SportsHoopla Week 8 Top 25 Discussion Thread

[tnapucco]

Ole Miss is clearly a Top 25 team. They have lost close games to Bama, FSU and Arkansas

Coach's poll is out...

@Volbound1700

You won't rank Western Michigan until they play someone but you rank Iowa??

What's the explanation?
Iowa wins: Minnesota, Iowa State, Rutgers, and Miami OH - they combined for 8 wins!
Western Michigan wins: Northwestern, Central Michigan, Georgia Southern, Illinois and Akron

My New Year's 6 (does not reflect my current ranking, they may change)

Peach(Semi): Alabama vs. Michigan
Fiesta(Semi): Washington vs. Clemson
Rose: Ohio State vs. Utah
Cotton: Boise State vs. Baylor
Sugar: Texas A&M vs. West Virginia
Orange: Nebraska vs. Louisville

Playoff Title: Alabama vs. Washington

Possible AT LARGES: Western Michigan, San Diego State, Houston, Navy, USF, Memphis, Troy, Toledo
Possible ACC: North Carolina, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh
Possible B1G: Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, Northwestern
Possible BXII: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU
Possible SEC: Auburn, LSU, Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee
Possible PAC12: Colorado, Washington State

What's shocking to me is that we've come so far in 2 years that if things kind of go as planned to a certain extent, we end up in the playoff or the Rose Bowl. That blows my mind considering the state of the B10, and Michigan, 2 years ago. If we make it to OSU undefeated and lose, I'm actually going to be disappointed going to the Rose.

I can't believe Washington State isn't ranked yet.

I'm going to rank them this week.

If I could ignore the FCS loss, I'd probably put them in the top10.

There's no way you have FSU ranked at 16, and Oklahoma ranked, and not have UNC in the top 25.

UNC beat FSU on the road. Which had not been done for years.

Who has Oklahoma beaten? TCU has no defense. Texas has no defense. KState is a joke. They got destroyed at home by Ohio State(with perfect field conditions) and got handled by Houston.

UNC lost to VT at home in a monsoon and lost to a healthy Georgia team with Nick Chubb at full speed.

2 road wins vs. ranked teams in FSU and Miami. Also beat Pitt.

FSU has wins over USF, Miami, and Ole Miss, respectively. But they got gangbanged by Louisville. And probably still would today.

Overall:
UNC - great wins, average losses
FSU - great wins, great losses
Oklahoma - great losses, average wins

UNC>FSU>Oklahoma by all accounts.

UNC got drilled by Va Tech and pretty bad by Georgia who is pretty average. OU is playing better and UNC is not

UNC led most of the Georgia game, so that's BS.

And if you want to see what happens when passing teams get caught in torrential downpours, watch TCU/Baylor from last season.

That's how the VT/UNC game was.

VT was playing in the same monsoon and it didn't seem to bother them. This is the same VT that was just smoked by 2-4 Syracuse. UNC has narrowly beaten an overrated FSU and an extremely overrated Miami (you wanna talk about not beating anyone, take a look at what Miami has done).

Beating FSU on the road>Beating Oklahoma on the road

Syracuse did what UNC would have done on dry grass.

Right... UNC just isn't that good. Neither really is FSU. I fully expect Clemson to whip on FSU, just like any of the top 10 teams in the country likely would do. Something is not right in Tallahassee for some reason, even though they have all this highly-rated talent.

 

[The Crimson King]

Lol, auburn at 13?

 

[Hook'Em0608]

Lol, auburn at 13?

Why not? I saw a Florida St at #8 or some shit floating around in there too. On October 16th we've got top 10 2 loss teams and ranked 3 loss teams. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Can't remember a season where people are so dug in on their preseason favorites as this season. Just refuse to drop people after a loss...

Be careful with your alliteration. You do have to play them again. Just sayin'.

Congrats, OSU has reached Baylor's level.

Maybe some day, Bama will be able to beat Oklahoma like that. Lord knows they haven't come close recently.
