AP poll is a bunch of crap

Feb 10, 2025, 9:13 PM

I'm sure that this has already been posted in some form, so we pretty much manhandled the Dookies on Saturday...they drop 1 spot in the poll as if they lost to Auburn or somebody similar, BUT we barely get a bump into the Top 25??? Is Coach K in charge of the vote counting now!? Probably won't get any bonus points for kickin' the Smurfs blue arses either because "they're having a down year".

Auburn doesn't have a loss to usc or GT. Makes a difference.

But we did beat anybody ranked Kentucky team and the #2 team in the nation so I agree with the original poster a bunch of crap because back in December when we lost they dropped us 9 places in the poll. We lost to a pretty good Memphis team at that time in overtime.

True, but they are something like 14 now. They aren't great. We also lost to teams like Boise State. Then of course the ACC has a bad wrap now. We are underrated, but we have hurt ourselves too.

Losing a game when you’ve only played 10 games is more impactful than losing a game when you’ve played 25. Body of work. Sample size.

I’m not mad Duke didn’t drop. I think they are one of the best 2-3 teams in the country and that makes our win even more impressive.

Losing 1 game doesn’t mean a team’s ranking is wrong.

He is referring to Clemson not getting any respect of body of work compared to other teams after a loss. He is not saying Clemson is as good as Auburn.
