Elsewhere in the SEC... nobody played anybody and Furman was trailing just 20-16 to LSU at halftime. IIRC they almost beat LSU last year.

Was thinking of Towson... my b

How do you lose at home to the 21st ranked team and only drop to 10th?

And look like dogshit in the process?

Smh

 

[Vinsane]

Auburn moved up 3 spots.
LSU moved up 2 spots.
South Carolina moved up 6 spots...

...a week after losing to Tennessee.

I don't understand the poopdick fascination with ranking these bummy teams... I mean really

Someone has to be ranked in those spots. Look around CFB, how many quality teams do you really see out there? Stanford threw for 88 yards while beating Oregon State 20-12 (WHICH, ZOMG, IS A TEAM THAT LOST TO EASTERN WASHINGTON) ... Miami needed two late scores to survive Wake Forest in front of maybe 20 thousand fans yet they are ranked 7th!!!! ... Oklahoma struggled vs. Kansas last week, barely beat TCU two weeks prior and got blown out by a meh Texas team in the interim. Zomg still ranked #13!!!! How can this be?!?!?!

You could poke holes in the major programs from all the major conferences right now, save for a handful of dominant teams at the top. It's almost as if the rankings don't matter all that much aside from the top two in this crazy game. Oh wait, we already knew that.

As for the rest, who exactly is being slighted? Does it really matter if 2-loss South Carolina is ranked ahead of say, 2-loss UCLA? I could see an argument for Michigan State needing to be higher, but this early in the season what difference does it really make? Win moar games, try to win a conference, then try to win your bowl. Rankings are meaningless right now, there's another 5 weeks of football to be played.

Just to clarify, this isn't me disagreeing with your point. It's me asking why you think your point is worth making this vociferously.

SEC will stop getting the circle jerk when they stop winning the national title every year, usually in dominating fashion when facing teams outside the SEC.

Yeah I feel like college football is just a popularity contest based on the perception of the human polls, and then the yearly results confirm the voting populace's perception, and the next year's preseason polls will reflect voter perception based on the previous year ... which is exactly how it works, and we all knew this.

couldn't agree more, brother

 

[Hasselbeck]

If these points were made by anyone other than jayrock, I'd probably agree with a lot of what was said.

But fuck Jayrock.

[Jayrock]

I haven't bumped this in awhile but this seems like a good time.

 

[Glenbino]

Saturday should be awesome

 

[NAHSTE]

Two things:

1. There is no way Auburn is the 4th best team in the country

2. There is no way Auburn beats Bama
