Long time listener, first time caller..... IF and I say IF with that special tone in my typing - LSU were to win BIG tomorrow night, could they possibly jump SC in the Polls.

No. LSU won't win
j/k GT
Pollsters don't like letting the #1 team get passed if they are on a bye week

For the record, I say No way but will go a long way in securing those all important votes that will tighten the gap.

USC has an off week - we all know you can't be jumped just because you're not playing.

Ain't gonna happen GT. Too much love out there for the Trojans. In fact I'd bet if we won all our games by a large margin and USC just sqeaked through, we still wouldn't jump.

Nope...I don't see why it matters though. #1 plays #2 regardless and you still have to win the final game.

I don't think it'll happen this week. Like Load said, the number 1 doesn't get jumped on a bye week; however, if LSU were to win big (by big I figure 20+) and USC were to struggle w/ a good Nebraska team next week.....then LSU could jump to #1 after next weekend.

If not not mistaken, no1 has been jumped in the past while idle...anyone else remember this?

i say yes; USC is off, plus va tech is ranked #9.
i could see where people would say USC did nothing to make them lose their no. 1 ranking. BUT, they did nothing to show they are the clear-cut no. 1. IF LSU were to win big and vault to no.1, it would only be fair to let USC have a chance to move back up after a big win or when LSU is on its bye

You know if LSU wins big they will just say VT was overrated. I think the only way LSU jumps USC is if USC loses. I prey LSU doesn't lose tomorrow we will never hear the end of how LSU was overrated

A 2 or 3 TD win might do it

You are right Load. I can't wait for Bama's first big win so I can tell the Bama faithful, "The only reason you won is because you had all Shula's players". ;D

Nope, LSU can't jump them. Way too much USC love. In my own personal poll, which I failed to turn in this week, LSU is number one. You beat a conference opponent by that much and you deserve it more than USC did when they showed up against Idaho.

they should release the polls 3rd week, so these teams have actually gotten some good games under their belt.

No. No offense to USC, but the media is so in love with them no way they move from #1 unless they lose. And, maybe they shouldn't...if you are #1, go undefeated, why should you go down?
