Projecting the top 25: Georgia cracks the top 10?
What an awesome weekend of college football. It’s painfully obvious how much better college football is than the NFL.
How high will Georgia rise Sunday? The Bulldogs throttled the Mississippi State Bulldogs 31-3. It’s clear the Bulldogs are the second-best SEC team in 2017.
As of now, we are projecting six SEC teams in the top 25:
1. Alabama defeated Vanderbilt
2. Clemson defeated Boston College
3. Oklahoma defeated Baylor
4. Penn State defeated Iowa
5. USC defeated California
6. Washington (late in game)
7. Michigan defeated Purdue
8. Wisconsin had bye week
9. Georgia defeated Mississippi State
10. Ohio State defeated UNLV
11. Virginia Tech defeated Old Dominion
12. TCU defeated Oklahoma State
13. Oklahoma State lost to TCU
14. Miami defeated Toledo
15. Auburn defeated Mizzou
16. Washington State defeated Nevada
17. Louisville defeated Kent State
18. Florida defeated Kentucky
19. USF defeated Temple
20. San Diego State (late in game)
21. FSU lost to NC State
22. Utah defeated Arizona
23. Oregon (late in game)
24. LSU defeated Syracuse
25. Mississippi State lost to Georgia
Even though MSU just got throttled, they shouldn’t fall below LSU. LSU struggled against Syracuse, so they’re lucky to be ranked at all.
Most of the SEC looks like crap this year. LSU doesn’t deserve to be ranked. It looks more and more like the SEC will be a tune-up for Bama’s playoff hopes. I can remember when the SEC gauntlet was tougher than the post-season.
Truer words have never been spoken. Smh.
I just want to say congrats to Georgia. I expected the game would be tough to win on the road but damn, you guys took what was expected to be a close game and dropped MSU on it’s head. It’s obvious that that MSU has some work they need to fix on both sides of the ball but congrats on your win. I hope the team use this loss as a lesson to not get overconfident just because of one win and get ready for Auburn. It’s obvious they weren’t ready to play this game and I knew if we got behind by more than 7 on the road against a good team like Georgia, in a tough place to play, the game would be impossible to win. I wish they would find an running back that can actually be a home run threat like the other RBs in the SEC. I mean, Fitzgerald is good at running the ball but we need more effort in the running game and he focus more on getting better at passing because although he improved since last season, he still needs to get better. What made the 2014 team special was the fact that MSU had not only a good QB in Dak that could run and pass the ball but we had a running back that took some of the load off Dak in Josh Robinson. MSU hasn’t been consistent in the RB running game since JR left after 2014. Sure, the current RBs would have a breakout game or two but most of the time it’s against weaker competition. The RBs needs to step it up and take some of the load off Fitzgerald because Georgia tortured him tonight. If they don’t, then this won’t be our only lost, especially when when we host the Tide in November, which probably would be a loss anyway. We got in way too many 3rd downs and forcing Fitzgerald to pass the ball.
Also, I think everyone who struggled against an inferior team should drop a few spaces but that’s just my opinion.
A couple of observations:
1.The BIG 10 is overrated as always
2.Florida has a Horse shoe around their neck
3.The only teams ahead of Georgia that I feel could actually beat Georgia are Clemson and Bama
4.Why is FSU still ranked
This dude put lsu above msu
I don’t think either will finish the season ranked…
MSU should go 9-3 regular season. The future losses coming to Auburn and Bama.
Making fun of someone’s rankings after a week of “MSU by 17″… Take a little time off man.
