I ain't drinking that LSU koolaid. Why exactly are they #1?

09/08 Va Tech W 48-7

I'm not convinced they should have the top spot either, but to play devil's adovcate for a minute, this might be the most impressive win by any team this year (despite it being at home.)

right, but if we can all agree that early season games count less....

I mean, they've won a bunch of SEC games. By not wide margins. 1 TD each to Ark/Ala? Losing to Kentucky? If we're talking about who's going to win on a neutral field tomorrow, I think LSU isn't even the best in the SEC - Florida is, imo. They lost by 4 at LSU in a game they could have easily won. I just don't think the SEC deserves the automatic bid this year. I mean, isn't that what they're getting? Ohio St. is a one loss team, WVU one loss, ASU one loss - to a top ten team no less, Mizz one loss, Kansas, no losses, and screw the ACC. The only reason for saying LSU is that they play in the SEC. Guess what, the SEC ain't the best conference this year. Or if they are, it isn't by any meaningful margin. Is that early season home blow out of Va Tech really enough to put LSU above all the others?
