Can we change the NCAA thread titles to "Beef rants about the SEC" from now on?

But yeah, LSU shouldn't be top 20. Maybe 22-25.

Florida-Georgia should be interesting, even though I won't be there due to a superb online ticketing system. -.-

Florida will win but Georgia will still have the biggest celebration of the game.

I'd react similarly if Virginia Tech or Michigan State was ranked ahead of us but that isn't the case and tends not to be the case so much with teams that aren't in the SEC. I dont understand how any voter could backup their reasoning for voting LSU so high. I understand that they are dumb and pay no attention to most of what goes on, but its easy to see that LSU has 2 losses, no good wins and has given up over 100 to the only good teams theyve played

That will be reflected in the BCS rankings. The voters are a little overzealous and it's not justified but by the same token, FSU is a little bit high because of their name as well. Sagarin has LSU at 21 and FSU at 23 and that sounds about right to me.

Sagarin also has the ACC 3 and the SEC 4.

I dont see how LSU should be ahead of FSU.

For me the jury is out until this weekend when FSU plays a ranked team.

FSU doesnt play a ranked team this weekend.
--------------------------------------
We're going to lose this weekend, but that doesnt justify LSU being ahead of us right now. We have better wins and dont give up 50 every time we lose.

FSU has already played a ranked team, they scored 3 points.

Half our team was still suspended and it was our first game against a real opponent. I realize you havent watched games since then but our team has certainly improved since then and so have a lot of other teams in our conference. The opposite seems true of the SEC.

Why are you so concerned about the AP anyways, it's a bunch of meaningless sillyness. If you haven't figured it out, the media ranks teams basically like this:

1. USC
2. Oregon State
3. USC
4. Texas
5. Alabama
6. Georgia
7. Florida
8. LSU
9. Vanderbilt
10. USC

I figured it out and it bothers me. I just dont like when people seem really brainless and I am unable to help fix whatever their problems may be. I want to be a difference maker
