.

GeauxLSUBengalTigers•75 months

Not certain that they could beat any team on the list qualifies them to be ranked over them. There are other factors at play. And did you think that any of them teams could beat LSU as well? Not hating, maybe LSU should be top 10 but your argument don't hold water.

Black n Gold•75 months

I'm not saying they should be ranked Top 10 bc they can beat all those teams. I stating that they could beat all of those teams.
