Up to #8 in AP, up to #7 in the Coaches poll

[RBradleigh]

Looks pretty plausible. IMO, I swap PSU and Georgia as well as Miami and Texas.

Penn St best win is Illinois in 2 weeks they’ll get their 1st L against Ohio St.

I agree. Just my prediction of what tomorrow's rankings will look like.

 

[linesniper]

In a group text I just guessed a top six of
1) Oregon
2) Penn State
3) Georgia
4) Texas
5) Ohio State
6) Miami

I'm a little iffy on 4-5, but I'm just assuming they will put as many one loss teams ahead of us as they can.

Certainly possible, I have:

1) Oregon
2) Georgia
3) Penn State
4) Ohio State
5) Texas
6) Miami

Texas has wins over bad Michigan and bad Oklahoma teams and that’s it.

They may be ahead of us when the poll comes out they have not 1 single good win on the their resume and we should be higher than them but it’ll play itself out

Miami up to 5 now in the coaches poll

Miami up to 5 now in the coaches poll

They liked our win even though close. Did Louisville ever lead in the game? Bama took a nice little tumble.

 

[Jonnyblaze]

I’m no Oregon fan, but they really should be a unanimous #1 for this week.

 

[Cane&Abel]

Just win.

 

[JHallCanes]

I’m no Oregon fan, but they really should be a unanimous #1 for this week.

Agreed. I think OSU is the best team but Oregon beat them. Not sure what else there is to say

Very briefly after their first TD.

 

[mcnaire2004]

Miami will stay at 6. If they keep playing like this but stay undefeated they'll never get below 5.

That doesn't track. We're playing like this and undefeated.

I said the same last week ahead of the UGA/TX game.

Just win.

Wow. Truly an original take

(Like they’re mutually exclusive, can’t possibly discuss both the polls for fun, and the fact they don’t matter if you win your conference)

Ohio St. moves up beating last place Perdue.

In the olden days -maybe 1 or 2 years ago even- we would be ranked ahead of the 1 loses. This scenario would have enraged the fanbase and been a story oneam we beat, fini ESPN. Things are different now. No longer matters.

Side note: We won't play a single ranked team until ACCCG. That's so sad. What a topsy-turvy world.

In the event some of the teams we have beaten finish the season ranked, that should count.

My point is that it really doesn't matter what teams are ranked in the beginning of the season, the true litmus test is how they finish down the long run.

I'm not saying VT, CAL, Louisville, Duke, or Cuse will be ranked, but if they are, and / or finish the season strong, that should count.

Jumped a spot in the Coaches poll.

Texas fell to #6.

Louisvlille led 7-3 in the first quarter, before we scored 2 TDs.

 

[dycane]

I see nothing patently unfair about that poll other than ND ahead of BYU and Indiana.

This is pretty much the way I'd rank them.
