re: Top 10 Tuesday

Notre Dame is going into the top 5, but Miami will not drop below 5th.

Tennessee just beat #6 and they also have a win over #5.

I don’t know if you can jump Texas over Alabama, since Bama had the better win today. I also don’t know if you can justify keeping Tennessee below Alabama (maybe couldn’t have last week either.) But what would be the justification for putting Tennessee just ahead of Texas, when Tennessee lost to them?

It’ll sort itself out, but I’m glad I don’t have the job of explaining it this week, however it’s stacked.
Dude literally just came back from a concussion.

I think they’re going to have a tough time with Alabama - Tennessee - Texas. They already had Alabama above Texas, Bama also got the better win today, but Tennessee smoked Alabama and now Kentucky, but lost to Texas…

If you went solely on who beat who, I guess it could reasonably be Texas, Tennessee, Alabama.

Top 10 Tuesday

1. Georgia
2. Utah
3. Indiana
4. Notre Dame
5. Miami
6. Tennessee
7. Alabama
8. Texas
9. UCLA
10. Texas Tech

ETA: flipped UCLA and Texas. I was thinking more about UCLA going on the road and beating Minnesota than I was about Texas being on the road at Missouri.

I don’t really know how to feel. On one hand, I hate the soft coverage, but on the other, we held LSU to their lowest point total in the first half this year…

Offense needs another 5+ minute drive.

Alabama gets the weirdest penalties

All year we’ve had penalties called on us that are rarely called.

How many times this year have we seen flags on us that everyone says, “Well, you don’t see it called often, but…”

I actually think if Russell pulls it back and tosses to the crosser it’s a first down if not a touchdown.

Oh man that was a beautiful drive… maybe the best of the year.

Running it up the middle was good. Let’s do it some more.

Bryce - $2 (a steal)
Henry - $5
Toney - $1
Devonta - $5
Surprised to see Sanders on the Questionable, I thought he was going to be a couple more weeks.
The Allstate Playoff Predictor on ESPN changed after last night’s rankings release. The chances of Alabama still making it in with a loss to LSU went from 45% to 60%.

That being said, I’d prefer to just not lose going forward.
2 years ago Trump had the opportunity to lock down the next 20-30 years of American conservative political dominance. Young voters, for the first time in decades, shifted hard to the right. He had a real chance to turn the United States back into a God-fearing, small government, socially conservative powerhouse.

Unfortunately, Trump never understood that, and frankly even if he had, I’m not sure he would’ve cared. He took that win as a total endorsement of his personal grievances and proceeded to squander the greatest political comeback in history.

Why did young people shift so drastically in 2024? The Democrats had proven themselves to be untrustworthy - on the economy, on foreign involvement, and transparency in government.

Here we sit 2 years later, looking an election with another seismic shift in younger voting, this time to the left. Why? Republicans proved themselves untrustworthy - on the economy, on foreign involvement, and transparency in government.

What a utter disappointment.

JD Vance should be furious at Trump

His chances at ever becoming president are basically over after this debacle. Probably Rubio too.

There are probably those in the Republican Party that are secretly glad for this outcome because it’s a referendum on MAGA, which was steamrolling traditional conservatives.

I’d like to think there’s a third option between hardcore MAGA (cult of Trump weirdos) and RINO’s like the Bushes and Romneys of the world. I would imagine Ron DeSantis might be feeling like ‘28 is a real possibility.

Gas is $3.45 near me. folks are filling up their $60k SUVs. $8 coffee is being guzzled all over town. Stock market has roared. I don’t get it. We were kicking arse.
Trump got elected on 3 things: cheap gas, a better economy, no new wars. He’s not delivered on any of that. The other stuff was nice, closing the border is great, but those 3 issues beat Kamala.

The stock market doesn’t matter to the average person.

$3.45 gas is still too high to the average person.

The Iran war has been a disaster.

And now you have a generation of young voters that feel duped by trusting Republicans to deliver on those promises.
Paxton was a terrible, awful candidate.

Why do Republicans keep putting their worst people out there?? The RNC needs to ditch some of these guys.
Went ahead and adjusted the thread title.

Seeing LSU fans lose their minds is one of my favorite things. They may beat us Saturday, but I’m having a good time.
