AP Poll released

[Chewbaccer]

Do you know why the SEC & ACC voted to play 8 conference games vs 9? It's so they could milk the system.

A lot of SEC and ACC teams play each other annually, and if there's an advantage to be had, you'd be a fool not to take it.

 

[GNG]

Wow, TCU top 10? Interesting....

 

[TheDayMan]

I bet you think about this 24-7.

I see what you did there.

 

[iowajerms]

Of course it's all subjective. And any person could objectively say USC probably beats us and rolls Texas if they were at least 75% healthy.

Ohio State took a gamble playing Oklahoma. If Ohio State won, they would be in the conversation with Alabama and Clemson. Since they lost, they haven't beaten anybody. Now, they are among the top 1-loss teams, but they haven't really beaten anyone, according to the current rankings.

Now, I don't have a problem with Washington State above Michigan. Current AP Poll has USC above Florida, so there is an argument there. But it is not horrible that Michigan is ranked above Washington State as well.

yeah I probably shouldn't, because he's probably the only one who doesn't.

Those dominating victories over powerhouses of Cincinnati, Air Force and Purdue prove you guys belong in the top 20? I'll give you guys credit, I'm sure you could get 20 points on us and hold us under 40.

Oh, I think most people would think Air Force, Cincinnati, and Purdue compare favorably to Montana State, Nevada, and Oregon State at this point in the season. Michigan's defense has allowed opponents only 13.5 points per game while Washington State has allowed 25.2 points per game, nearly double the amount Michigan has allowed. So, I'm sure Michigan would hold Washington State well "under 40."

I think "Every player I've recruited since coming to Alabama has won a National Championship before they graduated or went to the NFL" works better.

Getting all excited for a poll that don't mean shit! Priceless!

The SEC called and your head rent is delinquent.

 

[navamind]

about time they got LSU and MSU out of there

 

[mall3013]

I fvcking knew it. I hope that nut case in NK has nukes that can reach the east coast.

What's with the butthurt @AlaskaGuy ?

ESP1N called the $EC and said they're ready for another mouthful.

Jelly?

Oil prices stayed down, he hasn't made money in a year and his mail order brides have all left him.

 

[NolePride]

How come FSU is only 27th. We won a game.
What more do they want?

 

[Codaxx]

Not quite felling Penn State. Close call with Iowa. Same Iowa that went to double overtime with ISU. Its early, so I am probably being a bit over critical

 

[B_dub]

Better win? All wins are counted the same--in the "W" column. Did the win over those Montana State Bobcats go to your head?

Dude. Your arguing with a guy who over a year ago said Oklahoma and Clemson didn't have a single QB or WR on their roster that even came close to what WSU has. Just off the top of my head , besides 3 of the Heisman finalists, Mayfield, Westbrook, and Watson, (Not to mention Mike Williams, another 1st Rounder), he obviously knows his shit. I just take what he says as 100% fact and move on.

And that's fair, I'm more speaking in defense of us, not trying to shoot down other teams.

So congrats, your backups (excluding QB) are better than ours, would you like a cookie or bring a big boy argument to the table?
