Being ranked high at the beginning of the season prevents dropping off the radar if you have a bad week or two, especially if it’s due to the injury bug. All of this matters. You build a reputation and that feeds on itself. It’s why the “don’t worry about LSU” conversations are happening. They’ve been a fixture at the top of the rankings, so they get a pass when they stub their toes a few times.</p></blockquote><p></p>
