Aggy and FSU went flying….

We beat Michigan and we will be #2.

 

[mchammer]

Also, everyone wants the UT-GA game to be #1 vs # 2.

 

[Phil Elliott]

I thought we might jump Oregon but dropping them from #3 to #7 after a win seems a bit much.

Agree sorta BUT did they even belong at 3? And that wasn't a very impressive win .

 

[LonghornCatholic]

lol Funny if you know the context

It’s very early in the season but I think it is safe to say that Miami will own the state of Florida this year. The 0-2 Seminoles could recover and make something of the year but the Gators are so screwed already.

We beat Michigan and we will be #2.

And since tOSU can’t beat UM any more they will have to drop, not UGA.

Preseason rankings are so hard to get right. There just isn’t enough information. I understand the need to start stacking everybody up but waiting until we’re 3-4 games into the season would help clarify what we have, and provide some entertaining drama as we wait on those initial rankings ... imo.

 

[Dionysus]

We beat Michigan and we will be #2.

Or ... why not #1?

UGA beat Clemson, but it’s so early we don’t know if that means much. Clemson was ranked #14 at the time. Did they belong there?

Anyway I agree that a win in Ann Arbor this Saturday puts us at #2. Georgia plays Tennessee Tech that day. Cowards.

Just win. ND seems too high to me but time will tell - for all of us.

 

[SabreHorn]

I don't really care where we are IF we beat Michigan, I just want to beat Michigan, and I ain't feeling good about it.

Duncanville, Desoto, and SOC are playing a tougher schedule than ND

Agree ... hard to drop them after a win but that was not an impressive showing at A&M. Their QB is not good but D might win them a few.

A 10-point win against an FCS team with one winning season since they relegated to FCS. Yeah, at that rate they should probably be closer to unranked.

Oregon really did outplay the Vandals on Saturday, but the scoreboard sure didn't indicate it until that last scoring drive. Reminds me a lot of some of those close wins against vastly inferior opponents in the Mack era.
Rice & ISU 1999
OK State 2002 when we needed the Rod Babers pick to seal it
KU 2004 with the 4th and 18 conversion
Iowa in the Alamo Bowl
Arkansas St. 2007

As long as we are celebrating after the championship game we could be 25 for all that I care.

Or ... why not #1?

Actually I would prefer to NOT be #1 before the UGA game. Would much prefer being underdog. Also don't want to give them any bulletin board material.

 

[nashhorn]

Heck I would prefer to be no higher than 4 until playoffs start.

No mention of aggy at #53! What kind of bogus poll is that!!!

Straight up blasphemy!!

Who wants the Florida job? If they’re expecting someone to salvage the 2024 season it ain’t happening.

...with 1 of the leading candidates for the Heisman Beauty Pageant

Very few people realize the history of college football or lack thereof in the State of Florida.

1) In its history the University of Florida never won the SEC Championship until Steve Spurrier returned as HC

2) FSU was Florida Normal College for Women, a school for wayward girls which Bobby Bowden converted to a school for delinquent boys

3) Convicts don't count except for setting number of violations that Barry & Jackie can't equal between them, not to mention that neither Jackie nor Barry specialized in putting people in their community in the hospital - see also Miami Art Festival security

I think Napier is a good guy and an above average coach, but while Florida is a Tier One academic institution, it does not have the long, nor storied history of football greatness, which in that recruiting rich area can only be explained by lack of alumni support and worse administration support.

That said, color Billy "gone". Elko is wishing he had waited a year.

Seems like Brady is a Michigan name....Hoke....Tom....

This might be a forgone decision.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Why would a kid from Huntington Beach, CA want to play in the weather conditions experienced by those three B1G schools?

 

[X Misn Tx]

While he is 40! ...and a mullet head...

He sure seems like a decent guy.
