Sportshoopla Top 25 Week 3 Discussion Thread

[Hook'Em0608]

I agree. I said last night that USC shouldn't be in the top 10. I'm thinking around the 12-15 range.

I'm gonna post my poll in the next 15 or 20 minutes probably. I'm struggling this week to figure it all out.

I thought week 2 was going to be the hardest.
But this week is brutal because a lot more deserving teams will not get selected even with good records.

But it will work itself out like a jigsaw puzzle.

Yeah it is tough to rank teams with only 3 weeks of the season played.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Based off preseason ranking 10th

Based of no preseason ranking they would be borderline top 25

Fair enough, I can respect your opinion.

Yep, I'm still not sure Stanford, LSU, and Kansas St aren't top 25 teams. Despite their eggs this week. A lot of these teams haven't played true road games like those 3 have. It's tough to win on the road against a competent opponent. In fact, the only team out of the 3 those lost to, I'm even willing to rank right now is Miss St. They actually pass the eye test and have a history of being pretty good under Mullen when they have a good QB. Stanford and Kansas St some times let the conservative nature of their coaches effect them at the start of the season. Those run heavy offenses take awhile to get going.

Totally agree and Miss State has surprised me so far this season. I'm with you, I don't think Stanford is as bad as they played last night. I was really surprise how well Texas defense played last night and that Freshman QB for Texas is going to be a good one. If the Horn's defense can continue to play like they did last night, they will win a lot of game this season.

I'm still not an Ehlinger fan (for 2017 anyway), I think Shane Buechele is night and day better right now as a QB. Herman said in the post game he will be back to getting the 1st string reps as soon as his injury is cleared up. He played hurt against Maryland and still threw for almost 400 yards. Ehlinger is gritty and has big time potential, but he left lots of points on the field by being inaccurate throwing the ball. The WR's are the strength of our offense and we need the best passer on the field this year.

How many of you knew that 6'6 WR that went off yesterday was from Cali? He's only at Texas because he is a legacy. He and his brother are the son of Johnnie Johnson.

I thought I recognized the last name Buechele. Isn't his father the bench coach for the Rangers?

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.

 

[trojanfight]

Where is Cal? We all know if ole miss had beat them they would have been ranked.

I may have FSU a little high because they don't have their starting QB. 10-15 are interchangeable to me. At that point I think their loss is better than the other 1 loss teams in Ohio State and Auburn.

Why would you have them high when they don't have their starting QB? Also what's better about their loss?
