Meh, Baylor hasn't played anybody, and WVU's defense certainly doesn't count. UCLA should be higher, but I feel like the smaller conference schools I have ranked deserve the props more so than a major conference school.

you are true on that sir

Louisiana Tech is getting robbed in a lot of polls right now, they have done good against good competition yet not getting ranked solely because of their name

I think you also ranked Western Kentucky, that's a team that also deserves props, only losses in the past 11 games were to LSU and Bama.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

also I have no idea why Mississippi State is ranked

they're unbeaten but haven't played anyone

How is that worse than a team that has one loss in the only game they played against decent competition?

like who?

 

[uncfan103]

like who?

Baylor (best win ULM), Clemson (best win Auburn), Oklahoma (best win UTEP), Boise State (best win BYU), Western Kentucky (best win Kentucky)


Mississippi States best win is Auburn

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

you have a point but at the same time, if Mississippi State played Florida State, West Virgina, Kansas State, Alabama or even Michigan State they would likely have one loss as well.

but now that I think of it that argument doesn't really work


it is kind of funny how one could argue that Oklahoma shouldn't be ranked, they really look to be getting the benefit of the doubt just because they're Oklahoma(from everyone including me)

24seven...I have no problem with your Top 25, but this cracked me up:



Quality losses!

Basically I have them tied based on record, and to break the tie I gave the nod to the team who had the toughest opponent since I disregard wins outside of the top 30. If it had involved more significant placement (top 15), I would have done something more scientific, like flipping a coin...

 

[SeeYouNT]

Please explain how FSU is not a quality lose?

Losing is never a good thing....

 

[nolehusker]

I misunderstood your post. I thought you were laughing at the fact that it wasn't a quality lose, but you were laughing at the fact he ranked them based on a quality lose

Completely agree; call it a "anti-bias bias" correction against the brand name schools?

Mississippi States best win is Auburn

And actually, our best win is over 3-2 Ball State right now

Ball State is better than Auburn? Either way, Mississippi State has no losses, and some schools do that was my point. I did rank some one loss teams ahead of UTSA though. UTSA is 5-0 and i think they still need 3 wins to become bowl eligible haha

I bet Ball State would give Auburn a run for their money; ULM certainly did.

I wasnt laughing at you believing Ball State is better, I was laughing at the SEC having a team worse than Ball State. Sorry for the confusion lol
