People have LSU and Tennessee in Top 10s. Unfathomable.

Based off a decent sample size of results at this point, they should both be behind half their own conference

LSU I kind of get. They have a lot of talent, drubbed A&M (I know) and that loss to Ole Miss was just a wild game. Someone has to be 10th and I guess it could be them.
Tennessee though? They seem to have a solid defense but their offense sucks. Only thing they've done is sort of hang around with Texas (at home, at noon) in a game they were never actually going to win. Typical overrated middle class SEC team.

LSU has a closer resume to be unranked then Top 10. They went 7 - 5 last year, fired their coach and have zero quality wins. By resume, they should be behind Ole Miss, Miss St, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Florida. Heck they should be behind, like Wake Forest who has a link via Ole Miss and Louisville. IMO LSU is the laziest ranking in the country.

LSU is ranked on name and name alone.

Given that LSU replaced their coach and a sizable chunk of their roster, I'm not sure last year's performance matters much. This year, they have routed Clemson and A&M (I realize these look less impressive now than they did at the time, but still those are reasonably talented teams) and lost on the road to a good team with a massive chip on its shoulder in a game that came down to the final minute.

I dunno. I think there are about seven really good teams this season, and it's all kind of a muddle after that. Someone has to be ranked #10 right now. I'm not going to get too upset about it being LSU. It's early yet, and we'll find out if they are actually good when they play Bama and Texas back to back in November.

Right but you can also always move a team up right? I would have had Miss St higher last week, I would have them lower this week. Same with Iowa. You are allowed to move teams up and down based off results. Some teams are 5 - 0. Almost half the season! The issue is LSU has one of the weakest SEC schedules. So it provides a potentially unreliable anchor for the entire conference.

Yep.

Context & Opponent-Relative Efficiency

It measures how much value a team creates on offense and allows on defense after accounting for the situations in which its plays occurred and the opponents it faced.

Why does anyone care about the poll before mid-November? Watch your team and hope they win. That's all that matters rn.

Because other teams got more votes.

I mean, feel free to watch other teams too if you want. But this right here.
It will all sort itself out, and none of it really matters at this point. This is especially true of teams ranked below, say, 15. (or, in this case, 11. Why the hell is Utah ranked so high? Yes they're 4-0 but their biggest win is... Iowa State?)

Because I like CFB too much and they objectively influence CFP rankings. You don’t have to if you don’t want to!

Kinda surprised they kept us at 3, honestly.

The SEC glaze is insane. Ole Miss top 10 after being DOG WALKED by Florida who, in turn, got DOG WALKED by Missouri is all we need to see.

And while people might say, well it’s early these rankings don’t matter, they absolutely have proven to matter. The playoff committee does not deviate much, sadly.

There are teams in the teens that have done less than Northwestern or Wake Forest
