Umm no. Another way of saying that is…. essentially since 2014.. over two decades, you went down in rankings every year but 3.
Congrats.

I'm not reading thru all the post to see if someone astute has not raised HOLY HELL about Notre Dame not being #1, so here it goes.
Notre Dame gets propped up EVERY YEAR! Always a high ranking with a soft schedule and no conference championship. In the years they manage to successfully navigate that soft schedule and make it to actually play for a trophy, they end up getting their shite pushed in.
I will never understand why they are consistently ranked where they are, every fricking year. It's almost like their goal is to toy with the asshats to see just how long they will enjoy the egg on their face.

Going up 3 times, down 5 times and staying the same 4 times is nowhere close to LSU’s trash

LSU produced a GOAT National Championship…with the worst coach in Ole Miss history as Head Coach.
Nothing overrated about that.
That is called a miracle. Almighty God at work. HE loves The Tigers.

It's cool how the Massey Composite does every team and doesn't just stop at top 25. It's basically an average of 100+ polls and computer rankings (including the AP). SEC teams last season pre vs final.
Texas #3 to #14
UGA #5 to #7
Bama #7 to #12
Ole Miss #8 to #8
LSU #10 to #39
Vols #11 to #31
SCar #14 to #60
UF #16 to #55
A&M #18 to #11
OU #23 to #13
Mizzou #25 to #34
Texas #3 to #14
UGA #5 to #7
Bama #7 to #12
Ole Miss #8 to #8
LSU #10 to #39

It just popped into my mind that all 4 of LSU's title games have been in NOLA. Maybe God really does like LSU football.

You've also lost 47 frigging times in the last 12 years. The chart is about where you start and where you finish.

The methodology compares each team’s preseason AP position with its final AP position, accumulating negative points when it finishes lower. An unranked finish is treated as below No. 25. Consequently, this measures failure to meet preseason expectations—not overall program quality. Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State appear because they are routinely ranked extremely high, even though they’ve won championships during this period.
USC ranked first because it began 10 of the first 11 CFP-era seasons in the preseason Top 25, finished below that starting position eight times and finished unranked five times. Auburn’s résumé includes three especially damaging collapses: No. 6 to No. 22 in 2014, No. 6 to unranked in 2015 and No. 9 to unranked in 2018.
