AP poll week 3

[WhiteMamba]

And IF my aunt had balls she'd... wait.. if she had balls you'd swing from them.

Ok, that was funny

You don't understand how polls work.

Im just saying when teams that have played each other are ranked next to each other in the polls with the same amount of losses, you would figure the team that won the head-to-head matchup would be ranked higher.

 

[romeo212000]

pretty absurd that anyone is ranking ohio state and leaving both virginia tech and east carolina off their ballots.

and why is michigan state ranked ahead of georgia and south carolina? all 3 have been beaten by good teams. the only difference is georgia and south carolina both have a good win while michigan state has yet to beat an FBS team.

big 10 poll bias.

Thanks for the neg. Bye bitch!

 

[Kid Vicarious]

Wow, 5 SEC west teams in the top 10 this week.

 

[The Crimson King]

Wow, 5 SEC west teams in the top 10 this week.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Did they win the game? Yes or no?

Should Boston College be ranked ahead of USC?

Sometimes the better team loses.

Stanford outplayed USC last week, they just failed to execute.

Same story for UGA and SCAR.

This is so problematic. If you are going to ignore the game outcomes when ranking teams, why bother playing the games at all?

How do you resolve Texas, Texas Tech, OU (2008 I think).

So South Carolina scores more points, gains more yards has 50% more first downs and has a better TOP but Georgia is better than them? Yeah, ok.

Outcomes of games are not being ignored.

South Carolina jumped up 10 spots, UGA fell 7 spots.

Was South Carolina's win at home so convincing that they should jump up more than 10 spots?

It was a 3 point win at home where UGA failed to execute on a few drives(two missed field goals by a kicked that set the SEC record for most consecutive FGs made, with a blown intentional grounding call on a deflected pass inside the 5 setting up the FG attempt to begin with).

And should Boston College be ranked ahead of USC?

If your answer is no, then your point is not valid.

 

[Golden Spur]

No I can't. I actually would East Carolina ranked the highest of those 3.

+1

 

[Chewbaccer]

And a long Gurley TD called back on a very questionable holding call.

 

[Chewbaccer]

So South Carolina scores more points, gains more yards has 50% more first downs and has a better TOP but Georgia is better than them? Yeah, ok.

Did you watch the game?

 

[pennstatenut]

Did you watch the game?

So my stats are meaningless but a Georgia fan saying Georgia is better holds more weight?

They not being ignored. They are being used with all the other evidence. You need to weigh all the facts not just one fact.

 

[Chewbaccer]

So my stats are meaningless but a Georgia fan saying Georgia is better holds more weight?

Well, stats are just numbers.

If you watched the game, UGA had multiple opportunities to win the game, but failed to execute.

Two missed field goals by a kicked that has been very reliable in his career.

A 54 yard TD run by Gurley called back by a very questionable holding call.

In a 3 point game, leaving 13 points on field is a pretty big deal. SCAR got the win, but UGA was the better team.

 

[occupant]

Well, stats are just numbers.

Just like....eh, I don't know...scoreboards?

Let's give them a pass guise. I mean, with the questionable calls against them and all...

Nobody has any business passing judgment on where these guise should be ranked. No one has all the details.

Where would you like to be ranked?

You have the right to pass judgement, just like I do.

Personally, I think they should be ranked right where they are.

But of course...right above the team that JUST beat you. Why not? Right?

Makes sense.

Well, as much sense as could be made when making CFB polls in this golden age.

And South Carolina made no mistakes that they'd like to have back either, right? You know, like the 2 turnovers.
