Nice rankings and resume wrap ups imo... but Coach Saban would tell the players that your top tier is rat poison.

I'd probably move Kentucky up a tier.
Not sure whether your inner-tier rankings are listed in order; if so, I'm not sold on Auburn as the third best team in the league.

The poll voters are sold on it. I think Auburn has a better resume than LSU or A&M. Kentucky could go either way, but I see a bigger gap between Kentucky and B teams than I do between Kentucky and C teams. Florida could also be placed in D, but same reason. I thought about putting Florida in D and just merging C and D, but I think there is a decent gap between the groups.

I know.
I just don't get it.
But it's a moot point; the season still sets up for a few great SEC showdowns that should settle any debate.

We really gonna say the auburn win out weighs the state and troy loss

Enough to get them into the bottom of B tier, yeah. They won last weekend in the Swamp too. LSU is turning around and is rightfully top 5 in the conference. Even with a loss to Troy. A hilarious loss to Troy

Troy should be in there somewhere.
Posted on 10/15/17 at 2:39 pm to 4th and 1
And Southern Alabama

SC and KY should be up a tier

While Kelley played fairly well given the circumstances our team has gotten worse with each week. I would not surprised if we lost to Missouri this season.

Troy loss is like a monstrous wart on an otherwise hot chick's face.
The other loss is easily forgiven.

30 points to MSU is a pretty bad loss

Bump because I spent too much time on this

Agreed, now that we know MSU isn't worth shite this year.
The one silver lining is that we've seen LSU get punched in the mouth early twice this year: once at MSU and once against AU.
Against MSU, LSU didn't even attempt to punch back. We just sat in a corner with our tails tucked. Against AU, this team showed fight, and punched back pretty resoundingly.
I hope this means LSU has a lot of fight left in them. I really think those Freshman had no idea what hit them at MSU, and just didn't know how to respond.

AU should be in tier C, but rest looks good.
Posted on 10/16/17 at 12:00 pm to AggieDub14
Top and Bottom are correct. The middle should really just be one big group as that group is where each of those teams best wins and worst losses comes from sans Troy and UCLA.

So, if you best 2 C's and a D by 9 pts total in regulation, you earn a B tier? Neat.

A&M has won the last 3/4 conference games and held Bama to 1 score. Pretty hard to argue we don't belong in at least top 5 of the conference.
