College football Week 9 thread

Fine. I told you, I have no problem ranking Purdue and Wisconsin (and I'm willing to do that even though neither of them has beaten a team with fewer than four losses). That's two of the four three-loss teams in the poll. Who would your other two be?

 

Virginia. I do, however, believe Auburn deserves to be ranked. Fine, ONE three-loss team deserves it, strictly based on its quality wins.

 

I don't even remember who I ranked anymore. I know I voted LSU No. 1. That's about it.

 

So Virginia, which just lost to 2-5 N.C. State, was held to three points by a middle-of-the-pack Mountain West team, needed to stop a last-minute two-point conversion to beat 2-6 North Carolina, beat 4-4 Maryland by one, beat Duke by 11 and beat Middle Tennessee State by two, deserves to be ranked over Florida? OK.

 

I'm glad you agree. I'm done with this, by the way. Have fun.

 

Eff you, Doc! And have a Happy IAgreeWithDeskSlaveThatYourVirginiaRatingisWrong Day!

 

Virginia gets no love from me. One program I just don't like, though I liked their QB last year or the year before, No. 18, IIRC.

 

I've seen Virginia twice this year. I think they've just managed to get plenty lucky on several of their games. They've played good teams, they've just gotten by with two- or three-point spreads in too many games, many of which resulted in opponents' mistakes early on. Sewell is just too inconsistent.

 

Those who say Georgia's No. 10 ranking is wrong are correct.

Yuck.

I know it's been a crazy year in the SEC. But yuck. The Dogs were hammered at the No. 24 team in the country (which, by the way, is ranked one spot below a team with the same number of losses that it beat Saturday).

I also don't understand how Florida and Auburn have the exact same record, and Auburn won at Florida at night, and the Gators are ranked one spot higher.

I also don't understand why Ohio State is ranked over BC, which is also undefeated and has a more impressive win than Ohio State does ... but all I really know is that I'm really glad I don't have an AP vote this season.

 

Completely agree. Just gonna make it a bigger upset when they lose to Auburn in two weeks. Or Troy next week.

I just don't understand the logic that says "a three-loss team must be lower than a two-loss team." If you want to be that steadfast about it, then just get rid of the polls altogether. What are we supposed to do? Group all the unbeatens and rank them, then take all the one-loss teams and rank them, then take all the two-loss teams and rank them?

 

Delaware beat Navy in a shootout. Omar Cuff scored four touchdowns.

 

Only thing is, that Cal loss continues to look worse and worse each week.
