Is an absolute joke. I have a hard time even trying to argue that brand name and strength of schedule are even somehow considerations the polsters could make.

This team is not one of the top 25 in the nation. Top teams play consistently and are able to execute when it counts.

LSU has shown all year long that they can beat up on lower opponents but fail to execute either via play or via coaching in moments where top teams would.

This is mostly correct. We can only do ranked wins. I'd hate to lose to LSU, so thank you AP voters.

I understand that you're probably frustrated, but LSU is absolutely one of the top 25 CFB teams.

That's no one this year.

LSU is probably appropriately ranked.

They are ranked only because they are a good bully.

They beat bad teams badly, but lose to most good teams.

The global CFB product gets shittier every year. Fans eat it up anyway.

Actually it's probably Oregon

I don't think LSU is done losing either.

LSU is absolutely a top 25 team in the country. I would argue that they have the POTENTIAL to be a top 15 team and possibly higher.

That said, it just looks to me that Kiffin has not fully won over the entire team to his philosophy of playing. Going for it on 4th down as one example. If it fails the team appears to get frustrated when Kiffin decides to do it over again and again, and they start to lose focus.

Once he can win them over, things will even out. Right now the team is just inconsistent. If they can beat Texas and Tennessee, that could turn the corner for them, but if they lose even one of those two games it could be difficult to win the team over this year, and he will have to try to make headway in the off season or next season. If he is unable to do that, he will be in danger of losing the team permanently.
