LSU rises to No. 2 in Top 25; Auburn, UGa out

NEW YORK -- Winning the biggest game of college football's opening weekend boosted LSU to No. 2 in The Associated Press Top 25.

No. 1 Oklahoma held on to the top spot in the first regular-season rankings, while the Tigers used their 40-27 victory against Oregon to jump rival Alabama, which slipped to No. 3.

Boise State moved up a notch to No. 4 after its impressive 35-21 win against Georgia. Florida State moved up to No. 5.

Oregon dropped nine spots to No. 13 and defending national champion Auburn, which started the season at No. 23, fell out of the Top 25 after needing a late rally to beat Utah State at home. Notre Dame also dropped out.

Moving into the rankings were No. 20 Baylor, No. 22 South Florida, No. 23 Penn State and No. 24 Texas.

I can't say I am surprised.  For some teams, the win streak would be enough to keep them hanging around in the top 15 though.

24   Texas   1-0   135
25   TCU   0-1   130

What a fucking joke.

So apparently, being the defending National Champion with the longest winning streak in the FBS is not enough to get you ranked. Being a Mountain West team and getting down to Baylor, coming back, and then still losing to Baylor, gets you in the polls.

You know for a 100% fact, that if we were Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas, etc., first of all we would have entered the season in the Top 10, and secondly, we wouldn't have dropped a spot. Probably would have moved up considering the teams that lost ahead of us. You'd hear about the amazing comeback and how this team never gives up. I know because I've seen it in the past.

The AP was chomping at the bit to get us out of the polls. They couldn't just wait an extra week to actually see what we're made of.

It is fucking ludicrous that any team that is 0-1 be ranked at all while there are so many teams still undefeated. Even Oregon. You had your chance and you blew it. Get in line behind everyone else until you get a quality win.

And they will get that chance in what, 10 weeks? PAC 12 sucks. And so does Notre Dame.

I agree with your thoughts on the pollsters' motivations.

I really didn't fully expect they'd drop us with a W.  Not often that happens.  But, #16 comes to town Saturday, and we can be right back in it if we can find a way to pull it out. 

My heart says they learned a lot of lessons, got the feel for "game speed", will correct alignment problems on Defense, and play more aggressively, and we can compete.

My mind looks at Roof's history, and says the ONLY way we win this one is if our offense can keep up in a shoot out.

If we can score 45, we have a chance.  Damn, that sounds fucked up!  Trotter goes all tard on us, and we're fuxed.

2 things must happen for us to win Saturday...

1.  We must score with every given opportunity... Like you said without Trotter going full retard.

and 2. The defense will have to stop MSU's offense twice...I don't think that will happen.

The National Media hates us for whatever reason...so fuck them.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Oregon lost to a top 5 team while they were a top 5 team. I wouldn't expect them to totally drop out of the top 25.

TCU was ranked 14th. They dropped more than Oregon did, and rightfully so; they lost to an unranked team.

I don't understand why people look at it as "defending" champions. A team can't take it away from you. It's not normal at all to win back-to-back NCs. You're not really defending anything. You won it. And in that sense, the 2011 AU team has just about dick in common with the 2010 team. There are only a handful of guys leftover from that team. You certainly aren't expecting the same results as 2010 after watching the Utah St game, so why should the pollsters? If we're going to play the "if" game, you would be bitching and moaning about the media sucking the Crimson cock if Alabama was ranked 23rd and put in the same type of performance as AU against Utah St and wasn't dropped out of the polls.

Auburn could have totally eliminated the controversy by kicking the living piss out of Utah St. It's what pretty much everybody here thought was going to happen prior to kickoff. If I would have came on here and said you guys are going to have to pull one out of your asses to beat them, you would have laughed me off of this board. If the pollsters had it out for AU, then the team didn't give them much to think about. You would be pissed if they gave any other team the benefit of the doubt because of last season, so I don't see why you expect them to do it for AU.

In 08, Alabama was ranked 24th in the pre-season poll. They were ranked #1 going into the SECCG. All is not lost for AU. If you guys can come out and kick the living fuck out of some ranked teams in a good fashion, and show that all season, I think AU will find themselves in a respectable place in the polls.

I agree for the most part but there has to be at least a little amount of respect factored in here.  I don't argue for an instant that this team had to pull one out of it's entire ass to beat a middle of the packWAC'ster.  But, isn't that the same M.O. for just about the whole 2010 season?  And isn't this program currently on the longest win streak in D1 ball?  It may end this week and if they play even half as bad as they did Saturday, it will.  But, until then..all we do is win...and drop in the polls. Just a little respect would be nice.

Meanwhile plenty of teams are undefeated. They are winless. Yes they played a great opponent. I don't care. A 100% win record vs. a 100% loss record should win out every time. They fall out of my poll and are replaced with whichever team had most quality win that was previously unranked. I guess that would be Baylor.

TCU was ranked 14th. They dropped more than Oregon did, and rightfully so; they lost to an unranked team.
Yeah, and that unranked team is still unranked, while TCU is still ranked. Do you really fail to see the absurdity in that? Again, one team has won every game they've played, and the other has lost every game. AND THAT ONE GAME SAMPLE IS A HEAD-TO-HEAD BATTLE WITH EACHOTHER. On no planet should TCU be ranked and not Baylor. And not any team that actually won this weekend.

Last season shouldn't amount to shit. But it does. Hence why Oregon and TCU are still ranked. Hence why Alabama is #3 in the nation for beating up on Kent State while giving up 5 turnovers. And you're wrong on what I would be bitching and moaning about. And you're wrong that that would ever happen. I've seen time and time again an overrated Notre Dame or Michigan team struggle in their opener, and I've heard the talking heads gush over what perseverance they had to come back and secure the win, and that team ends up holding strong to their top 5 ranking. Granted it's generally bullshit, but it only applies to those favorite son teams. Always has, always will. Like Snaggle said, I'm not saying we should just be able to perch up at the top of the rankings after a win like that. But shit, we do have the longest winning streak in FBS. That should get us to crack the Top 25.

See above. You're wrong. Just about every team ranked above us is given the benefit of the doubt because of last season. Just not the National Champions.

The thing is, I'm not sitting here arguing that we're world-beaters. I feel that it is more likely than not that MSU beats our asses next week. THEN we should be unranked. Until we lose on the field, it makes zero sense to keep teams who lost their only game ahead of a team that has won 16 in a row.
