[RubinRock]

Clemson would molly whop any team ranked 7 and above.

 

[BadMotoWeazal]

Well, look at that

 

[Deep Creek]

Clemson would molly whop any team ranked 7 and above.

6 and up.

That ought to ruffle duck feathers.

 

[UNA Lion]

#1 target firmly on Bama's back, though the Coaches Poll has them at #2

Seems familiar

 

[Deep Creek]

There isn’t four places difference in Bama and Georgia. We just saw them play each other.

 

[Brutus]

There isn’t four places difference in Bama and Georgia. We just saw them play each other.

Please elaborate

 

[ELTEXAN]

Please elaborate

He pretty much spelled it out

 

[Brutus]

He pretty much spelled it out

Is he saying Georgia should be higher? Who should they be above?

 

[Deep Creek]

Please elaborate

Two teams are basically equal.

 

[Deep Creek]

Is he saying Georgia should be higher? Who should they be above?

Or Bama lower. Pollsters are acolytes and favor the polling tradition of record over who the wins are against. Georgia has a win over Clem and a close loss to Bama. (I’m no willing yo give them much credit for the Kentucky win…yet.)

Who has Texas, Ohio State and Tennessee beaten that makes any better than Georgia? I’m putting the Texas win over Michigan and the Bols win over OU in the category of Georgia’s win over Kentucky. The “Maybe Later” category.

 

[Brutus]

Two teams are basically equal.

So it should really be

1. Texas
2. Ohio St
3. Tennessee
4. Alabama
5. Georgia

To me, 1-5 are all in one tier and you can ranked them how you want them.
Not sure if the spread btw these teams are no more than 4 pts from what we've seen so far

1. Texas
2. Ohio St
3. Tennessee
4. Alabama
5. Georgia

I'd be fine with that

 

[Red_Alert]

There should be consequences for losing and somewhat even for poor play.
i.e. Georgia should be treated like a one loss team, because they are a one loss team.

I don't really care what the 1-19 order should be.
I don't care that Georgia lost by just 7 pts. They were down 30 - 7 at half.
I don't care that Georgia would highly likely beat 80% (+/-) of the remaining undefeated teams.
Plenty of teams got the boot completely outta the Top 25 because THEY LOST and that's fair enough.

Rank Georgia the highest of the one loss teams. I'm fine with that. However, they should have to win their way back into the CFB Playoff just like every other one loss team has too.

Same theory applies to one loss USC, Ole Miss, LSU, Notre Dame, Clemson, Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas St, Boise St, Louisville, Illinois, and Texas A&M.

Are we sure AP #20 Kansas St (4-1) can beat AP #23 Indiana (5-0)?
Indiana has won all 5 of their games convincingly (Ave 48.8 - 13) . They won @ UCLA by a bigger margin (42-13) than AP #6 Oregon did (34-13).

1) Alabama (4-0)
2) Texas (5-0)
3) Ohio St (4-0)
4) Tennessee (4-0)
5) Oregon (4-0)
6) Penn St (4-0)
7) Miami (5-0)
8) Missouri (4-0)
9) Iowa St (4-0)
10) BYU (5-0)
11) Indiana (5-0)
12) Duke (5-0)
13) Pitt (4-0)
14) Rutgers (4-0)
15) UNLV (4-0)
16) Army (4-0)
17) Navy (4-0)
18) Liberty (4-0)
19) James Madison (4-0)
20) Georgia (3-1)
21 - 25) Other 1 loss teams

Depends on how much stock you put in record or wins….without consideration of whether those wins are against quality opponents or not.

To me, 1-5 are all in one tier and you can ranked them how you want them.

The “what we’ve seen so far” is the key imo. And this early in the season we haven’t “seen” much because the lack of good OOC games and or lack of good conference matchups.

 

[duckboy33]

Michigan above ND and Clemson remains silly

ND??

We didn't even play and moved up. I'd have Georgia above TN, for now.
