It’s the same every week.


Nov 19, 2019, 7:15 PM

Highest ranked undefeated team....SEC.
Highest ranked one loss team....SEC.
Highest ranked two loss team....SEC.
Highest ranked three loss team....SEC.
Sigh.

Re: before long they will put three in bank on it- No 8


Nov 19, 2019, 7:46 PM

reward excellence because you are exactly right. they try to pack in several SEC every year now. W 8 it would be ridiculous.

Well the SEC is the best conference, so it makes sense.

best if you just look at over inflated rankings


Nov 19, 2019, 7:19 PM

but when you watch florida or auburn play nah they just slightly above average.

Re: best if you just look at over inflated rankings


Nov 19, 2019, 7:25 PM

Florida and Auburn would probably go undefeated in the ACC if they were in it and we were not.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wish I could bet you on that


Nov 19, 2019, 7:36 PM

Strongly disagree

They are both way better than our 2nd best team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ummm.....


Nov 19, 2019, 7:46 PM

Florida 24 Miami 20. Not sure that's "way better", nor is Miami the second best team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Ummm.....


Nov 19, 2019, 7:48 PM

We beat NC 21-20. I think if Florida played Miami 10 times they would win 7 or 8 times.

That speaks pretty highly of UNC that they only lost by one


Nov 19, 2019, 7:55 PM

to the undefeated, defending champion on a 20+ game win streak. Why don’t they get credit for a “quality loss” instead of us getting dinged for an ugly win?

Re: That speaks pretty highly of UNC that they only lost by one


Nov 19, 2019, 8:07 PM

Probably because they’re 4-6?

Exactly my point. It's hard going


Nov 19, 2019, 7:57 PM [ in reply to Re: Ummm..... ]

undefeated no matter what conference your in. And despite the hype machine, Florida and Auburn are slightly above average, if that.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Exactly my point. It's hard going


Nov 19, 2019, 8:05 PM

What exactly is your definition of slightly above average? How many teams fall into that category or above?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Slightly above average is used so incorrectly here


Nov 19, 2019, 8:08 PM [ in reply to Exactly my point. It's hard going ]

Average means middle of the pack. There are 130 FBS teams so an average team would be in the 60-70 range. Slightly above average would maybe be 50ish at best.

#50 in FPI is BYU
#50 in SP+ is UNC at 4-6
#50 in Sagarin is Wake Forest

Those are slightly above average teams. Florida and Auburn are wayyyy above average.

They are both top 25 teams as far as talent. How many teams are in college football?

Re: Ummm.....


Nov 19, 2019, 8:04 PM [ in reply to Ummm..... ]

Well Miami is still alive in the Coastal race, and they have wins over UVA and Pitt who are probably 2 of the ACC’s top 4 teams this year. They also lost by 7 to VT who is the other top 4 ACC team.

Re: best if you just look at over inflated rankings


Nov 19, 2019, 7:47 PM [ in reply to Re: best if you just look at over inflated rankings ]

Florida struggled with Miami and they’ve lost 7 of the last 9 to FSU. Suddenly they are great because of a bowl win over Michigan.

There’s really nothing you can point to to show they should be ranked higher than the other teams with the same losses.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What do the previous 9 meetings with FSU mean?


Nov 19, 2019, 8:12 PM

Florida is way better than FSU right now and a game played in like 2011 means absolutely nothing. At all. Zilch. Zero. None.

Re: best if you just look at over inflated rankings


Nov 19, 2019, 7:26 PM [ in reply to best if you just look at over inflated rankings ]

I don’t get the hate for Auburn on here. They have a win over #5 Oregon, and their losses are 11 points on the road to #11 Florida, 3 points on the road to #1 LSU, and 7 points to #4 Georgia. I actually read a few people over the weekend say they aren’t even a top 25 team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: best if you just look at over inflated rankings


Nov 19, 2019, 8:06 PM

They're a top 25 team , but barely . Auburn shouldn't be ranked higher than #20 in my opinion . They can't move the football for entire halves .
Georgia couldn't beat SCar at home facing their 3rd string QB...and that is about as bad a loss as you could expect being a D1 school . That's almost as bad as say ...watching the runny , weaksauce team that you inexplicably lost to then go get manhandled by tiny Appalachian State in their own building a few weeks later .
And listen , I know about LSU's offense , they've been spectacular and I like that they're throwing it all over the field . They remind me of Alabama last year with Tua . Everyone just fawned and fell all over themselves at the time at how marvelous they looked finally on the offensive side . Then Clemson turned CBV loose on them and they couldn't crack an egg when it counted .
Florida ? They're a decent team . Super decent . They'll beat a decent B1G team in a decent bowl game at some time in late Decent-ber .

Re: best if you just look at over inflated rankings


Nov 19, 2019, 8:11 PM

So Auburn is barely a top 25 team because they’re offense isn’t very good? I’m not disputing that, but I’m not sure if there is a team other than Clemson and Ohio State that can make a claim of being goof on both sides of the ball.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think they are 15ish


Nov 19, 2019, 8:16 PM [ in reply to Re: best if you just look at over inflated rankings ]

They have an elite defense and they are fully capable of dragging teams into a rugby scrum and beating most of them. They aren't quite good enough to beat the top 10 teams (though they did manage to knock off Oregon), but they are good enough to beat pretty much anyone else.

Is it really that hard for people to fact check before sending out information like this? The SEC has played 10 OOC games against P5 teams which is tied with the Big 12 for the most.

All I have to say is uga was the highest ranked team last year and look what happened. They crapped the bed against obviously a not real good Texas team.

I’ve always said, wait til the season is over. Big bad sec foe was going to crush the acc in the belk bowl.

Re: It’s the same every week.


Nov 19, 2019, 8:25 PM

The SEC was clearly the best conference 2011-2013. 4 or 5 teams were capable of winning the NC. From 2014-16, only Bama was a Super Power. UGA joined them in 2017. In 2018 LSU and UF began trending up. I think the SEC gets extra hype because of ESPiN and other Sports media outlets; with the B10 getting the 2nd most hype.
