Both have a "better loss" than ole miss

Alabama did NOT look good vs a Tennessee team they should've manhandled.

But both don't have nearly as good of wins.

Again, what have those two teams done besides lose close games on the road? Michigan State beat Nebraska. Notre Dame beat Stanford.

Ole Miss lost a game on the road to LSU that Michigan State and Notre Dame probably couldn't win either. And then they also have two wins against ranked teams. One being a top 5 team in the country. And if you're gonna give Notre Dame credit for beating Stanford, then you have to give Ole Miss credit for beating Boise.


I don't think Alabama looked great against Tennessee. I have them 6th. I think people are overvaluing them. But you might be undervaluing them a bit here.

Bump.

Alabama has one win over a ranked team. aTm, who isn't in it anymore. West Virginia was not ranked when Alabama beat them. They are now, but they likely won't be after this weekend.

How come when people want to use the "eye test," they only seem to want to use it for SEC teams?

If a team from the Big 12 or Pac 12 had zero or one win over ranked teams, we wouldn't have them anywhere near the top 3.

Is it because of what they've done over the past five seasons? Their brand name? What the conference as a whole has done?

Just wondering. It's always interesting to me. Still seems like if they're gonna base this thing off of strength of schedule and overall resumes, then they should do that evenly across the conferences.

+1

Your hate for Bama is palpable. How did it feel beating them in the Sugar Bowl only to start the season ranked behind them?

This is what it will be


MSU
FSU
Alabama
Oregon




But it should be

MSU
FSU
Auburn
Notre Dame / Ole Miss

I pretty much agree with this.

Except I'd have TCU #4. Notre Dame way down lower.

TCU has looked really impressive so far. I kinda find myself hoping that they win the Big 12 and get into the playoff. If they were named OU there would be no question they would be included but the opinion polls are reliably biased in favor of name programs over lesser, or no-name, programs

Agree. TCU is underrated.

when MSU absolutely trounced Auburn?

did you watch the game?

Auburn is up there due to the fact that we have higher wins and our loss was against the #1 team.


Notre Dame should not be 15

If Florida State loses Thursday, it's gonna throw a wrench into everything.
