And as I mentioned, they've faced one team that's over .500.They struggled offensively, but they aren't a good offensive team. In terms of overall efficiency they've been top 25 good.

It's been a pretty good year for the Big10, if Iowa Iowa could of built off of last year.
That's where you and I differ, I guess. You are much more into the advanced metrics while I trust the eye test more. Florida just looks like a weak team, who has struggled with extremely weak teams. It's just laughable that this is the 18th ranked team in the nation.Yeah, I get that, and that's taken into account when determining efficiency.

From what I saw out of LSU against Missouri, I'm not so sure Florida would've won. Using a backup QB against the likes of Vanderbilt isn't much of an excuse. It's not like this is also a new thing for Florida. They've been an absolutely dreadful offensive team for quite some time now, and their defense was exposed by a decent michigan offense in their bowl game.Well you probably also think Vanderbilt is extremely weak, when in actuality, in terms of efficiency, they are practically identical to Indiana, plus it was a road game, not that Vanderbilt is a hostile environment, but still. And Florida used their back up QB that game. They were dominant against UK and North Texas, and played a bad half against Umass.
I'm not saying Florida is some great team, but you need to rank 25 teams if you're going to have a top 25. My guess is they would have beaten LSU, finished up the rest of their schedule at 8-4/9-3(pre bowls) and be ranked somewhere between 15-30.

Vandy is a bad 2-4 team that got absolutely destroyed by a mediocre at best GT team. Indiana has a close loss to a 5-1 team and 21 point loss to a top 2-3 team in the nation. Not sure the metric that says Vandy is as good as Indiana, or has performed as well, but you can keep it.
You take that back - Appalachian St and Ohio U are good football teams!Nah Tennessee can't stay put after losing. Overtime loss or not. Say it with me now sec bias
I would agree, tOSU looks like the most complete team in the country to me...The top 6 looks about right to me. You could move Ohio St. to number 1 and I would not argue, or leave Bama at the top spot and I would not argue.
Tennessee staying put at #9 after a tough overtime loss makes sense to me.
I might move Mississippi and Oklahoma down in the top 25 a bit more...
I really don't have a problem with it...for now. That beatdown by UL will not be soon forgotten.Ole Miss and FSU have the same record and OM is 2 spots ahead of them. I can never stand that. When the teams are that close in the rankings, head to head should matter.... JMO OM might have the better of the 2 L's on the schedule or maybe it was the way FSU lost?
Whatevs...Nah Tennessee can't stay put after losing. Overtime loss or not. Say it with me now sec bias
