AP Final Poll

[Shanemansj13]

Alabama beat:

#2, #6, #16, #21, #22 and #25.

Lost to #10.

Not bad considering towards the end of the year all everyone kept saying was Alabama didn't have any top25 wins and I was an idiot for looking at team strength.

Well in there defense, Florida was not a top 25 team lol. Tennessee ended strong and made a surge. Two wins came from the CFP. So you have LSU then and the loss to Ole Miss. In the end, it always looks better after the CFP, Ohio St's resume last year looked much better as well.

I will once again state that Michigan State is not a top 10 team. And this will be even more the case next year after Cook is gone.

I guess if you keep saying that, odds are you are going to be correct every once in a while. But that would have made you wrong 4 out of the last 5 years.

The voice of irony chimes-in, again.

You do not know what the word "irony" means.

Very true. I think last year's Ohio State team was the first team in decades to finish the year with 3 wins over AP Final top 5 teams.

Lost at #2 (barely), at #3 (barely) & #4.

Damn injuries this year. What coulda been.

I know ND did that in 1988

Beat #4 Michigan
Beat #2 Miami
Beat #5 WVU

They also beat #7 USC.

Iowa and ND should be swapped.

great line.
should be ©'d and rendered on a t-shirt or something.
btw, aren't you overdue for your metamorphosis into a slug, or something?

 

[Mistaken4193]

Damn, Bama beat 9 teams in the Final top 30.

Fun Fact for today @MAIZEandBLUE09
Michigan State has as many top 10 finishes since the start of the BCS era as Michigan, four.

The BCS no longer exists so the last years don't count into the figure -- so jokes on you lol

Alright, Michigan State has never finished outside the top 10 and Michigan has never finished in the top 10. Does that make you feel better?

Yes Michigan State was "6" just as Michigan was "8" in 2006.

Navy finishes #18
Oklahoma State finishes #20

I remember when ND fans were laughed at to suggest Navy and Oklahoma State were similar teams. Isn't that right @clarkson23devils

I remember that it was when an ND fan said Notre Dame belonged in the CFP and was better than oklahoma. I also remember ND getting slammed by Stanford and OSU shortly after

There were a lot of other people who thought at time ND deserved it. And that was with the caveat they beat Stanford. Which they didn't so they didn't deserve it. You thought it was absurd that Navy even be mentioned in the same sentence as Okie State. Low and behold they finished as the higher ranked team.

 

[Tharvot]

Stanford at 3

Everyone should have seen that coming. Conf champs and slaughtered Iowa in the Rose Bowl.

I saw it coming, I just think it's stupid.

That's a hell of a statement coming from a Michigan fan. How pwned are you guys by Sparty again? Like 1-6 the last 7 years or something like that?

I think Harbaugh will get you guys back to regular 10 win seasons... but Michigan State isn't going away anytime soon.
