Why would Vanderbilt drop out of the polls after a close loss to Texas? If they believed that Vandy deserved to be ranked last week then if anything they should move up in the polls this week.

It so fricking stupid how easy the ACC and Big 10 schedule is while the SEC is beating the crap out of each other.


Remember that when people push for 9 game conference schedules.

How does it reopen the door for OSU really? OSU plays Penn St the same weekend. If Oregon loses a game they'll still be in playoffs anyways.

I think they will extend the CFB playoffs when that happens. 16 teams is inevitably going to happen.

Honestly, indiana is overrated at this point.


They clearly pass the eye test, though. They're a solid squad and I assure you tOSU is NOT looking forward to that test. tOSU has looked awful compared to IU.

fricking right. That’s a narrative from OSU and Clemson folks. They want us to beat the shite out of each other.

Why? Tennessee is ranked above Arkansas, Georgia over Bama and ND over NIU -

There are no rules that you have to play ranked teams in order to achieve a high ranking. 2007 Kansas played ZERO ranked teams while going 11-0 before their final regular season game against #4 Missouri. Kansas was BCS #2 going into the game.

Miami doesn't play a single ranked team in the regular season. They somehow avoided Clemson, Pitt, AND SMU. The conferences are too big and the schedules are just massively out of whack these days.

That Notre Dame loss makes it hard to move us up. They don’t play anyone tough enough to move themselves up in the rankings and it would be hard to rank us ahead of them since they beat us.
That makes no sense. They lost to Northern Illinois. We lost to Notre Dame.

Head-to-head isn't everything, nor should it be.

Vandy should have maintained at 25.

I know for a fact we could beat 3 of the 5 ahead of us, all 5 if we have a good day and they have a bad one.

None of that matters though, we're about where we should be..maybe a spot too high if I'm honest and just based on our performance the last two games.

The polls were meaningless the first half of the season, but we're quickly approaching the time where it does make a difference, but I'm glad we have some room to climb back up and the time to do it. I want aggy top 5 when we play them, don't stumble ags!

Their games to date…

North Dakota 21-3
Iowa 20-19
Arkansas State 52-7
Houston 20-0
Baylor 43-21
West Virginia 28-16
UCF 38-35
Think of Iowa State as the '24 version of Vandy. You take them lightly and sleepwalk through the game and you'll be staring at an L before you know it. Of course that's all a Campbell coached team is good for. Once they face superior talent that isn't sleepwalking, they will crumble.
