We will be no worse than #8. We had the most impressive win this week. 3 teams lost ahead of us. The CFP will know they didn't rank us correctly at 14 and will compensate accordingly. There are teams ahead of us that won like Okie Lite that we will jump.

Well rankings are based on entire season body of work.. not just a 4 week span.
All games count
It's certainly been a tough 4 week span for you, t-shirt sip!

We lost two games we shouldn't have. It's on us.

I'd guess we're 11. Other than Auburn and Baylor, who would we jump this week?

Edit: forgot to include Wake

11. We jump Baylor, Auburn, Wake.Michigan St isn't falling out of the top 10.

Yeah forgot to list them but was factoring them in when assuming we'll be 11

We've lost to two bad teams. Different team now but the complaining is expected and as usual mostly dumb.


It's how you're playing now that matters now


To a certain extent. I think we get rewarded by the win and jump to 10. We're playing like a top ranked team and if we beat Ole Miss, it gets interesting. Especially when AU beats Bama and we beat UGA's ass!

Notre Dame --- how about passing them?

A&M has more quality wins

Unless you are Bama or Ohio state.

No they showed us last year we aren't passing Notre Dame.

Why 8? We are 14 now, and I would expect us to move past Auburn (obviously), Baylor, and Wake. Possibly we could pass Okie State or ND but I wouldn't expect that. We will be the highest ranked 2-loss team. I think we are obviously better than when we got those losses but at the end of the day you are what your record says you are as Parcells famously quipped.

I'm expecting 11, and hoping for 9 or 10, not sure where 8 is coming from unless this is just fake message board outrage; I don't see 8 at all.

You bet your ass if it were the sips or the buck nuts, they'd be Top 5-6, using the backup QB excuse they won't use for us.

Finally somebody gets how this all works.

I'm gonna go with 10.

We definitely jump 3 losers as stated.

They wont drop Cincy far, maybe a spot or 2. Just enough to keep out of playoffs. They will stay ahead of 2 loss teams until they lose...which they will.

We can only crawl up each week.
We lost 2 bad games. We'll pay the price until others lose enough. Sports aren't fair typically.
Our defense should have won one of those 2 games, but they were off those weeks.

Im assuming 11, hoping for 10. Beating Ole Miss (no given) next week we give us another bump. Big 10 will continue beating each other.

And nothing matters if Bama doesnt lose again.
If we cant get a shot at Georgia, we arent playoff.
Ludicrous to think otherwise.

We better be too 8 after this win based upon those who lost today.


10 or 11.

Don't overinflate our standing. It's a recipe for disappointment. And theres no sense in being disappointed by November polls.

You guys realize rankings are about hype right?

We are #3 in the SEC and we play a 15th ranked (last week) OM next week. They will buoy both teams because other than bama/auburn there really isnt another significant game on the SEC schedule until uga/westdivisionwinner.

College football fans: Boast about great the regular season is because every game is a playoff until you wish it wasn't.

It's past time to change the post season, increasing playoff teams and get rid of bowl games involved in playoffs.

Best analogy I've heard is that we're on the 16th tee box having an incredible round of golf, and if it wasn't for the couple of triples on the 3rd & 4th holes, we'd be winning the tournament right now.

Obviously we jump Auburn, Baylor and Wake Forest.

Mich St won't drop that far and still with just 1 loss, they stay ahead of us.

I doubt we jump anyone else. ND and OkSt would be the next 2 above us.

I say we come in at 11.

I think #10. We are at the LEAST 11 - and maybe jump OSU - but not Michigan or Notre Dame. OSU only has one loss but has been unimpressive in quite a few of their wins.
