Great case for not ranking anyone until after week one at the soonest.

I remember thinking that win was going to launch LSU into a great season and a playoff run. Turns out it was fool’s gold. Who would’ve thought that after that victory, Kelly would be fired before the season even ended? Just goes to show how quickly things can change.

This is certainly true for LSU. Here is their preseason rank and final rank since Joe Burrow and Joe Brady.

2020: preseason #6, final unranked
2021: preseason #16, final unranked
2022: preseason unranked, final #16
2023: preseason #5, final #12
2024: preseason #13, final unranked
2025: preseason #9, final unranked

It doesn't matter when you start ranking teams. They change every week as more information got better.

Neither LSU nor Clemson finished the season ranked, thus the system is working fine.

It does make a great case why game time rankings don't mean anything after the fact. AKA if LSU starts trying to claim they beat a top10 team this year that's kind of bunk. But I haven't seen anyone doing that.

If you refer back to my earlier post, FSU is who knocked the wheels off the LSU soapbox derby car in the first game two years in a row.

Losing to FSU in a season opener is a LSU tradition.

Well dipshit, try talking about this year. Not hard to do... just look at all your LSU obsessed bama fan friends.

I knew you'd be up in this thread. Moth to a flame.

I just came here to respond to your now nuked Yellawood post:

You are correct sir. I was seriously about to start the same thread. Replacing a shite ton of that crap on my pier (OT baller with pond) after only a few years. It is shite.

Yes, we got beaten pretty badly, and yet at the end of the season we are still in the top 10. It's like you missed the entire point of the thread.
