Me too. However I think ND might get left out because no conference championship to play for even if they were to win out. Stanford shouldn’t be ranked.
Ga has 1 quality win and just like every year they’re obsessed with b1g. Wisc should be 10 at most.

Personally, I'm fine sitting at No. 6. Both of those one loss teams were better losses than ours, IMO. Take care of business, I think the committee will put us in the top 4.

Agreed. These polls mean absolutely nothing. Just spinning the biased opinions. Playoff committee will take a real look at evryones body of work in the end and a real eye test at the end of the season .

And amazingly, AP and Coaches Poll will "fall in line."
I think Tigers will be either #4, or #5 with a bullet in the Tuesday's CFP.
Go, Tigers

Doesn't really matter anyway, until the last one. I'd love to see us play in the playoffs. Good luck!

I find it funny that Miami isn't top 5 but Wisconsin is. They are both undefeated and have played weak schedules

I agree. The Badgers would get skinned alive by the Tiger D. Wisconsin hasn't beaten anyone and has a bunch of mediocre teams the rest of the way. Even the Michigan game is at Wisconsin.

Ohio State and Wisconsin have no business being ranked ahead of us.

That Syracuse loss needs to fade away in the minds of the voters. Throttling NC State would go a long way to making sure that happens.

The problem is we are not going to throttle NC state. We are capable, but we will pull our starters long before that happens. This is why the eye candy test for us is not good. Our coaches need to let us put a beat down on NC state to jump back in front of notre Dame.

One of the reasons that our defense reloads every year is that we skip the growing pains of not having experience. Our defensive players get lots of playing time before starting...besides for the freak of nature exceptions like defensive tackle.

That one doesn't even matter. Just fuel for conversation at this point. Lots of football left.

Sucks but it's hard to argue . Notre Dame has two quality wins in a loss to a good team . We have 3 quality wins and a loss to a mediocre team ( I take Louisville off the list they suck ). Georgia will lose 2 games. We just need to take care of business

Hey, the Coots have 4 wins over SEC Least Teams...
Oct 29, 2017, 4:11 PM

Of course, the combined record of those teams in the SEC is 1-15. Muscoot is building a championship team down at the Dumpster!

I have no problem with where we are ranked in either poll. I can see us at fifth or sixth. Like it's been said numerous times, if we win out we'll end up in the playoffs. 12-1 defending national champs won't be left out. Lose another game and there's nothing to talk about other than what bowl we make.

What's to love about the Big Ten?
Oct 29, 2017, 9:42 PM
|

The Big Ten has been outscored 68-0 in the last two playoffs.
I'm not buying Miami, though. They're winning games, but not looking anywhere near dominant. VT will pound them, then ND will too.

Unfortunately, this is where style points come into play. Given the domer national bias, we'll be graded on how we played NCState vs how ND played them. It won't matter that were playing in Raleigh. Tigers need to win convincingly.

Tigers take care of business on Saturday, for the next 5 weeks, and CFP will give us the chance for a 3-peat. AO and coaches poll are meaningless.

Not surprised; probably the #1 historic media darling (and they seem to be good this year). However, I keep thinking about how they embarrassed themselves in 2012.
