    Still Not Ranked & LSU Is

    What an absolute abortion of common sense.

    We received 19 votes while LSU & A&M are ranked.

    Absolutely absurd & shows how dumb the entire ranking system is in college football.

    How is LSU ranked & we aren't?

    What has A&M done?

    Well, we did beat LSU on a fluke last minute play after they dominated us all day. Wait, never mind, we beat the shit out of them from opening kickoff until the final gun. And we haven?t been beaten by Troy.
    I think we are going to go 9-3 and be ranked for 3 weeks of the season. I know some people will say they don?t care about rankings but we are definitely one of the top 25 teams in the country and we deserve to be recognized as such.

    Had that ABSOLUTE historic game against UCLA. You know, the one where they blew a lead Sirmon could have held? More sports writers in Texas and Louisiana markets than Mississippi. System is one for the established powers, by the established powers and must not benefit any non-established powers. Not a conspiracy, those are done in the shadows. This garbage is done to our faces and to the faces of every underdog in NCAA sports. While not that important it is still a question of hypocrisy.

    Additionally, Memphis & Iowa State are ranked 24th & 25th. MSU would beat both those teams by possibly 3 scores

    It's just absolutely pathetic how terrible the media is at this.

    MSU will forever not be given it's credit due to an effort by everyone outside the SEC foot print to marginalize how superior the SEC is in football.

    They have wrapped their minds around Bama, UGA, LSU, & Auburn but they simply can't admit that MSU would contend for the conference title in the ACC, Big 12, & Pac 12. To admit that would destroy their narrative of how the SEC is down or how other conferences can be competitive with the SEC.

    I can understand Iowa State being ranked ahead of us, since they won at Oklahoma. The very idea that LSU, West Virginia, and Memphis are ranked instead of us is absurd

    Also Parrish Alford didn't rank us. All over the country, voters have a strong regional and in-state bias, except for Mississippi apparently.

    He had no problems ranking LSU and Memphis ahead of us. What a clown.

    We would also destroy UCF and USF. Their schedules are comical.

    We beat LSU "before they were good". That is what the heads are parroting. At least some fans are letting Dari know about is dumb-ass logic on twitter.

    Well, in the world of folks who “don’t give a damn about rankings”, we have a huge game this coming weekend. We beat A&M and we are suddenly staring a 9-3 regular season right dead in the eye.
    Yes- that Behr

    To be ranked, we must beat aTm on the road. Whether we like it or not, writers/coaches saw our total no-shows against Ga and AU. You have to beat the big boys or be very competitive in those games. The polls still show traditional powers favoritism in the rankings. We are still building a consistent, winning tradition. Hail State!

    But LSU being blown out by us and losing to Troy doesn’t affect them.

    The entire system is a complete fraud

    Like I said, traditional powers (i.e. LSU) get favoritism in the polls over us.

    What would the polls look like if the voting was blind? They just ranked teams off resume`, and then the team logos were revealed to the voters after their votes were cast.

    They wanted to keep that Mullen record of head to head ranked teams in check.
    Must feel like we can beat AM. They will make sure we get in there before Bama.. and that will be the lead in piece for Finebaum.
    Double dose. ******* record when ranked playing ranked teams and all time record against Saban.

    It doesn’t help that the Mississippi media is ALWAYS light on MSU predictions

    Sure, Bounds, Wimberly, and Weiner try to look cool to their out of state buddies by never buying into MSU, but, because they are always light, they miss just as much as biased fans do.

    The point is, their attempt to be unbiased hasn’t actually helped their credibility any at all.

    Bounds picked MSU for 6-7 wins. Well, that’s probably light like it is most every year.

    Same goes for the others. It sucks how little pride these guys have in their school and state

    Kinda knew it would be this way, with our games against Ga and Aub became big primetime games and we conceivably shit our pants in the worst way possible.. hate losing but we could have at least made those games respectable and it could have actually helped us down the road, image wise.

    According to the ESPN FPI, we are the 18th best team in the country.

    Why doesn't the ranking reflect this?

    Yup. We'd beat LSU again if they came to starkville tomorrow. UF cant score and OM cant stop anyone. We can do both.
