And can’t punish OSU for losing at #4 by a point.

Yes you can because they should’ve never been in a position to be anywhere close to losing this game. Texas turned the ball over twice in their first four plays from scrimmage. That isn’t exactly number 1 ranked team behavior.

Ohio State couldn’t punish them sufficiently for either of those mistakes. In fact Ohio Statets offense looked absolute dreadful at times, and at best when they didn’t look bad they looked extremely timid.

OSU has one of the best secondary’s in the country. You could nit pick and make an argument between three teams,‘them Us and Alabama for who the actual number 1 secondary is.

Also at a certain point it doesn’t really matter that we played WKU. We are averaging 65 ppg with our ones barely averaging a little more than a single quarter of playing time in both games.

It’s extremely easy to make the case UGA is number 1.

Texas definitely has the best win, but they were extremely sloppy in that game, and had they been playing a team like say UGA or LSU or Miami who could actually punish them for their sloppy play they would’ve been beaten by 17+

That’s why I think it’s very fair to have to them where I have them. It rewards them for the best win of the season but doesn’t give them the full reward because it looked like two cripples fighting each other


Miami is much the same argument I made for us. It’s extremely clear how good both Miami and UGA are. I would say the same for LSU, even though I think Clemson sucks they at least completely decimated a p4 opponent.

ND is the only team your arguments don’t make sense for. They very well might be the best team in the county; but they haven’t exactly been as impressive so far as teams like UGA and Miami have been against teams they should slaughter, I refuse to rank them top 5 until they play BYU at least

Texas
LSU
Miami
Ohio State
Indiana

I’m sorry, I just can’t put Indiana in any top 5 conversation until I see them without their star quarterback against somebody with a pulse. They could be, but I can’t put them there yet.

I don’t think you can really judge a team from playing someone who is significantly below their level. You judge teams based off how they played similarly talented teams and go from there. Everyone else is an unknown and therefore it’s dumb to try and say they’re good based on how they played against poor competition.

I hate doing rankings this early, but if I have to go strictly on what we’ve seen so far, I guess you’d have to put A&M. And I fricking hate doing that.

I think next week is going to answer a lot more questions though. Especially about LSU.

So when we beat Arkansas 60-3 next week you’ll agree we are number 1 right? They’re a p4 team!

I’m also fine with putting OSU there. Just not Indiana.

Still don’t have a clue. Need 2 more weeks. What we do know is who has the talent at skill spots and who has at least a defensive who can complete games.

UGA hasn’t been tested.
UTK responded well on the road at GT
UT came back and finished in the 4th
Ohio State didn’t finish
Michigan responded well after a bad start
Oregon is a fraud this year but still has the talent to beat you
LSU has a top tier D. Need more consistency out of QB
OM has monster skill players with issues at defense
Miami looks great but against who
OU sucks but will ruin a few seasons
Indian looks good but not tested
Clemson sucks donkey balls


State about to frick some shite up this year

This is exactly what I think everyone isn't thinking about. They are ranked based on last year's team. Most of the great players are gone. People are trying to compare a green apple to a red apple here.
