Who gives a shit what's on the front of the jersey? They've played really well this year. I'm not going to rank 1 loss teams ahead of them that don't deserve it.

And yes, Colorado admittedly is probably too high. I was higher on them in the preseason, which is probably factoring into where I ranked them. No doubt the schedule has been atrocious. They should probably be behind some of those 1 loss teams.
Good point. So why isn't Cincinnati ahead of Washington in your rankings? Why isn't Buffalo ahead of Oklahoma State? Easy answer - everyone knows they're not better than those teams.

And Colorado deserves no ranking. You dogged me for putting michigan at 11th last week and yet, you have a team who has beaten 3 teams with a combined 1 win at 15th, and they only beat the first one because of a self-inflicted penalty on Nebraska. Otherwise they lost. They're 15th.

Glad you finally found some self awareness. Now we can all move on.

Comparing who Kentucky has beaten with that of Cincy is laughable. Also I do have Buffalo ranked. I have no problem someone ranking Cincy, but UK has beaten two teams better than what Cincy has.

I didn't say to rank Cincy ahead of UK, I said to rank them ahead of Washington. You said 1 loss teams who don't deserve it shouldn't be ranked higher than your unbeatens, so why is Washington ahead of Cincy?

Cincinnati beat UCLA at the Rose Bowl. They don't lose to non-conference opponents at the Rose Bowl.

Beat Miami OH, a rivalry game, in a tropical storm.

Came back from 3 scores down to beat Ohio. 3rd youngest team in all of college football did that.

Because Washington has better wins than Cincy, and actually lost in a competitive game against a top 10 team on a neutral field.

UCLA has been burning garbage juice so far... and they lost to Fresno State at the Rose Bowl, so there goes that theory.

Seriously, if you are hanging your hat on UCLA and Miami (no, not the Miami) as your big wins, just give it a little more time. You’ll squeeze in there no matter how bad your opponents are as long as you keep winning.

Oh come on, take the name off the front of the jersey. You're talking about losing to a wildly inconsistent Auburn team as the feather in your cap. If that was Kentucky's resume, you do not have them ranked and you know it.

11. Auburn (12)
12. Miami (FL) (13)
13. LSU (15)

I find it interesting that you have Auburn and Miami (FL) above LSU when LSU beat both Auburn and Miami. LSU beat Miami by 18 points.
