A ranking should be based on how good a team currently is, not their record for the year. They and Arkansas should be ranked in the top 15.

4 losses.

Not a single team is ranked with fewer than 3 losses.

A&M is the highest 3-loss team at 16.

Pittsburgh is the lowest Power 5 2-loss team at 20.

L’s - Arky, Memphis, Lsu, and Bama

W’s - Kentucky, Auburn, NC State, La Tech, Vandy, and Texas A&M

Decent wins, bad losses = unranked

We were 26th based on votes received.

Arkansas likely loses to Alabama Saturday and we have a rent a win in Tennessee state so we will move into the top 25 after that with a 7-4 record. Plus they’ll want the egg bowl to be a top 25 matchup

You would beat Memphis right now. Maybe LSU. Most would have losses to Alabama. You shouldn’t be penalized for playing good teams. Arkansas is a coin flip.

Only two of those losses are bad.

I hate you frickers, and I’m glad you lost that game. That being said, even I know you guys got screwed by the refs in that game.

Meh, State is ranked about right by the way it’s always been done.

In the real world, for as much crap as they get,are there really 25 teams better than LSU? But you get what your record says

Because they've lost 4 games (and one of those was to a G5).

It's not a matter of who you lost to, it's a matter of who you beat and they haven't beaten anybody worth a crap.

That goes for you A&M.

The AP poll doesn't matter. I believe State will be ranked 24 or 25 in the CFP poll Tuesday.
