Haha true. But even the great Bama was slightly overrated this year. That being said. what you bring up is very very relevant. And Prob the reason LSU is number 1 in the long run. But you do see my point in the comparisons to the likes of Georgia, Auburn , Florida, and Wisc and Michigan and Penn St. The SEC teams always get the higher rankings. Pre Season, Mid Season and Post season. Just based on name alone in most cases.
I agree overall with i terms of the other teams
But LSU winning on the road against bama gives them the edge over osu
However being 1 vs 2 is huge I think this year bc Oklahoma is clearly the weakest of the 4 and just my from eye test Clemson looks the best so LSU is essentially guaranteed a spot in the title game being ranked 1
