I'll take it. To be fair, if we'd passed USC, I'd be a little annoyed. It's not fair to treat a bye date like anything other than what it is.

I'm getting really irked about Oklahoma. They whipped Miami. Hooray. When was the last time Miami wasn't whipped by a decent team? Florida's the goddamn defending national champion, and they're losing rankings after a win?

Ludicrous.

 

At least the AP isn't loving on A & M. And I see they have their "Plan B" for the NC in line with vaulting OU to #3.

 

BINGO!

Darn, if only we could catch the trojans!:lol:

 

Re: AP Poll Out, LSU Closing in on Tigers

I hope LSU is also closing in on the trojans. :rofl:

 

Re: AP Poll Out, LSU Closing in on Tigers

We're closing in on ourselves?! Damn, we must be way faster than I thought!

 

Re: AP Poll Out, LSU Closing in on Tigers

The AP only has us 12 points behind USC. And USC is the media darlings.

 

Re: AP Poll Out, LSU Closing in on Tigers

I thought that was Notre Dame? :wink:

Funny thing about the "Media" perception. Most fans think some other school is the "Media darling" cause when we they hear the competition's name, it catches our attn. Making our blood boil is part of the fun of college football though.

In all honesty, LSU has been getting LOADS of press.......we earned it and it was great to hear LSU all day long on Game Day- they were pimpin us dude. :thumb:
