Ole Miss is #20 in the AP poll and (effectively) #26 in the Coaches' Poll. I'm sorry, but that's not right. They deserve to be in the top 25 of the coaches' poll. I hate Ole Miss, but they are a two-loss team that's undefeated in the SEC...that still means something.
Not as long as Georgia is ranked ahead of LSU. I really can't figure that one out. They beat up on Tennessee but that's not such a great accomplishment. They LOST to LSU which should count for something. Then, the last 2 weeks they let Vandy stay in the game for 3 and a half quarters ( shoot, USLLofL could be competitive against the Commodores) and they damn near got beat by UAB. How on God's green earth do they maintain a #4 ranking?
