    "LSU gets a chance to make a statement of our own this weekend. If we don't put up this weekend, we should just shut up for the rest of the year on the respect thing. If we win, I want us in the Top 5."

    Thumbs up, LSU can put up or shutup this weekend, IF LSU wins they we have an argument a great one, if we dont then I agree we need to focus on the rest of the season and focus on a good bowl and let the Ranking's, NC talk, SEC title talk be left for next year. Its that simple....

    I don't have a problem with us at number 9 right now, but when we beat Bama, we definitely move past Oregon, and Bama of course. Others are a little harder to argue, because there's no denying the "0"s in the loss column. But assuming all other undefeateds win, my rankings next week would be:

    1. Florida
    2. Texas
    3. Cincinnati
    4. TCU
    5. LSU
    6. Boise St.
    7. Iowa (way overrated at #4)

    And I think that would be fine for us. We'll jump the rest and into the NCG when we beat Florida.
