    to be dealt with. In their infinite wisdom, they have the ability to sway AP and "ESPN & Coaches" polls' outcome with ludicrously biased opinions that are not given a chance for re-buttal. It would seem that they don't care about a true #1 vs #2 NC game. They want the masses to follow their lead and focus on a mediocre (at best) USC team that has only 1 win against a ranked opponent. At first I thought this was all about gaining respect from the press, but the more I look at it I find that ESPN is in fact detracting from the true issues at hand and is not reporting the facts. ESPN consistantly says that USC is better than LSU, I say prove it - who has USC played that was a better opponent than LSU has played (no-one). Who has USC lost their only game (to date) against in comparison to LSU's loss - Cal (an unranked team) LSU's loss was to Fla (a ranked opponent).

    How can we as Tiger fans correct this injustice?

    We cannot do anything ... unless our Athletic Department does something about this blatant bias ...

    BAN ESPN FROM ALL ATHLETIC EVENTS AT LSU ... START A TREND

    Man, we gain 6 points from last week & USC loses 4 ... after a 55-24 thumping of Arkansas.

    This is total BULLSHIT ... but, think MAYBE SOMETHING'S WRONG

    ... holiday weekend, perhaps ... maybe the coaches didn't really put much time and effort or do much with the votes because of the holidays and Family Time.

    Let's wait for the AP ... maybe they will be better ... hell, they're the press.

    There will be no ban of ESPN. That's a completely inane idea. ESPN means huge money, and publicity. Be it good or bad, publicity is publicity. We can't let ourselves become an afterthought.
