What the fuck they kept ole miss in the top 10

[u/Radiant_Sherbert7272 → u/Operation_Pig]

Yeah that one is a bit of a head scratcher. They looked really bad yesterday.

[u/ilacwamh → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

They have a big win over LSU, which has to count for something. There’s a team in the top 5 that isn’t undefeated and hasn’t beaten any team with a winning record

[u/KeThrowaweigh → u/ilacwamh]

If losing by 1 point against the new #1 drops you 5 spots, losing by 24 against the new #8 should probably drop you more than one spot.

[u/Midweek_Sunrise → u/KeThrowaweigh]

It did...it dropped us 5 spots. It doesn't hurt our case that LSU smacked the brakes off A&M. Made our win over them look better even with the loss at Florida

[u/KeThrowaweigh → u/Midweek_Sunrise]

Oh yeah

[u/Cador0223 → u/Midweek_Sunrise]

If Louisville had pulled it out on wake forest, we might he 8 and Florida 7

[u/enataca → u/KeThrowaweigh]

But LSU beat a team that lost to a now ranked team! They are clearly elite so the Ole Miss win against LSU still counts a ton.

[u/sean-thebean → u/KeThrowaweigh]

“Drops”….Why should Ohio states preseason ranking matter at all after a down of football has been played?

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/ilacwamh]

How good is LSU though? Don’t really have a great win themselves. I mean I think they’re a top 20 type team but Clemson is ass and so is A&M. Ole miss got humbled and nearly lost to Louisville who lost to Wake. Just not much separation between any of those teams really

[u/discipleofbill → u/SecondBreakfast814]

We’ll see how A&M and Clemson fare the rest of the year but they didn’t just beat those teams, they thoroughly dominated them. That has to count for something. Their schedule is hard enough we’ll learn more about them soon enough.

[u/garygoblins → u/discipleofbill]

They both looks like pretty mediocre\bad teams

[u/discipleofbill → u/garygoblins]

Maybe but then LSU did exactly what a team tanked where they are should do.

[u/OneVast3433 → u/SecondBreakfast814]

Who has Ohio State beaten that are better wins than LSU's wins over Clemson and TAMU?

[u/Mmathaiss → u/OneVast3433]

We have a quality loss to an SEC team. Clearly more valuable than a win....

[u/OneVast3433 → u/Mmathaiss]

Lmao

[u/ma2016 → u/SecondBreakfast814]

This is what happens when you try to rank a system that is mostly based on chaos

[u/DwyaneWade305 → u/SecondBreakfast814]

One thing you can’t take away from LSU is they for sure have a top 5 defense in the country. I know you can say Clemson and A&M are ass but both of those teams have elite talent and the offenses literally looked helpless against LSU. Even a high powered Ole Miss team started struggling in the 2nd half.

[u/Few-Improvement9978 → u/DwyaneWade305]

First half was pure coaching error. Not player error.

I think LSU is stronger than what people realize who really did a deep dive into what happened at the ole Miss game.

I will say - I lost a lot of faith in my DC after seeing his stupidity in the first half

[u/Taz119 → u/Few-Improvement9978]

I was losing my mind at those dumbass 3 man rushes. Literally just letting Chambliss sit in the pocket all day and pick apart the secondary

[u/FSUfan35 → u/DwyaneWade305]

I know you can say Clemson and A&M are ass but both of those teams have elite talent and the offenses literally looked helpless

Their offenses have looked helpless against Georgia Southern, UNC, Cal, and Kentucky.

[u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe → u/SecondBreakfast814]

That same statement applies to you guys, and the difference is LSU just got a ranked win last night. While y'all refballed your way to squeaking past NW at home 😂

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe]

I see 38-3 still stings. You alright bro?

[u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe → u/SecondBreakfast814]

Listen I'm really happy you guys finally have something you can throw back at people when you have no counter argument. It's a rite of passage. Statement is still true though.

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe]

Didn’t bring us up at all and wasn’t talking about us and you interject with that. Always insecure Alabama fans lol “refballed” please point to how we won on that. I’m waiting

[u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe → u/SecondBreakfast814]

The blatant mishandling of the review of the long run leading to Indiana's final score, giving y'all a free 6 yards, coupled with a very questionable drive extending penalty on top of that. And even still NW held y'all out of the endzone for like 4-5 plays. The reason folks dislike Indiana is not because y'all beat their schools, it's because of people like you 😂.

[u/bd1047 → u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe]

The extra 6 yards was a big fuck up, but you could argue it helped NW as it gave us less time to burn clock. The drive extending penalty was clear and obvious. Not sure what you were watching

Also it absolutely makes sense you’d be salty about a school that beat your flairs 101-13 last year haha

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe]

Yes a free 6 yards won us the game. You’re so right. Any other absolutely EGREGIOUS paid off refball plays I missed? Obviously those refs were betting on the game to give us 5 whole yards! Glad this can be put to bed.

[u/freerobertshmurder → u/SecondBreakfast814]

Y'all are such novices at this lmao

Alabama has 18 rings I don't think they're still bitter about one bad loss last year

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/freerobertshmurder]

You don’t follow IU much then cuz they’re in our mentions quite a bit on here and on Twitter lol. And saying we refballed our way to a win is hilarious and says that guy didn’t watch our game. Comes off as salty

[u/LongDickCallahan → u/SecondBreakfast814]

I had actually almost forgotten about yall lol

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/LongDickCallahan]

Yeah clearly lol

[u/LongDickCallahan → u/SecondBreakfast814]

c:

[u/AsukaState2 → u/SecondBreakfast814]

Act like you’ve been here before…oh wait you haven’t 🤣🤣🤣

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/AsukaState2]

Sir we won it last year and I’m a fan I don’t have to act like I’ve been anywhere before 😂

[u/Johnny_Kilroy_84 → u/SecondBreakfast814]

You can make that same argument for ole miss. By your own admissions, they don’t have a definitively good win and they just got run off the field by florida.

[u/katarh → u/ilacwamh]

Don't worry, the gauntlet is coming for Georgia in the next month.

[u/Squeakygear → u/ilacwamh]

But they only dropped one space in the poll after that shellacking? Make it make sense lol

[u/Due_Rope_6061 → u/ilacwamh]

One of these centuries, the AP is going to stop overrating LSU every year. Then again I've also been saying they will eventually stop overrating A&M every offseason but that doesn't seem to be happening either.

[u/ScrofessorLongHair → u/ilacwamh]

I think we should be ranked either 5 or 6, above Ohio State. And not just because they're assholes.

[u/AsukaState2 → u/ilacwamh]

LSU is shit though 

[u/bdm13 → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

That defense is paper mache. Louisville was also scoring at will on Ole Miss. It might be possible that both Ole Miss and LSU are both pretty good, but not great. But with these rankings, you’d never know it.

[u/SecondBreakfast814 → u/bdm13]

Correct take here. Probably top 15-20 teams in reality

[u/ThatStrangeGuyOverMe → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

They have a better resume with 1 loss than y'all do. So I think it makes sense if y'all can be rated #5 with 1 loss.

[u/Big_Lawfulness_8143 → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Didnt they outgain Florida on a per play basis

How bad could they have looked

[u/Zharick_ → u/Big_Lawfulness_8143]

Is that taking off the garbage time short runs to kill the clock?

[u/Big_Lawfulness_8143 → u/Zharick_]

Idk it was 7 ypp to 6.6 for Florida 

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/Big_Lawfulness_8143]

But they couldn’t score, and still had to punt a lot after big chunk plays

[u/Big_Lawfulness_8143 → u/Mike_with_Wings]

OK? You cant look that terrible and put up 7 ypp against your opponent 

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/Big_Lawfulness_8143]

I didn’t say anything to the contrary, just explaining how they scored fewer points. Wasn’t trying to argue

[u/CraigslistBulbasaur → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

They looked bad but it was still on the road against another top 10 team with one of their best players out hurt.

[u/tripsd → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

or...did we look really good? Wanna meet up in glendale?

[u/magnumapplepi → u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

Agreed. We should be unranked

[u/obiwans_lightsaber → u/magnumapplepi]

Definitely not unranked, but 13-14 makes more sense to me
