i feel like thats the lowest i have seen Oregon so by average i suppose like 9 is about the spot for them

 

[kburjr]

Wisconsin plays 3 Top 18 teams in Games 4-6. It is entirely possible for all 3 teams to be undefeated at the time of the games. Either going to fall like a rock or climb into Top 5 territory.

Why have a tie in a ranking that isn't voted on or done by stats?

Pretty sure 8 people voted on it.

Man they just building Tennessee right up to get knocked down once more huh?

 

[THUNDER]

How/why does Penn State keep getting ranked so high?.......

They good mane!

They better mane!

Because they are damn good and return a lot. Those dudes are legit and well coached. Their QB borderline sucks though which is an issue.

Don't you understand the momentum they have in 21 recruiting right now?? That's going to play dividends on the field in 2020

I’m sure the 27th best class when everything finishes up will be super impressive.

Not sure why they hate us so much

You're actually making a good point.

Currently, per Rivals, UT is ranked 2nd, but they have 23 commitments. 14 of them are 3-stars.
Their average player ranking is 3.39. That wouldn't even make the current Top 15 let alone the final
rankings. They have no room for improvement...maybe 2 or 3 more recruits for 2021. Everybody
else still has 10-15 openings. They are way over-hyped with that class.

Its quantity over quality. They have no shot at the major recruits that the major players are after. I’d be shocked if Pruitt wasn’t the typical rinse wash repeat hire Tennessee has been known for. #WeGunnaGetGruden

 

[outofyourmind]

I think you drop #8 and #10 down and replace them with some more SEC teams.

 

[Hitman Hart]

What's the deal with Virginia Tech @ #24?

Utah? Texas? Tennessee?

I wouldn't say he sucked, considering it was his first year starting. He needs to work on his completion percentage, but his YPA, TD/INT ratio, and QB Rating were similar to guys like Kyle Trask, Brock Purdy, and Jamie Newman. I wouldn't say any of them suck.
