Nerve-wracking?

Listen here Summers Eve, If your nerves were wracked, you need to pull your balls out of your watch pocket.

So we are 7 and bama is 4. We boat raced usf in their building and bama struggled w them at home until half way through the 4th. We also boat raced Florida, SEC in their building week one.

This is why the polls are stupid to even have until mid October. It’s all what the media wants you to believe.

But that’s fine. I’m not saying we are better than Bama but if you are judging on the field results through 4 games…….

CFP Bracket Watch: Texas, Ohio State, Miami, Utah are top seeds as SEC hoards 1st-round home games

The top four seeds remain locked into The Associated Press’ College Football Playoff bracket projection as Miami and Utah move up the Top 25.

what do you all think of the matchups? I would prefer winner of Ole Miss-Oregon or PSU-Vols, but knocking off Bama would be a changing of the guard in the top of cfb which has been UGA, Ohio State , Bama, and recently Texas. UM could take Bamas slot. Cristobal has done a remarkable job with the roster but the fans should get some credit as well as none of this is possible without the NIL we’ve contributed.

In fairness, the composite computer ratings have Alabama at #2 and us at #15. So if anything, the media is propping us up better than computers which aren't trying to sell a narrative.

Well you could include me in your post. I was extremely concerned with our play in the 1st half. I told my wife I hoped we would come out the 2nd like Bama did and the Canes did not disappoint.
 
Tennessee looks like the number 1 team. Surprised Texas is there at 1

Texas still has the most impressive win of the season. The Tennessee win over Oklahoma is nice but the Texas performance at Michigan was dominant.

We have basically the same resume. They got a couple cakewalks, then their signature win so far has been a win over a close win over an Oklahoma team that barely beat Houston (their biggest win of the season). They beat up an awful NC St.

We played Florida on the road and obliterated them. Then we dominated USF in their house. There is no doubt USF could beat NC St.
