LSU gives Bama the game of the year and drops to 7th. Norte dame has to take an unrated Pitt team to 3ot's and wins by a field goal and stays in top 5. That's bullshit
We keep score for a reason. You lose, you drop. Doesn't mean the other team is necessarily better. In all sports the better teams often lose to circumstance. But that's why we play them out. Even ND and their 1940 program lucks into this mess every quarter century or so. They will get rolled wherever they end up I would think.
Interesting how the human polls love them some FSU (6 in both) while the computers not so much. That is the reason I fear the thought of human polls only. They go for the names. If possible most sports writers would have ND, FSU, AL, USCw, tOSU and a few others alternate NCs and #1 poll selections.
Agree. Funny things can still happen w/other teams, and if our O continues to open up, develops some confidence and consistency, who knows?
I guessed eight based on the AP poll. I'll take 7th all day, we might even back in the top five if we win out and get a little help
