8 of 14 in the top 20.. what other conference has that many in there?

And you think that's totally legit don't you.

well.. Im going to take a play from this.. hey if ND is ranked as high as they are because of the competition they've played.. and oregon the same..then the rest of it must be right.. I mean the experts don't get it wrong because they are the experts....

That's a lazy argument for what you know is wrong.

One of those top 25 SEC teams struggled to beat Ole Miss and damn near let a WAC team beat them. That team has no business even being close to top 25.

Just how far do you want South Carolina to fall after losing by 2 points to LSU?

Someone explain to me your logic.


BTW, Just ask Mizzou what it's like to be in the SEC.

I want to know why it's ok for Oklahoma to fall 10 spots and South Carolina 6. Why was LSU ranked that high with a loss to begin with? Because of SEC bias.

USC dropped what 12 spots after losing by 7 to Stanford on the road?

That's the kind of shit we're talking about. If they were SEC they'd have dropped to #5

but they didnt lose... regardless if they looked bad/ugly .. a W is a W.. I don't necessarily agree... but then again.. who's right and who's wrong?.. I really don't know where any of these teams SHOULD be.. We havent lost yet.. and we have beaten a few top 25 ranked teams.. so shouldnt that put us higher then bama who hasnt? even though our wins have been less then spectacular.. we are still undefeated ... I don't understand how they get what they get .. I know that FL is undefeated and should be in the top of the rankings SOMEWHERE... along with other teams who are also undefeated.. where idk...

I don't know if you can use Mizzou as a good example given the amount of injuries they have had, one important before the season even started. They're playing with a makeshift team.

Make fun all you want. You know it's true.

was stanford ranked at the time that they beat USC? and if so what was their ranking?

The level of competition has a lot to do with it, otherwise SOS wouldn't be discussed so much. Fact is A&M has one of the weakest schedules in the SEC and has struggled to win. Hell, Texas blew out Ole Miss so it couldn't be that hard to beat them. (Had to get in a shot at Texas)

Do you not get that it's the inflated rankings that are justifying the lack of drop?

It's called a self licking ice cream cone. You're artificially ranked high. One of the two artificially ranked high teams loses. They don't drop very far. The other gets a huge boost. Do this with 4 or 5 teams and you get the SEC.

I don't necessarily disagree with the rankings.. its supposed to be experts who look at the level of competition and go on that kind of stuff.. and the reason they are ranked high is because of those factors.. again.. Im not an expert so IDK

 

[TigerBait1971]

polling is done by people much smarter than me apparently......they are regarded as experts in the field......I just enjoy the ride....

Sorry but if you think those "experts" don't have any bias you're nuts and incredibly naive. They also have Notre Dame ranked in the top 5. Sorry, but again, that's a lazy argument.

 

[TigerBait1971]

what is the reason for the experts' bias?
