I know people think it's crazy, but Penn St should not drop in the rankings just because they lost.

#11 Washington trounced #20 BYU. The same BYU that beat Wiscy in their house.

they should because they have a shitty coach

Fuck Penn St.

Sorry I didn't see this before posting my top 10.

think colorado is now in the top 25

Colorado beat:

(1-4) Colorado State
(0-4) Nebraska
(0-4) New Hampshire FCS
(0-4) UCLA

That is some Art Briles Baylor level scheduling to get themselves ranked.

That's actually pretty damn crazy.

4 games in and your opponents have combined for 1 win.

truth, however col state usually decent and rivalry, nebraska was prolly good when they scheduled, same as ucla

I would say yes on Colorado, but I have them in the 20s.

Michigan's only loss is to Notre Dame (which I have bumping up really high) but they don't have any big quality wins. I have them in the mid-lower teens.

VT dominated Duke and completely dominated Florida State. Loss to ODU really hurt. I got them in the 20s.

I don't have any 2 loss teams ranked at this point. So, TTU is a no.

how high does ucf keep climbing

I would rank them for the first time this year. It's their schedule being such crap that makes me shy about ranking them higher like others, but they did a decent job against Pitt and handled them the way a ranked team should.

SoS is ranked 123 out of 130 FBS teams.

BCF Toys - 2018 SOS Ratings

Their best opponents are ranked in the 40s in the FEI, then 2 in the 50s, the others beyond that. They are probably a good team, but it wasn't too long ago they were pretty bad and their schedule is still in getting bowl eligible mode so it's hard to tell. There are a good amount of teams that could win the games they've won and win the games they have left too.

Their schedule is way worse than it was years ago with Boise St, TCU and Utah. Those teams were in the 60's-80's at worse and played at least one good opponent. This is like when Marshall would go undefeated to me.

Quality loss?

Call it what you want, but the game and score was what you would expect from a top5 team vs a top10 team. It looks to me like they were correctly ranked coming into the game, so no correction is needed.

If Ohio St blows them out, even by less than 31 pts, then Penn St drops

They won’t, at least much, in the real rankings because the AP seems to love them. We’ve seen them struggle with App state, Illinois, and now they finally lost a game. I say send them down the ranks a bit.

 

[jon2tanman]

How long before Washington is ranked above Auburn? I understand we lost to Auburn, however I think most would agree that Washington is a better team at this point.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

The bottom half all lost. Even North Texas who were on our backs lost. It's Cincinnati's time!

The Bearcats are back baby!!!!!!!! Let's gooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
