At the time they played them, Miami was ranked 8th, and LSU won at a neutral site. At the time they played Auburn, Auburn was ranked seventh, and LSU won on the road. LSU lost a close road game to Florida, who at the time was ranked 14th. LSU then defeated at the time number three Georgia at home and at the time number 19 Mississippi State. Losing to a semi-pro Alabama team who is ranked number one is not shameful. LSU still has a very good Texas A&M team to face on the road, a team that came within two points of number two Clemson. What I am trying to say is that LSU deserves the respect thrown their way based upon the toughness of the schedule they have played. UCF is undefeated but look at their schedule and compare who they have played to that of LSU this year and it isn’t even close. I think the old BCS rating system would have taken this into account and UCF would be further down they they currently are.
