🏈 Rankings

[RollllTide!]

Thought we would be ranked a little higher.

Surprised we're ranked that high... who else would you have put us ahead of?

 

[rick4bama]

Yes, but Bama is the highest rank one lose team. Seven teams below Bama still not lose yet. FSU, OKSt, Iowa, Memphis, Toledo. I think Memphis should be some more ahead just because this team beat an SEC team.

I know we lost at home to Ole Miss, but who's has wins over 3 top 25 teams? All three of those coming as away games.

We should be in the top 4, just too many teams who are undefeated currently.

We are where we deserve to be. A win over LSU will launch us up. I reckon a few top 10 teams will lose as well.

In terms of power wins and strength of schedule, I think we win those easily.

Ohio

Baylor is more deserving to be #1. They don't play defense worth a dang, but no team has won by that many points consistantly this season and has looked like it since Game 1.

Ohio

Ohio State is only ranked as high as they are due to preseason rankings and their NC win. They are not deserving of that spot given their games this year.

In the Sagarin ratings, we are #1. Among Sagarin's top 30 teams, we are one of only four teams with a top ten rated toughest schedule. We are also the only team in Sagarin's top 30 with 3 wins against top 30 teams, and the only one with four games against top 30 teams.

I think these "unofficial", don't mean anything rankings actually set a basis that influence the playoff committee. My guess is the playoff committee's initial rankings will very closely mirror the mean nothing rankings. We already see that "we" can't separate last year from this year when we keep OSU ranked number one because they are the "defending national champs". Which is bogus because they aren't defending the trophy they won last season. If they don't win the title this season no one is going to come take the trophy they won last year away. It stays with them. Yet I promise you, no matter how bad OSU continues to play, if they keep winning the playoff committee will have them in their initial top four slots. Which to me proves this system is just as bogus as they claimed the BCS was.

A bad undefeated OSU team that has been ranked #1 all season will still make it to the playoffs. Guaranteed. That will eat up a valuable spot for a much more deserving team. Which is bullshit.

These polls don't matter

Neither Ole Miss nor UGA deserve to be in the top 25 and I don't expect they'll stay there very long.

I'm not so much worried about the rankings... if Bama wins out and Ole Miss can drop one more conference game, we'll be in. If we don't win out it won't matter...

The team that won it all last year wasn't even in the top 15 at this point.....
