Since when do the posters play for the LSU football team. Florida made 1 more play (pick six) then LSU was able to make. What fans did after the game has nothing to do with Florida making a team look bad.

They made us look flawed, not bad.

Because UGA was overhyped and LSU is getting credit for it


Perhaps, perhaps not. One game does not a season make. That’s why we play at least twelve. If the GA/LSU game had been held in Athens, you might have a different outcome. Home field is huge. Bama lost to AU last season, were they overhyped? Good teams lose every season. Bad teams win some every season. Tennessee is not a better football team than AU. What if UGA rebounds vs UF, who beat LSU? CFB, particularly in the SEC, is a fickle creature. I’m not counting several 1-2 loss teams completely out just yet.

Everyone says we can't win, they say it ever week. We'll u know what we do anyway. Florida basically beat us by one at their house in a game we should have won. Just like the 2016 game we should have won. Florida will not win the east.

Because the Ranking System is just a propaganda machine to divulge in the exploitation of collegiate athlete's mental and physical abilities for the greater good of Giant Corporations by selling you "Prime Time" games between "Ranked" Opponents. Don't believe me? Then tell me why the cost of a LSU vs Rice ticket is $50 and an LSU vs Bama ticket is $400. Why do we now basically have bowl games to start the season? Why do we have 40 bowl games? LSU still has to play #1 Bama. #1 vs #5 makes more money than #1 vs #12...Just my Opinion

It is good question. I think it is based upon the LSU win over Georgia?

maybe UF could be ranked a couple spots higher today. 

Agreed. I think UF should at least be ahead of UCF at this point. Does anyone outside Orlando actually think UCF is better than UF?
As for the OP, he's viewing this with his Florida glasses on. I hate the logic that X beat Y so X should higher; there's too many other variables and that logic confuses itself in a round robin situation which occurs so often.
I don't think many out there who's watched LSU this season would disagree LSU should be the top ranked one-loss team. Actually, given what they've accomplished to date I wouldn't be surprised if they stay the top ranked X-loss team the rest of the way out.

Pollsters gave LSU a pretty healthy bump for beating UGA.


Well, they should have. You took us to the woodshed.

Hard to say. It would be interesting to play you again. But you won. Hey, it is what it is.

Maybe. But can you find somebody ranked below LSU that looks like they deserve to be higher than LSU?

their best win is ranked higher than your best win currently, so technically they have they better resume. Your other supposed good wins both fell out of the top 25

It really doesn't matter. If we were a legit contender (and I don't think we are), winning out and finishing 11-1 would allow things to take care of themselves.
