[ColoradoTide]

I can not only "live with it", I actually prefer it.

 

[Tideboy]

Sounds about right.

 

[bear facts]

All I care about is being #1 when the final polls are released. . . . Until then, all the Tide needs to do is keep finding ways to win no matter how ugly those might be.

 

[TidePride50]

Ranking mean nothing at this point in time. As long as we keep winning and win the SECCG, we are in.

 

[4th-and-1]

if we become number one again, i'll celebrate again. but i won't loose any sleep about being number two.. i just want the team to get healthy, win out, and solve this issue on the field..

 

[LBS]

Loss count and Head-to-Head match up with LSU are the only thing that matters for the rest of the season. After that, it all about winning the next game. Every thing else is irrelevant.

 

[BAMA JAMMA]

Ranking mean nothing at this point in time. As long as we keep winning and win the SECCG, we are in.

Agreed

We control our own destiny. We do what it takes to win each game and give Florida a revenge battle and win it, that's all that will matter.

 

[rolltide1969]

I'm just glad we have a week off to fix some things and heal up so we can get ready for LSU. Bama is still in control of it's own destiny so I have no problem with the rankings.

 

[Crimson13Tide]

Man, and I was just caring a great deal about us being ranked #5....then #3....then #1....

 

[UAgrad93]

It's not where you are in the beginning or midseason that counts, only after that final game played Jan 8th 2010.

 

[c5vetman]

How the He!! does Auburn get 2 votes for the top 25 when they just lost their 3rd straight game, and it wasn't even close?

 

[bamatommy]

All I care about is being #1 when the final polls are released. . . .
