The media is stupid and goes by their "eye test," but those polls are irrelevant now.

See, I wish the committee (like the BCS computers) would do away with (or at least stongly de-emphasize) the "eye test," but they don't appear to have done so. The only reason LSU is ranked as low as they are (#19 last week) is due to "eye test" considerations stemming from our loss at Auburn. The composite computer ranking--built only on who you have beaten and lost to--actually has the Tigers at #9. So the committee is apparently not immune to "eye test" subjectivity. And maybe that's a good thing; there's an argument to be made for the human element. But you can't simultaneously decry the "eye test" and praise the committee.
