SEC
Tracking the AP poll movement: Week 4
Each week we will show SEC fans around the country how the SEC teams have moved up and down in the AP poll.
Notable moves:
- Ole Miss catapulted to tied for the No. 3 slot after the Rebels won on the road in Tuscaloosa knocking off the Crimson Tide. Alabama fell outside the top ten for the first time since 2010.
- Auburn dropped out of the top 25 after its loss to LSU.
- LSU joined Georgia and Ole Miss in the top ten after beating Auburn.
Good to see.
You don’t jump 12 spots because you beat #2 by 6 points. Sorry just my opinion! Great win but too far of a jump and just to show you why it….Ole Miss jumped more spots forward than Bama fell backwards for losing!
And why in the world does Notre Dame jump Georgia? Let me help the pollsters;
1) TCU
2) Michigan State
3) Baylor
4) Georgia
5) Ole Miss
6) LSU
7) Notre Dame
8) Ohio St
9) Florida St
10) Texas A&M
What’s with the Ohio St infatuation these voters have??? Weakest schedule out of anyone in the top 25 and they are barely beating these crappy unranked High school teams! TCU lost some spots early because of Minnesota almost pulling an upset, Notre Dame lost some spots early for close calls against unranked teams, but Ohio just sits there as #1 with a 7 point win on their field with one offensive TD and 5 turnovers against an unranked cupcake…..?!?
Why should they have poll inertia?
Should scrap the previous week poll each week and build your top 25 from that.
Probably think USC should be ranked ahead of Stanford… right?
Exactly! 12 spots is way to many to fall back for losing by 6 points. N.D. over the Dawgs? Come on. Don’t worry. Ohio State will run their cupcake schedule and win out, but oh man I hope they meet up in NCG with one of our strong SEC teams. Look out!
No SEC team will get the benefit of the doubt vs ND.
Why not, they won on the road and looked good doing it.
Florida State is trash this year. 14-0 to Boston College.
Ohio State is the number one team till they prove us otherwise.
Ole Miss should be ahead of Georgia.
You know full well that ND will go to the top given half a chance. The bias for them is still there and the media would love to have them #1. Let’s hope our DAWGS get a chance to influence their position in the final polls.
I laugh every time I see some fan complain about how their team should be ranked higher than some other team in the polls. Like guys come on its week 3. Just win your games and you’ll get there, it’s not that hard to figure out. What were the week 3 rankings last year? Did they matter picking the CFB playoff contenders no. Just win that’s all that matters. You’re get the ranking you deserve soon enough.
You’ll*
Ole Miss put Bama away twice yet Bama was still in it to the end. Ole Miss is a good team but 1 less turnover or if you take away the freak TD pass by Kelly and this is a different outcome. Ole Miss’s Defense is nasty. Nkimdiche is probably the most disruptive player int he country but Ole Miss will need to put together a running game to win it all. 2.7 YPC won’t do it. Jumping to # 3 is a big stretch but all teams have to do is keep winning. Suddenly, LSU/Ole Miss is looking to be the biggest game of the year.
