I create the discussion thread first, that way I have a link to provide in the OP of the voting thread, because if you don't hold the hands of certain retards, they will discuss the polls in the voting thread despite being told not to every week.

Voting thread is up now.

Sportshoopla top 25 week 11 voting

You have way, way overreacted dropping Georgia from 1 to 10, and I thought you was a person that didn't overreact. 6 is the correct position for Georgia based on how great they have played the whole season and the body of work they have.

Anyway here is my poll as now. Do I need to makes any changes? The last several spots of the top 25 were very difficult to come up with it

1.(2) Alabama 10-0
2.(4) Miami 9-0
3.(6) Oklahoma 9-1
4.(5) Clemson 9-1
5.(7)Wisconsin 10-0
6.(1) Georgia 9-1
7.(13) Auburn 8-2
8.(10) UCF 9-0
9.(3) Notre Dame 8-2
10.(14) Ohio St. 8-2
11.(12) USC 9-2
12.(15) Penn St. 8-2
13. (9) TCU 8-2
14.(16) Oklahoma St. 8-2
15.(8) Washington 8-2
16.(18) Washington St. 9-2
17.(19) Memphis 8-1
18.(20) Michigan 8-2
19.(21) Mississippi State 7-3
20.(23) South Florida 8-1
21.(NR) Stanford 7-3

All kinds of funny in that one! Just another crazy week in college football.

I had them 6th last week and already ahead of Notre Dame. They jumped UGA.

There is no reason why Georgia should be ranked above Auburn here. Surely you messed up? I mean, you at minimum switch them.

 

[Chewbaccer]

But seriously, you Oklahoma fans need to get a grip.

I have the 3 undefeated teams and Clemson ranked ahead of you. Get over it. Clemson and Miami play each other in the ACC championship game, and if Oklahoma handles their business, they will jump the loser in my poll.

That was a difficult decision for me. What this weekend proved is that's it's tough to go on the road and win. Hell great teams have gotten absolutely smashed on the road. Auburn has an extra loss. If Auburn beats Bama, at that point, I would have to rank them ahead of UGA even if they have one more loss.

Eh, they have the head to head win. That alone is worth jumping them if they are right there together.

At least, I always did that on my computer rankings when it would happen like that based on score. After the rankings were calculated, it would start at the bottom and if the team directly above them had lost to them, then it would move them up.

It seemed wrong to me if that happened in my rankings, so I wrote code just to address it. Seemed odd to me to see it in yours.

It is a long time until the playoffs...but right now, I'd hate to be playing Auburn, Miami or Oklahoma. They seem to be the ones that are rolling and peaking right now. But, it is only mid November and 6-7 weeks until the playoffs....if they even get there.

That H2H is obviously important. Maybe I'm resorting back to my own biases of the teams prior to the game(had UGA #2, and Auburn #16). This was probably the toughest ranking to rank this week. I still think there's a case to be made on overall body of work for UGA to be ahead(just not resume based but performance based as well), but Auburn handled them pretty good. It's a really tough call for me tbh.

Auburn is certainly trending in right direction. The game against Bama is just huge. Can't wait for that one.

We are probably fucked against Auburn. Some of what I saw last night can be attributed to being worn out from a very physical LSU game, and we should be a little more healthy when we play Auburn in 2 weeks. But Auburn is all about the run and our run defense is no where near what it should be.

We are hurting at ILB in a bad bad way.

I won't be surprised if we are the underdogs vs Auburn, and probably should be. Gonna need our offense to step up.

Yep...kind of the opposite of what is "normal" for Bama.

When Auburn beats Georgia, they always beat Bama too. Just the way it has been since Mark Richt first got to UGA in 2001.

The trends give me hope for a rematch. Don't think we'd win, but just have a better showing. Auburn beat us on their own, but our own dumbassery lead to such a lopsided result.

3 top 11 wins, 2 on the road, and 2 were beatdowns. Wisconsin won't be over OU Tuesday in the rankings IMO with that cupcake schedule. If they beat OSU in the championship game, then I understand, and agree.

I agree with that.

But at this point in the season, the undefeated P5 teams top my rankings.
