HooplaNation's College Football Week 6 Rankings - Discussion Thread

I'm not voting, but I don't think there's a shot in hell that Michigan finishes ranked this year, let alone in the top 10.

Almost Certain losses - Ohio State
Probable losses - Oregon, Illinois and Indiana
Toss ups - Michigan State, Washington
Should win - Northwestern

Best case scenario right now, Michigan wins both toss ups, beats Northwestern and takes out 1-2 of the probably losses finishing with 8 or 9 wins.

Worst case, Michigan finishes 5-7. I'm thinking we land somewhere in the 7-5 range unless there's some dramatic improvement by this offense or we play a miracle game against Ohio State.

You win two of the three games you listed in probable losses. Texas is counting on you guys to finish strong! So is USC.

Not after what I've seen so far. Any team capable of getting a lead on us early in the game is going to win. The only games we've won so far have been heavily reliant on defensive scores, or our defense putting us in a short field to win. USC was a bit of a fluke because it required like 4 super long scoring runs in order for michigan to maintain the lead. That's unlikely going to be something we can even replicate, let alone count on.

What's the story with 3-1 Clemson ranking?

Impressed by those wins at home over App St, NC St, and Stanford? Putting them in that coveted 25th spot that is so revered is questionable to me.

I literally copied the exact AP poll but put the undefeated teams ahead of one loss teams.

Note I have Georgia as the highest ranked one loss team.

Yeah I saw the UGA ranking, no issue. I don't have an issue with any of it, but curious why a team with only 3 wins (two P4 at home) and a loss is ranked higher than a team with 4 wins (two P4 on the road) and a loss.

I mean both teams lost at home to a now one loss ranked team. Granted A&M lost by "double digits" but lets talk about the Clemson double digits vs A&M's.

I really didn't look at it that hard.

Just cut/pasted and edited to add undefeated teams above one loss teams.

So if you just copied and pasted the ESPN poll and rearranged all the teams, where is A&M? You have assured me that A&M is ranked #25.

I copied the AP poll from the AP thread.

A&M got pushed out of #25 because I added all of the undefeated teams ahead of one loss teams in the same AP order.

Gotcha. So can I expect a B1G bias and an ACC bias rant over USC and Clemson now?

This year is basically a waste since most of the offensive skill players we have are gone next year and there’s no functional QB to develop. We’ll have to see this offseason if they actually plan to do something about it or if we plan to just stay on the course and try to recruit that talent; but that takes time that Moore probably won’t have after this year.

The more the season goes forward, the more I am pissed about the pussyfooting, lollygagging, hemhawing, and such. Moore and staff better get their asses on the trail.

Eh Michigan is not very good but I wouldn't be shocked if they stumble into 9 wins

You just can't trust teams like Indiana, Washington, Sparty and Illinois not to soil themselves.

With how Michigan plays it only takes a couple of fuck ups by teams like that to get them behind and Michigan is able to run the clock out before they can catch back up.

I would say they should just play Davis, but my god is your Oline awful in pass protection, they'd get the kid shell shocked.

Evan Link is particularly terrible, kid is a living turnstile, they really don't have anyone better to replace him with?
