Mandel's Power Rankings have been my favorite poll for 5 years now. He's not afraid to move teams around and say what he thinks, right or wrong, he tries his best and explains. I wish all voters of the AP and Coaches poll were required to explain how they voted each week. But then we would have the proof we all suspect. The coaches don't know what the other teams outside their own conference are doing and don't even vote, they have someone else cast their ballots. And the AP voters are so bias to their own region it greatly flaws the AP poll. :tigerhead
LSU is the best team in the nation. Only 4 or 5 teams could even challenge them. With a healthy Flynn, a healthy Doucet, and an improved punt- and kick-return game, no one will be able to touch them. Not even USC.
unfortunately, we don't have a healthy doucet or even a healthy flynn. I would hesitate to say no one will be able to touch us if we did but first, that's a lot of ifs and second, USC is very good.
