    That was the toughest decision to make. LSU or Ohio State. I do believe we would beat Ohio State and probably fairly easy.

    Pretty easy...they haven't been beaten yet and they are in a BCS conference that agreed to the same system to determine rankings as that of the SEC. They started down the polls and worked there way up the polls as others ahead of them lost.

    How can you justify not having them up there?? because you think theyre bad or because your not sure??

    We have to play by the same rules as everyone else. Cant expect to lose games and everyone just hand us the championship on a platter. Actually, much to my surprise...we seem to have lost a game and gained props from most talking heads. It will all work itself out in the end...all the Tigers have to do is take care of business the rest of the season...its still early.

    because, at the time, USF had beaten two good teams and had the same record as OhioSt. BC has a better resume too, with the same record.

    I don't think tOSU has earned it either. However, it is Ohio State and name/history works with the media. LSU is also a big name program. Would you be #4 after a loss to Kentucky if your name was Fresno State?
