Exactly. :hihi: Or, it could also be a certain person's odd obsession with obscure RPI and pomeroy ratings! Seriously though, I think this was one of those unique weeks where so many folks right in front of LSU lost. Are they really a top 18 team right now? Hard to say, when you look at LSU in mid to low 30s in RPI. In any case, I think when you look at voting polls, perception, geographic and conference allegiances, come into play. I think the nation wants there to be a spokesteam from the SEC. Right now, LSU is it and we should enjoy it. Things are always tougher when you have something to lose... :geauxtige LSU IS A BASKETBALL SCHOOL. BEAT UF AND UK.
i thought SF was talking about the guy that had LSU at #8, not me. im surprised and pleased. i clearly cannot understand how the sportswriters or coaches think.
signature wins mean nadda until March. What was the Final Four team's "signature win" before the Duke game? Look at Memphis's schedule. Find me a "signature win" on their schedule.
before beating duke, the 06 lsu team beat w. virginia, ark (2x), and uk (all tourney teams). and this year, memphis slaughtered gonzaga in spokane. i get your point, but program history means something. memphis did something last year (just a little something), lsu did a little nothing.
