@4down20 Do you think you may be giving Florida a little too much cred at #9?

Maybe, but it seems like there is a large drop off this year after the first 5 or so teams.

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.

I don't think UNC is a Top 25 team right now, I have seen them play

Oh I agree that once you get past the first 5-6 teams its dicey, but I don't think anyone should just start throwing darts at that point.

Florida was handled by the only team with a pulse they've played, and its very evident that they suuuuuuck on the road. I see them dropping 2 more games minimum and 4 is possible.

They're the only thing sticking out at me from your poll...well, OU is too high but you always rank them too high.

Well when they played Tennessee, they had to use their backup QB. They also had the backup QB for the Vandy game as well. He was back for the Mizzou game and although he threw 3 INT's it looked like they were a bit better. And they are still carrying a somewhat decent defense, who got them 14 pts in that Mizzou game.

So I don't know, they are probably too high but I'm giving them a little bit off that lose and Vandy showing because of the QB.

9 is way too high.....i dont like ranking them at 15 but everyone else keeps fucking losing. not ranking auburn for some of the teams i do see on the lists in their place is ridiculous.

I think Florida would beat basically everyone I have after them.

I think Florida would have beat Tennessee with Del Rio, and it's the only loss.

And oddly enough as I look down the list, the team that I think would have the best chance of beating Florida is Florida St, who also has multiple losses, or Ole Miss, who has 3 losses.

florida could have beat tenn if not for four defensive gaffes, two of which went for scores......

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.

One word.... Showtime

That's your opinion.

Look at SOS and you'll see Clemson has been facing average to above average competition almost every week.

Clemson opp over .500
Auburn
NC State
GT
Louisville
Troy

Ohio State opp over .500
Oklahoma
Tulsa
Wisconsin

Who gives a shit? YOU base your rankings on if they beat teams over .500 lmao. Lol for putting Troy in there. They barely beat Troy and NC State
