understandable, IMO. Blowing the lead to Tennessee has caused doubt about our coaching staff. Tennessee's loss to Georgia & Florida (who was smashed by Bama) makes it look like a mediocre Tennesee team beat us. A casual watcher in the Vanderbilt game would say we struggled most of the game. What other top 10 teams have to play the next 8(or is it 7) weeks in a row with no breaks? Also, several of the top 10 teams don't play teams anywhere near as good as the teams we'll be playing through the rest of the season. Of course, this poll means nothing more than people's perceptions. We can change all of that with a big win over Florida.
Wow, they're really loving LSU in the Southern states. LSU's got over 40% of the votes in every southern state other than Louisiana. I say Penn State.
If were just an average football fan from somewhere else in the country and watched LSU on TV I would vote for them too.
we're being hit hard in the south because they know the team and not the reputation. all the other teams listed (and possibly in the entire top 10) have an impressive win over a solid team i almost voted for LSU because of our tough schedule, but went with penn st.
