Even with that loss, Bama should move up anywhere between #3-5.

They are top 5. No arguing that.

3. Alabama

You KNOW Notre Dame will be #2, even though my high school has played a tougher schedule.

Notre Dame should be #1. They have God on their side to ward off the bad juju of being ranked #1. Im not sure UGA is top 10.

It is literally impossible to say this with the certainty you are implying it with or even to make an educated guess until they AT LEAST play BYU.

If ND is going to schedule a SOS that is ranked in the 60s they should be punished for it.

Again if you are going off who has shown to be the best teams blended with who has the best resume of wins and losses it should very clearly be

UGA
Ohio State
Alabama


Then id probably stick Miami at 4 but again I dont care much after that.

As for other SEC teams Texas likely falls to the 7-10 range

UK should be at most 15 but more realistically somewhere 16-20

Mizzou should be 11-14

LSU should be somewhere 20-25

Ole Miss should be around 10

Tennesee should be in the same group as Zou and Moo State should be ranked immediately behind wherever Kentucky is

Georgia and Alabama look like the two best teams in the country. Notre Dame and Miami are probably also in the top 4 we just wont know anything about either of them until the playoffs start and they play some real teams. Outside of those four there isnt a single other team that looks capable of winning multiple playoff games at this point.

I imagine it will be...

1. UGA
2. Notre Dame
3. Miami

But after that, who knows where they'll put Indiana. Ohio st and Bama both probably belong in the top 5, but look out for some other unbeatens that are working their way up the polls...UCLA, BYU and Utah are all looking pretty good.

Should be interesting to see how they sort that out. The eye test says definitely top 5.

I'm also curious what they do with LSU. 2 losses now. Still ranked in mid to low teens I bet.

IMO LSU finds themselves in the 20-25 range

There is still way too many unbeaten and 1 loss teams to justify them any higher

Unless he's able to throw himself the ball and play defense, there's only so far Jeremiah will be able to carry the team. He wont be able to beat good teams all on his own.

They won't. They'll be 7 or 8.

My guess is Bama will be 7 in the AP but top 5 in the first CFP poll when it’s released if they don’t lose again before then which they shouldn’t. These AP voters have been for more prone to over reacting this year though; case in point, Florida.

Alabama might deserve a top 5 spot, but I don't think they'll get one. I think they'll remain 6th/7th like they were before this weekend. The only other top 10 teams to lose were Texas and LSU.
