Two blowout losses to the only legitimate teams they've played (Florida and Georgia), one win over a team with a winning record (and that team hasn't beaten anyone better than Ole Miss). I could maybe see them at 23 or so, but absolutely no higher. They're getting a huge boost because they beat Auburn before Auburn was exposed as a total fraud this year. LSU's resume is about the same as Minnesota's this year - maybe worse (Minnesota's second loss was to a barely-ranked team instead of a top 15 team, but it was also a last-second play rather than a blowout).
I agree Oregon is overrated there, but Oregon State isn't an illogical choice. Three teams on their schedule have not lost to anyone else - and they beat one of them and were competitive against another (although that one is Utah). That's a decisively better resume than LSU.
