Everyone jumped LSU over Utah, because LSU plays in the mighty SEC. Lets look at resumes and see who is more impressive:
Team #1:
Win vs Wisconsin in the south. Not a home game, but not a true road game. More of a road game for Wisconsin than LSU.
Win vs Sam Houston State.
Win vs ULM Warhawks.
Loss to Miss State at home.
Win over New Mexico State.
Lost at Auburn.
Win vs Florida on the road.
Win vs Kentucky at home.
Win vs Ole Miss at home.
5-1 at home.
1-1 on the road.
3-0 vs G5/FCS teams.
4-2 vs P5 teams.
Team #2:
Win over ISU at home.
Win over FSU at home.
Win at Michigan.
Loss vs WSU at home.
Win at UCLA.
Win at OSU.
Win over USC at home.
3-1 at home.
3-0 on the road.
2-0 vs G5/FCS teams.
4-1 vs P5 teams.
LSU had did done NUTHIN that says they should be ranked above Utah. Not one thing. But dat SEC doe. Dat extra G5/FCS game be tuff doe. Playing at home...rough doe. No OOC road games, really do bring da team down doe.
Give me a break.
Like I said, my top four are:
#1 - FSU
#2 - Oregon
#3 - Notre Dame
#4 - Miss St
The SEC schedules are pathetic compared to FSU, Oregon and Notre Dame. Pathetic.
