I'm not an LSU fan but I think their #1 ranking is perfectly fair considering their superior performance so far this season.

LSU would clean USC’s clock any time.

I’m not so sure, although after seeing what LSU has done to people all season compared to USC, I do think the ranking switch is warranted. LSU/USC would be one HECK of a college football game, that’s for sure.

I’ve got some trouble with USF at #6. OK, they knocked off West by God Virginia. That’s enough to vault them over teams like South Carolina and Georgia?

Silliness like polls are why I’m glad to be a Division I-AA (or whatever they’re calling it this week) fan. No polls, no bowls...at the end of the year, sixteen teams, four weekends, and the national champ’s decided on the field, not some computer somewhere.

Never really understood the big deal over whose number one. As long as you’re in the top two thats all that matters.

The Tigermania on this thread aside, LSU struggled against #114 Tulane while SC struggled against #46 Washington. Seems hard to justify a ranking reversal.

A brief thanks to scott says for doing a fantastic job with the live thread this weekend. If you see scott says, go up to him and give him a big hug.

South Florida, which knocked off No. 5 West Virginia 21-13 on Thursday night, made it into the poll for the first time two weeks ago. Now the Bulls are No. 6 in the country

That's right! Reccanize.

Big talk. How about a home-and-home series? Let's settle it fair-and-square! Recently, SC has done home-and-homes with Auburn, Arkansas, and Nebraska. Next up is Ohio State, and SC just scheduled Boston College. But such big talkers can surely be squeezed in somewhere....

By the way, what home-and-home series have the mighty Tigers been playing, and what schools are scheduled?

The vote is not unreasonable, but if USC and LSU meet for the BCS championship game; USC will win handily.

A 34-9 struggle is a different kind of struggle than a 27-24 struggle.

At least one Florida team can be Auburn.

My beeber is stuned. This is hugh! And series! USF could play for the National Championship! All that has to happen is USC beat Cal, Oregon beat USC, and Michigan beat Ohio State! Never mind...Michigan can’t beat anyone this year. </sigh> An alum can dream, can’t he?
