    Agree, but I hope LSU finds a way to win 9 games or so b/c that'll make our win look that much more impressive. They've got good talent on D that'll make the NFL and their style should pound TCUN in a few weeks. We really need them to stay ranked.

    About where I figured. Decent entry point from not being ranked.

    This isn't true.

    Ranked teams are the ones that get their highlights shown on espn, talked about on talk shows, etc.

    When you aren't ranked you are at a distinct disadvantage in coverage.

    Even the pollsters have manipulated average fans into being dumb.

    The poll is supposed to rank teams in order of how good they are yet because of an early preseason polls that are voted on before anyone knows how good anyone else is, we end up with crappy rankings till about the halfway point of the year.

    5 AP voters ranked LSU ahead of us:

    Voter MSU LSU Twitter Email
    Steve Batterson NR 19 @sbatt79 sbatterson@qctimes.com
    Jonny Miller NR 23 ? ?
    Terry Hutchens NR 16 @indysportshutch thutchens@cnhi.com
    Pat Dooley 24 16 @pat_dooley ?
    Grace Raynor 22 21 @gmraynor graynor@postandcourier.com

    We should blow up their inbox and Twitter pages but ONLY if you can do it politely and lay out your argument logically. Voters will listen to intelligent emails from fans - I'm the reason we rose from 14th to 12th in 2014 after an off week when no one ranked ahead of lost.

    We neededed Georgia and Auburn to keep winning and stay ranked. Helps us out more beating them like we did in 14. Ranked teams help perception even if ranking isn't warranted.

    Win at UGA & at AU, and yall are Top ~10...

    Huge win, very impressive. The MSU team I saw on the field last night is probably the best I've seen (considering all the variables)...

    Actually thats the point... if anyone wants to tweet at him.. read his poll and use it against him..
    He puts Vandy at 25 and drops LSU... but gives us no respect.

    I'm just impressed that we were able to slow down the Tom Brady off college football. Still want etling over fitz if you're facing a 4th quarter deficit?
