LSU should be No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll.
Yes, that is a thing you could argue after three weeks of the season.
None of the 61 members of the AP Top 25 media panel held that opinion Sunday, but the Tigers did make a big leap from No. 12 to No. 6. After starting the season No. 25, and barely squeaking into the rankings at that, LSU has put together the best small-sample size resume in the country — if we are just looking at what could be considered quality victories. It is so early, even that is a guessing game.
