He flat out said the Memphis loss doesn't matter. That's true in terms of the SEC race, but it should affect SEC rankings.

His reasoning is fair and is looking at past results. Ole Miss has defeated Bama and lost to Florida. Ranked lower than Florida and above Bama.

Of course, they will not finish there. That is a ranking based on current results.

I wouldn't put any stock into what that guy says anymore. There was a time when i thought he was the only guy that "Gets it" and I still like the way they do their poll but he has gotten to the point where he seems to favor being controversial over being logical and that makes him end up looking like he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

I've always liked the CFN guys and I also have long thought that their rankings were more honest and realistic than the major polls. But Fiutak is taking this "team A beat Team B, so they should be ranked higher" thing too far, with Ole Miss being Exhibit A. That's a logical way to rank teams in the first few weeks of the season, but after a certain point, you have to recalculate based on a team's recent body of work.

Fiutak is just being diplomatic with these rankings. He has said every week since the beginning of the season that it would be Alabama vs Ohio State for the national championship, even after Bama lost to Ole Miss.

Most people realize that a team without an OL, a good rb, a suspect swag, and a vastly overrated defense isn't going to make it far in the SEC race. They were fortunate to come away with the bama game as all know, and I'd guess that on a neutral field right now Bama would be a 10 point favorite. Truth be known, Ole Miss struggled mightily with a bad Vandy team....Ole Miss could very well go 0-5 the rest of the way...they could easily lose @ State, vs LSU, Texas A&M, an improving Auburn team and an improving Arkansas team. My guess is they win 2 or 3 of those games and finish with 4 or 5 losses.
There are 3 teams in the Hunt for the NC. LSU/Bama/Florida....that's it.

there are a lot of those out there. Even if Bama loses again, then they win a few games at the end of the year....there will be a segment out there that is trying to pump up Bama as the greatest 2 loss team ever and should be in the playoff because they are certainly a top 4 team.
