If you want proof of SEC bias look no further than FSU vs. LSU

Florida St. won head to head, had the same amount of wins, won their last 6 games, and finished higher in the rankings last season...

Yet they are ranked 3 spots behind LSU who lost 2 of their last 3 including to a 7 loss Texas A&M team.

None of which should matter. We are ranking this year. When you sign like 20 transfers, you can't brag about how good you were last year.

And yet LSU still whipped Clemson in the national championship game (twice actually).

Congrats on the moral victory.

We don’t need proof. We know we are better than everyone else.

LSU is ranked higher because they have more talent (on paper).

That isn't really a result of "bias," LSU is barely favored in the game Sunday night.

It could go either way.

Seems like more of a postgame conversation.

shite like this is why no one will ever take Clemson's lame arse seriously about anything.

Amazing how the three biggest Clemson trolls show back up on the same day.

Not that what happened last year should have any bearing on this year's rankings, but you clearly lack the ability to apply context here.

LSU had 39 scholarship players when CBK arrived, yet still managed to beat bama & win the west. The lack of depth caught-up to us the last 2 games (not that we were beating GA in any case). FSU struggled against dogshit teams down the stretch, and Mike Norvell is their head coach. Go cry about something else.

Their last 6 wins were against 5-7 and 6-6 teams. They beat 2 teams with record above .500 last year.

LSU lost to a top 10 TN team and 2 of the best rosters in the country.

Also its not bias. SEC is 9-1 in CFP games since 2019. Only loss was Bama to UGA.

I personally think LSU is overrated, their beating Alabama in OT apparently cancelled out their 4 losses. But that's just my opinion and it's all moot since we'll all know what's what late Sunday night.

Clemson in the SEC is basically Ole Miss. So STFU.

They are playing each other so not sure why this thread is here. We will know Sunday night who is the better team.

LSU has the Brian Kelly/Notre Dame hype still. Especially since they won the west.

Most people assume that if BK can win big at notre dame with less overall talent than the top tier SEC schools, then he can potentially be Saban level good at a big time SEC program with less strict academic requirements.

I thought overall he did a decent job last year however to lose that badly and that late in the season against A&M is definitely a red flag.

I will be watching LSU closely this year and wish that we got them again this year instead of A&M just because.

FSU faced a grand total of three ranked teams last year and lost to all of them. And who gives a country shite about being three spots apart in the preseason poll? If FSU wins they move up and LSU moves down.

Eh LSU is ranked higher than us too and we beat them at their house by far more than FSU did. It's not SEC bias.
