PER collegefootballnews.com, http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2004/Preview/ProgramRankings_6_10.htm A 3-YEAR PROGRAM RANKING: LSU comes in 7th behind 1) Miami 2) Ohio St 3) Georgia 4) Oklahoma 5) Tennessee 6) Florida. It's nice to see 4 SEC teams in the top 10, although I think we should be above them.... I might be a little biased. :thumb: Once more of these recruiting classes Nick has been getting start graduating and going to the NFL these numbers should jump up some. Graduation scores are based off most recent data collected, which isn't really from the past 3 years I don't think. I would think our recent numbers would be higher than that. Our attendance score was way above average and that might improve a little, but can't get much higher right now. Look for LSU to move up to top 5 in the coming years. :lsup: :tigerhead
Next year should look like this: 1) Miami 2) USC 3) OU 4) Georgia 5) Ohio St. 6) LSU 7) Tennessee 8) Florida 9) Michigan 10) Florida St USC and OU could switch depending on who wins the NC. If Michigan beats Cal, they could be #8. Tennessee beating Auburn and their bowl game would probably keep them ahead of LSU as well.
You really believe Miami will still be that high? I would think USC would over take them since they've been in the Top 4 to finish the year each of the past three seasons... but we'll see. LSU should move up a little more, but will be held back by 2002 still.
LSU will be top 3/4 by next year, especially if we can finish the season with no more than 1 loss total. Miami probably won't hold on to #1 if they lose to VTech and their bowl game.
for some reason the conference winning % for UF and LSU are different. wtf. maybe we should be higher in this ranking. plus, you'd think there'd be bonuses for winning conference and/or national titles.
