Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) With this reasoning...Barner should be ranked ahead of UF since they both have 2 losses and Barner beat UF at their crib. Im actually surprised they didnt fall more with 2 losses. Look how much higher they are than others with 2 losses.
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) No doubt. USF struggled against Florida Atlantic this week. Granted, they have beaten both Auburn and West Virginia this year, but I still can't believe they are one of the 5 best teams in college football.
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) Not that it matters, but it would be interesting to hear their justification for voting Ohio State over LSU...the Buckeyes haven't played anybody: Games Played/Current Ranking - OSU Youngstown State - unranked Akron - unranked Washington - unranked Northwestern - unranked Minnesota - unranked Purdue - unranked We've beaten the current #7, #12, and #13. Next week we play #17 on the road. The Buckeyes? Kent State!
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) There are no style points anymore. We seem to forget the struggles with Tulane. Bottom line is the win.
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) No...and they were undefeated. Not that I think OSU should be ranked ahead, far from so. No doubt OSU will lose at least one game this season. Just...get your facts straight.
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) Absolutely no respect for unbeaten Kansas in the poll; granted, a few cupcakes, but that KSU game was a quality win. How about Cincinnati? Last year wasn't a fluke, indeed.
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) Thanks for the "State of Reality for Ohio State" post. I was not aware of how weak their schedule has been. I don't think they want to play an SEC team again. If Ohio State loses 2 games, would they dare except a Bowl rematch with Florida?
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) Cincinnati is quite impressive. Kansas, though a surprise, will probably end #2 in the Big XII North next to Missouri...who is amazing.....and assuming Mizzou doesn't crap out in its last 3 or so games.
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) The whole point of the post was to show strength of schedule based on CURRENT RANKINGS. I'll try drawing a picture next time
Re: AP Poll (Oct 7) Eh, even if you do that, despite the fact that everyone uses rankings at time of play, Purdue is still ranked in the Coaches poll.
