I don’t get the medias love for Oregon. They shite the bed every big game.

The most overrated program nowadays is Oregon . Until the last few years Oklahoma State was the most overrated every pre-season...usually in the top 15 where they didn't belong. Now, Oregon has taken that mantle.

"While the exit from Ole Miss was messy"

That wasn't Lane Kiffin's fault. KSU offered LK their HC job. Like every other coach in America, Kiffin had every right to accept the offer. Hell, he even allowed his offensive coaches to return to Ole Miss and coach the team.

Indiana and Miami are way to high. They are both losing a ton

Cuban is giving Indiana a boat load of NIL money. They ain’t going anywhere.

Probably more accurate than the one I saw last week. I doubt Oregon at #1. OSU should still be up there along with UGA.

Notre Dame with their, “we only play pus*ies on our schedule but since the media loves us we get an automatic bid to the CFB championship “. Year after year they are automatically elevated to the throne of greatness only to crash & burn. Remember it has been since 1988. Meanwhile their little brother Hoosiers are kicking a*s.

One person's opinion so posters, let the guy 'do his thing'. It adds perspective to the upcoming season. Remember how high they had LSU last year in the preseason!

Klatt is a tool who doesn’t know jack Squat about rankings!! LSU should be at least in top 5 even with our schedule based on the amount of talent Kiffin has put together!!

What I like even more than his number 8 ranking is that he got the logo right.
