Since LSU’s win over Auburn, Associated Press voters have ranked the Tigers No. 1 in the country.
The College Football Playoff selection committee, however, sees things differently. The first CFP Top 25 of the season has Ohio State at No. 1 ahead of LSU at No. 2.
The college football fan reactions varied. There were plenty of fans – Tigers and non-Tigers fans – arguing that Ed Orgeron’s squad deserved to be No. 1 since it has more impressive wins than the Buckeyes. Others pointed out that the loser of Saturday’s Alabama-LSU showdown is unlikely to make it into the field of four Playoff teams.
Here’s a small sample of what people are saying on Twitter right now:

I knew they’d put LSU at No. 2.

I probably would have had LSU ahead of Ohio State but the eye test and stats are certainly there for OSU. Ultimately doesn’t matter though with LSU v. Alabama looming ahead

LSU should’ve been #1. Penn State isn’t even in the same league as the other three. #CFP#SECFB

Seriously don’t understand how LSU is #2 ? They have more quality wins than Ohio state !

How is Ohio St #1? LSU has by far played better than anyone with better wins but hey it’s only the first one.

3 top 10 wins ? OSU doesn’t play anybody. I wish LSU had that cupcake schedule

Buckeyes are being setup. This will be a one week ranking. The winner of LSU /Bama will jump the Bucks unfortunately.

Ohio State has played the best football in the country but LSU has the best profile. The winner of Saturday’s SEC West battle will takeover the No. 1 spot next week and Clemson will slide back into the Top 4. https://t.co/VeCXzJQmS7
