A semi-impressive list of wins, but when you look deeper into it, it really isn't. The only legitimate win they had was against an LSU team that was emotionally spent from a hard fought Florida game. And the inability to come up clutch in the Egg Bowl leaves me with some doubts.
Vandy was 9-4 and finished in the top 25.

So what, it was a pre-season ranking? Are you really deserving or is it still just a guess?
Initially, probably not. But SC beating Georgia helped solidify the ranking.

So the overrated team you beat, beat another overrated team so that makes you properly rated? Seems legit

So it's by default?
What should they be ranked then?
They should be ranked 10th because so many teams ahead of them lost.
Are they the 10th best team in the country? Hell no.

Don't forget the overrated team that the other overrated team beat in Athens.

So what's the point of rankings?

Ah yes how could I forget

My question isn't how Ole Miss became ranked 10th. That answer is obvious. I'm asking what about your team do you think warrants a Top 10 ranking?

Could ATM, UGA, USC, and Clemson all be overrated? It's possible, but it doesn't seem likely. For now I think you have to assume they're all good (albeit flawed) teams.

The selection committee, they are going to start putting out their own Top 25 in October

Our defense is top 5 nationally in scoring that's enough right now(key words)

So I decided to look at what Ole Miss had done this year.
frick off. This is stupid. We are, where we are. We have won, while teams in front of us have lost. Simple as that.
quote:
So my next thought was maybe they had a great year last year and the expectations are for them to follow up with another great season.
3 of our 5 losses were one possession. We played @Vandy, @Texas, @Bama, @Auburn, and @MSU.

You can't be serious? You should remember the game we played before LSU. Leading up to LSU we played Texas, Bama, Auburn, A&M. Auburn and A&M being one possession games that we should have one.
But yeah, LSU was emotionally drained. HAHA, we couldn't even fill a 2-deep on defense for the LSU game and still won.

Ole Miss shouldn't be ranked at all
I agree. But neither should USC, UCLA, and a couple of others.
Posted on 9/19/14 at 12:09 pm to TexasAg13
You've obviously watched us play a lot.
Posted on 9/19/14 at 12:12 pm to Recruitingjunkie
Nobody should be ranked. Preseason rankings are fricking stupid just like you.
Posted on 9/19/14 at 12:12 pm to TexasAg13
Cause they are one of the 10 best teams in all of Division I college football.. Next question ?
