They beat LSU and Auburn both top 10 teams so how can LSU be 20th? They were 25th entering the year. For starters Miami shouldn't have been top 10 And for me to rank a team in top 10 i need to have a realistic expectation they could potentially contend for a national title and I don't trust LSU to win the games they need to in order to even get in playoffs much less win a championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to play bama tamu Georgia and miss state still. They win all those games they could go to #1 in the country. Their schedule is a lot better than clemson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they lose all of those games by a score or less, they would still have an argument to be in the Top 20 or better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose to bama and Georgia they should still be top 20 I agree If they lose all 4 idk if they stay top 20. Maybe top 25.

The fact they all play each other will most likely keep one of them out of the rankings though while a few teams with weaker schedules will find themselves ranked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama and Georgia can throw the ball. LSU beat Miami because Miami couldn't spread them down the field because the qb is terrible throwing the ball down field. With Auburn they just played amazing. I think Georgia and bama just have too many weapons and will get the better of LSU. LSU beat miss state and tamu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's time to give troy some respect. Nothing has me convinced from years past as they mean nothing. I am watching them this year and the playcalling has been very good. Joe burrow is making perfect throws. They dont lean on just 1 RB. They have multiple RBS to wear you down.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees something off about that, a SEC powerhouse losing to a sun belt team, granted Troy is a very damn good sun belt team but regardless LSU shouldn't lose at home like that The point wasn't to discredit Troy but what I'm saying is they did beat auburn last year only to struggle down the stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrecoRoman Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Great to see that LSU is back. They're such a good addition to the mix as they are one of those teams who typically gets the huge majority of players in State and Louisiana is absolutely loaded so it's a crime when LSU has issues. The biggest joke now is the FL teams. Years of poor coaching combined with programs around the nation plucking away a huge portion of the talent - same thing happening to the TX schools. If you made up a team filled with players from FL & TX who go to out of State schools that team would be the best in the nation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Jim Tressel after Ohio State upset Miami and asked what he thought the most impt part of the gameplan was and he said "Chris Gamble and Michael Jenkins - 2 FL guys" lol. The next Ohio State game I was at years later I remember the leading tackler for the season was Ryan Shazier and offensive feature player was Carlos Hyde, Of course there tons of examples like this I just bring this up because I thought it was funny how Tressel acknowledged it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there is who’s who list of players from both states doing big things across the country. with the right leadership the Florida schools can turn things around pretty quick i think Jimbo was great hire by Texas A&M I could see them contending in few years. UT has long way to go. They need to develop and recruit better in the trenches TCU is always respectable. Very good coach they just need few more players TT - until they decide to put some focus on defense they will stay middle of the pack. USC and UCLA are not so good either.

I'm with you A&M - what a great team to follow b/c of the military etc. True on USC and UCLA but while Cali is great they don't have or bleed the talent like FL and TX. Last year I watched Ok - Ok St and the huge percentage of guys were from TX. And people wonder why TX is down - LOL F U to those people. TX is never down - they simply supply the damn Big 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a time when Miami, UF & FSU were all in the top 10 with easily over 80% of starters being from FL (not the QB and kicker I bet lol) Same goes for TX - but of course they could also get a QB and kicker in state and the QB would most likely be a future pro bowler ! These are the only 2 states who could do this - period (Cali close as well - I would they say he could have 2 top teams) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
