I'm sure this is germans, but we are undefeated and have beat 3 top 25 teams. By contrast, Ohio State has played 1, Oregon 1, Boise 1, TCU 1, Nebraska 0, Oklahoma 2, Auburn 1, Alabama 4 but has 1 loss.

I'm just saying, all this negative media attention is killing our ranking and its pretty stupid. At the end of the day, we haven't lost. I'd hate to see us go undefeated and have a team like Boise supplant our National Title hopes.

but how good were the 3 top 25 teams?

i think it's vague to just look at how many top 25 teams have you played.

and yes i know osu's sos is bad, very bad so far

Everybody complains about the computer rankings but they are about to sort this top 5 out.

I don't see this being an issue by year's end.

I think you need to look at the schedule of some of these highly ranked teams.


Something I think is funny is both TCU and Boise St. would use the same team to prove they are worthy. They both beat Oregon St.

Don't be so foolish, no chance that happens. If we were to go undefeated, we'll have to beat a ranked Bama, ranked AU, ranked Arky. Not to mention WV should win out and be close to the top ten.

VT on the other hand is no longer ranked. Boise doesn't stand a chance to get in ahead of us with and equal record.

Well we can just blame Bama for helping legitimize these programs.

Auburn 2004 says differently. LSU is not one of the darlings like Bama is or Florida is. Right now, Ohio State, a traditional darling and Oregon, a rather new darling are leading. Plus, ESPN will remind everyone of the blowout win that the ducks had over Tennessee.

NC is at 3-2 and suprising a lot of people

Vandy at 2-3 is certainly better than many non div i teams some of the top teams have played.

Miss State is not bad at all this year

West Virginia is a solid team

Tennessee is ok at best but did give Oregon a run for 3/4 of that game

Florida. Seriously we beat Florida at the Swamp and didnt move up in the rankings. They havent lost there in 12 games. I dont give a shite that they are down this year thats hard to do. Nobody in the top 10 wants a game there.
