I actually do think LSU doesn’t deserve to be a top 5 team. Said it in the rankings thread yesterday. Their O hasn’t looked great so far, and they’ve played the following:
v. Clemson, won 17-10
v. LA Tech, won 23-7
v. UF, won 20-10
Let’s look at some of their stats too, shall we?

LSU’s offense is currently sitting at #94, while their defense is #25.
Florida’s offense, comparatively, is #67, and their defense is 28. To my original point on a previous page, however, Florida’s defense has played the #86 and 94 offense (LIU was not even available in the rankings, so that’s all you need to know). LSU’s defense has played the #109, 104, and 67 offenses. (And yes, those are in order of schedule.)
[Btw, our offense is 22 and defense is 38.]
So no, I am not impressed with LSU, and yes, they are fraudulent until proven otherwise. Right now they remind me of our 2017 team. We have played much tougher competition and dominated in all facets of the game. Stop it.
