    Final AP Rankings.

    LSU gets votes, but no spot in the Top 25.

    I was looking to see where Ga Tech was placed. They stayed in because of ranking etiquette.

    The AJC has the LSU ranked #6 in their 2009 Preseason poll.

    The respect for the Tigers should be restored.

    We didn't deserve to be in there...no matter the outcome of the game.

    All about the 5 losses. The bowl win probably impacts the opening polls next year.

    based on the AJC having LSU ranked #6 in their 2009 Preseason poll, we can already see the respect is back

    I think the preseason poll will reflect the fact that voters will conclude 2008 was merely a blip on the radar for LSU football
