    Re: LSU #2 in Coaches, #1 in AP Poll!

    Here's one of the USC posters


    Please delete this post before LSU fans get a hold of it. We've been saying the AP poll is a legit poll for the last 4 years...but now all of a sudden it means squat just because LSU is #1 now?:lol:

    Seriously, join the fray. Makes for a more interesting board.

    This one takes the cake. fUSC fans finally agree that the AP poll is meaningless...:dis: or is it?

    Re: UCoaches poll keeps LSU @ #2

    Based on all the love we have gotten this year from sports writers, I thought we would do better in the AP. However, about the 2003 polls...both had LSU at #2 before the Sugar Bowl and I'm inclined to believe that the coaches would have voted LSU #2 after had they not been bound by contract to vote us #1. That doesn't take away from the :crystal: we won on the field though.

    This is great. The consternation the AP poll is causing USC fans is irony at its finest. I knew they couldnt possibly explain away this poll without massive contradiction.

    Not much difference from LSU fans now claiming we're #1. We've said for years there is no such AP title, yet we continue to post and talk about being #1 in some meaningless poll.

    Oh, no question and I agree 100%. Being number 1 in the AP poll is symbolic at best and I for one accept that. However, the point is that USuCk has hung their hat on the AP poll title only to discount the ranking now that it doesnt favor them. Its quite the contradiction. Hypocrisy at its finest! :lol:

    It not actually meaningless for another two weeks. When the BCS comes out, all that matters is being in the top-2 and staying there.

    Anyway the AP is not a championship, it's just a media poll. Being #1 in a poll does not make a champion, not since the advent of the BCS.
