afblue 128 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm surprised. I guest beating #20 aTm last week, even if it wasn't a work of art, got us some love from the Committee. Ever the optimist, I'll be cheering for AU to somehow take down the Dawgs this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,990 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It's pretty sad when you are behind SIX other SEC teams, and behind such football powerhouses as Central Florida, Fresno State, Iowa State and Boston College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird, it's like they make everyone play the games each season and THEN decide who is better based on results and appearance, rather than just ranking everyone because they have a history.

gr82be 14,421 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If Georgia wins they have another quality win by beating a top 25 team. Not saying that's why we're ranked but it could be a factor for them at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the reason some ACC teams are ranked is to justify Clemson’s weak schedule. Watch how many time teams have their highest rank of the season right before playing Bama. Meanwhile UCF is getting the shaft being stuck at 12. Ohio State has done absolutely nothing to deserve a top 10 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I was bored the other day and looked up what Phil Steele had Auburn projected pre season. It was 19th. If Auburn can get a W in Athens, a W against Liberty, not completely embarrass ourselves against Bama, and win the bowl game then Auburn should finish mid teens. Not what most were hoping for but pretty close to our preseason ranking by the “guru”. I’ll have to go back and see what he projected for previous years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, if I had time or inclination, I bet it would be an interesting project to go back and look at the preseason polls each year and see how long it takes for them to "shake out" - by that I mean, how long it takes for the poll to get as close as it gets to that year's final ranking. I mean, each year there are darlings that fall out/are overranked, but I wonder if those preseasons really have the staying power/influence that we think we do.

Potatooooooes!! 1,370 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yes...the Committee ranked us for the sole purpose of making Georgia look better....because the Committee actually cares enough about Georgia to help them out I honestly don’t know what to say to that kind of “logic” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Eagle 5,129 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Until the college football champion is crowned without the influence of human beings NOT involved in the actual coaching and playing...this is what we'll have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only teams I question on whether they should be in front of us are Syracuse, Iowa State, and Fresno. That’s the short way to answer your question.

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Fortunately UT has played a little better down the stretch and the farther we move past it the less weight it will carry. We are 27th in both major polls. At 6-3 with win against two ranked teams at the time we probably should be about there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their wins are against: East Tenn St, UTEP, Charlotte and AUBURN...their only road win is against AUBURN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
