Texas has no business being ranked.

Alabama has no business being a top 15 team.

UGA should drop more after losing to an unranked Auburn team.

Kentucky and Tennessee should be top 10.

Why should UGA be above Tennesee?


Tennessee lost to Texas and you claim Texas should be unranked and that Tennessee should be ahead of Georgia because Georgia lost a rival game against Auburn.

And you think Alabama, who has likely played the 2nd toughest schedule in the country right now doesn't belong in the top15 because they lost games to a top5 teams and what you think should be a top10 team, because 11th is too low. Meanwhile, Alabama has a blow out win over Kentucky which you think should also be a top10 team.

That is some of the dumbest shite I've ever read about rankings.

Lets see your perfect top25.

These rankings seem very fair and unbiased….. especially the Top 10.

Well done AP voters…….

a better win against Bama at home - yes Better loss? Not on your life, Texas is WAY overrated - Auburn looks like a better team


Well Texas is still ranked and beat a team the top 5.

Auburn did not and is not ranked.


Using voters own metrics, Tennessee has a better loss

Are you just being contrarian again?

Should we play games & have a football season? or just mail a trophy to the team that on3 says has the best roster in August

Auburn has close losses to Florida and Tennessee. They should be ranked.

Thats irrelevant when polls dictate the playoffs.

The playoff committee will basically copy these polls and we all know it.


You're just stupid and make stupid claims.

The AP and committee rarely agree outside the top few teams which are usually so obvious everyone agrees.

Doent matter what we think. They make this shite up weekly.

Apparently a loss to Auburn only drops you 3 spots but somehow a loss to Texas who is ranked means you arent even a top 10 team after waxxing bama.

These polls make 0 sense every week. Its all for ratings and money. Bama should not be in playoff contention right now. Our only decent win is Kentucky and the polls dont even respect them.

It was only double digits because Auburn went for it at the end of the game when they were near their goal line, dumb arse. Auburn basically lost by 5 points on the road.

Auburn will be top 20 if they beat LSU.

It’s too early to give a shite about polls.

Poll inertia is a thing


Some people hate Clay Travis, but he used to do a ranking just based only on what has happened thus far.

Pollsters sort of protect their opinion by getting anchored to things that have nothing to do with what has actually happened so far.

Bama shouldn't be in the top 20 right now.

Seriously

There's 6 or 7 teams from the SEC that are clearly better.

...and if Kentucky played them right now, they'd beat them by double digits.

So none of that matters? It was a 10-point win. And Tennessee dominated them defensively the whole game

Why? OU wasn't ranked after beating Texas. This is why pre-season polls are fricking retarded. I mean, ya, beating the #1 team at home is an accomplishment, but they were terrible before that.

That's a false dilemma.

What you do is you take a look at the entire body of work and not just the previous weeks results.
