CFN ranks LSU's football program 3rd

http://www.collegefootballnews.com/

Over the past 3 years, LSU's program is in the third spot, behind USC and Texas. Pretty nice. Let's see Miles and co. blow the doors off of college football this season.

 

TIED FOR 2ND IN THE ELITE WINS CATEGORY...

1 Auburn SEC 7
2 LSU SEC 6.5
USC Pac 10 6.5

 

Troy as a quality win in 04'?? When did Troy become a quality win?

Why is there a zero next to the category "bad losses" for every top ten team?

 

Because if you had a bad loss, you wouldn't be in the top 10. Duh!

 

Quality win: win against a team that finishes with a winning record

Bad loss: Loss against a team that finishes with 3 or fewer wins

Elite win: win against a team that finishes with 2 or less losses (if at home) 3 or less losses if away.

 

CFN always give us respect can't say the same about ESPN and the others.

 

thats true

 

Because CFN backs up their rankings and articles with stats and facts. They are not "in love" with the star or program du jour, ala MJ, Barry Bonds, TO, USC, Notre Dame, et.al.

 

Michael Smith seems to give LSU a fair shake, as does Tim Cowlishaw, though he's primarily paid by the Dallas Morning News.

 

Lee Corso usually picks LSU too.
