Bama has more conference titles and wins. LSU has more tournament success. Depends on what you're looking at.

That's not nearly as egregious as having Auburn ranked ahead of a school with 2 national titles, 1 runner-up, 6 FFs, and 11 E8s (not to mention the disparity in conference titles).

I guess they're looking at the actual history of the programs. LSU had a handful of good runs in the NCAA tournament, but historically, they're FAR behind Alabama in winning %, head to head, and conference tournaments, etc. Alabama has a 32 game lead in the head to head, for example.

LSU hangs their hat on some Final Fours, but the fact is that they have only once in the entire history of the program ever won any kind of post season tournament. and that was an SEC tourney 45 years ago.

They have squandered more top tier talent than most schools will ever have. They do a lot of bloviating for a team that basically never actually wins anything.

If you want to be ranked higher, go actually win something. Florida is the school that should complain about their ranking here. They have actually won the SECT and the NCAAT.
