Where will Louisiana rank in Final College football polls?

They didn’t punish BYU. I believe that Pitt picking up a loss could drop a couple of spots.

Guys, I don't mind being wrong if you can provide a precise rebuttal. I'm all ears. I just don't see how anyone is deserving of the #10 spot in front of us or behind us that loses. If any of the next 4 games against Top 17 teams goes different than what I predicted, my assessment is gone. But if they fall into place, I don't see any better option than Louisiana at #10. It's not some much that Louisiana is THAT GOOD to be in #10, it's that nobody else is deserving enough to move up after a loss. They are the reasonable choice.
#19 Clemson would have to jump 9 spots to get in to #10.
#18 NC State gets a 0 for cancelled bowl game. 8 spot jump for no win? Nope.

The final polls haven't come out yet. We don't know that they didn't punish BYU.

We won't know how any wins or losses will affect the polls until after the NCG on 1/10/22

I’m pretty sure BYU loss was in the same poll our bowl win was in, and we were rewarded to 16 in that poll.

Clemson and Pitt could swap positions. That’s not moving from 19 to 10!

So what would you call that?

Can’t we just dream for a couple more days . . .

EXPRESS, the AP will update the latest/last activity of the ranked team - but the Poll Numbers don't update until AFTER all bowl games are done. The image I posted in #193 is still a PRE-BOWL ranking for all teams.

Clemson and Pitt may swap, but if recall my prognosis from post #54, I said I am not concerned with #11 - 25. Only the void left by Ole Miss/OK St./Utah after they lose. Somebody has to fill those slots.

At this point, MSU will get one by virtue of their win last night.
Oklahoma gets one because nobody between 11-15 will win (except MSU, whose already been accounted for)...So they get the next slot.
Who do you put in the #10 slot? If Ole Miss/OKST/UTAH all lose, they all finish with 3 losses (UTAH, actually finished 10-4). OKST finishes 11-3 (having lost 2 games in a row) and Ole Miss finishes 10-3. Does a 3-loss team deserve a top 10 spot? I don't think so.

I already explained how void can best be filled.
