Doogitywoogity 9 I don’t like having them here, as they haven’t beaten anyone I find compelling, and I have them one ahead of Ole Miss despite the H2H. My logic is that it does seem, at least rn, that Ole Miss was playing their superbowl in that game and barely won. I don’t think Leavitt is elite. I’m not particularly a believer in this squad, but I think they have a higher ceiling than most other squads, and is really one of the few that could challenge the big dogs. I’ll be happy if I’m wrong, it would be very funny to watch them flounder, but at the moment I get the impression they’re actually a good squad.
GeauxTri 9 Dominant win over Texas A&M; only loss came on the road at Ole Miss.

IceColdDrPepper_Here 17 As I mentioned in the Ole Miss comments, the bad news is that LSU’s win over Clemson now looks as impressive as their win over McNeese. The good news is that not everyone else in the conference is going to be treating their games as their season's Super Bowl like Ole Miss was so they will have some chances to clearly establish themselves as on the same level as the top 3 SEC teams

Redoing the tiers finally pushed Clemson down one, and that's still LSU's best win.

Justanother_0 18 Is this too low? probably, but right now LSU's best win is against an A&M team that is more likely to go 4-8 than 8-4 and a Clemson team that'll be lucky to make a bowl. This is a resume first poll, so despite the talent profile of this team I need to see them beat teams with a pulse.
justsaynotoreddit 18
Lex_Ludorum 18 Joe Burrow-lite runs a smooth offense.
Maladroit44 18 ...see above. I really don't know, and I'm aware ranking them all in order like this is a bit of a copout, but I'd be lying if I pretended to have a better idea of what these teams are after 4-5 games apiece. Nobody else they've beaten is ranked in my poll, and I'm unsure where to rank any of them, which means I'm also unsure of where to rank them for their wins over each other. Head-to-head it is, at least for the time being.

ChBass 21 If there was a world where wins and losses didn't matter, and it was just teams trying to do their best and everyone met in the middle of the field after to high five and share orange slices, LSU would be the number one team in college football. They have the third best defense in college football and can stop anything but spite.

Staind075 24
ColombianInIowa24 25 34.65 - I don't think they are good.

Notable omissions: First, I note the AP poll is especially egregious this week so I don't really care and will also turn to the Coaches for comparison. #28 Oregon, loss to Oklahoma State still confuses everything. #29 Iowa, still not sure what to make of the top of the B1G. #31 Houston, Texas Tech hasn't looked good enough to make up for the near tie. #27 Kentucky, noise. #26 Boise State, see Oregon, USC.

Special notes: #35 Northwestern, mainly due to lack of confidence yet for Indiana. #45 Wake Forest, no clue tbh.

Not notable omissions: SMU and Oklahoma State. SMU I don't think is good at all and have no clue why they of all teams are ranked out of the ACC. Oklahoma State is subject to big noise for Tulsa loss and Oregon win without much to see yet in Big XII play.
