Coaches Poll: #26......

Posted by tigerburningbright75 on 1/21/25 at 3:32 pm
....Right behind Colorado and Coach Prime. UNLV had 3 losses as a MWC team. . How can they be ranked at 24?

2. LSU opened vs USC and Ole Miss opened vs Furman
This pretty much sums it up. Yet as far as I can tell Verge Ausberry gets complete control of our scheduling.

The next two seasons LSU opens with Clemson. With a head coach who takes a while before his team finds it's identity that's not good. And if the pollsters continue to rank teams like UNLV then that means that LSU can't afford to lose more than 3 games it they're going to finish ranked. That's tough to do when you're always losing your first game of the season.
Seven SEC teams finished ranked in the final AP poll compared to just five for the Big Ten. Furthermore the SEC had three teams in the "also receiving votes" category (including LSU) for a total of ten teams in the final Top 35. The Big Ten had only six by comparison. Point being the SEC's still the deeper conference.

IMO the voters weren't going to put 8 SEC teams in the final poll. That would've set a record for the number of ranked teams per conference and the AP (which has never liked the SEC IMO) wasn't going to give us the satisfaction. Thus the Tigers were out.

Well of course....SMH.

2006 would’ve been the ideal year for LSU to have get into a playoff. Would have had a decent chance of winning the NC.
The 2006 team was as good as the 2007 team. Of course it was a lot of the same players.
LSU finished ranked #8 in the final AP poll in 2010 and #6 in the final AP poll in 2018.

Not so fast.
Some coach ranked us #25 in his poll. Thus the one point. In the AP poll we actually got a few more points.

Then they got shell shocked at OU seeing 90k fans. That’s football at this level. Play it now and we go min 1-1 in the KSU and OU games, prob 2-0. That does matter. This is a team. If your in nola come check em out. The stadium is cool
Once again.......There's that million dollar check made out to yourself. The bottom line? Tulane lost to two decent Power 4 teams and has since beaten up on Group of 5 teams.

That's like writing a check to yourself for $1,000,000 and then calling yourself a millionaire. You can post anything you want because you know you won't have to cash that check.

Tulane had two chances this season to show that they are a decent Power 4 team. They failed both times.

Based on what evidence? Tulane lost to the two best teams they've played this season and Kansas St. and Oklahoma aren't any better than LSU.
Tulane has no idea what it's like to go through an SEC meatgrinder where programs like Kentucky, Arkansas and South Carolina have beaten ranked teams from other conferences through the years..
We're finding out what a "Super Conference' is all about. Yet some of you want the SEC to move to a 9 game conference schedule....Good grief !!

I love it when people try to apply the transitive property to football.
So do I. Especially if it's applicable which in this case it could be. Tulane had two chances this season to prove that they're on par with decent Power 4 teams and they lost both of them. Mind you I said decent, not great Power 4 teams. How else can we judge them?

ok? What is your point? They spend under 10 million a year. LSU over 200 million. Whether they could spend more isnt a question. The athletics department/football doesn’t have the resources or even close to the resources LSU does.
My point is that Tulane chose to be mediocre many years ago. That 10 million dollar budget is a choice, not a money obstacle. They have more money. They choose not to spend it. Thus I don't feel sorry for them when they fail which is usually the case. I also don't exalt them when the succeed like you seem to be doing.........especially at our expense.

whatvwould Tulanes roster look like w LSUs resources.
Garbage. Tulane could be big players in college football if they wanted to. The average Tulane alum is wealthier than the average LSU alum. Maybe if they'd beaten Oklahoma I'd take them seriously.

Chest and Vyctorius played well.

Good players transfer these days if they're not getting significant playing time and you think this could possibly impact a team? Your post lacks logic.
All I'm saying is that if one team has only 85 players on scholarship and another has 105 then the team with more players has an advantage.
