I don't get where you are saying LSU is #1, not #2 in Sagarin....where do you get that?

And yes, this is significant if USC either ties for #3 or worse in any other poll.

 

Here is what Anderson-Hester poll has published on their website (it's what we been saying all along):

With all due respect to #3 USC, the teams most deserving of invitations to the Sugar Bowl are #1 Oklahoma and #2 LSU
All 3 teams have 1 loss, and USC simply has not beaten anywhere near the caliber of teams that Oklahoma and LSU have beaten:
The best team USC has beaten is #18 Washington St., while Oklahoma has beaten #5 Texas, and LSU has beaten #12 Georgia twice
The 2nd-best team USC has even played is #38 Cal, and USC lost
Oklahoma and LSU have combined for 9 wins over teams currently ranked above Cal
Oklahoma and LSU each have 3 wins vs. current top-20 teams to USC's 1
Oklahoma and LSU each have lost only to a current top-25 team (#16 Kansas St. and #24 Florida, respectively), while USC has lost to a non-top-25 team
Here are the 10 best wins by these 3 teams (based on teams' current rankings): 1. Oklahoma over #5 Texas, 2. (tie) LSU over #12 Georgia, 2. (tie) LSU over #12 Georgia (2nd time), 4. USC over #18 Washington St., 5. Oklahoma over #19 Oklahoma St., 6. LSU over #20 Arkansas, 7. LSU over #23 Mississippi, 8. LSU over #24 Florida, 9. Oklahoma over #31 Texas Tech, 10. Oklahoma over #32 Missouri
In sum, the Trojans' top wins are over much worse teams than the Sooners' and Tigers', and the Trojans' loss is to a much worse team too: Oklahoma and LSU deserve to be playing in the Sugar Bowl

 

Remember, he's talkin about rankings in his poll.

 

Yes, they are posted on their websites. Colley is projected but accurate to the point, I can guarantee the order of finish as I list it above.
