on my phone and dont know how to copy/paste but some interesting slots above us. Someone mind fetching it?
The full AP top 25: 1. Florida State (57) -- 1,496 points 2. Alabama (1) -- 1,361 3. Oregon (1) -- 1,334 4. Oklahoma (1) -- 1,324 5. Ohio State -- 1,207 6. Auburn -- 1,198 7. UCLA -- 1,106 8. Michigan State -- 1,080 9. South Carolina -- 1,015 10. Baylor -- 996 11. Stanford -- 885 12. Georgia -- 843 13. LSU -- 776 14. Wisconsin -- 637 15. USC -- 626 16. Clemson -- 536 17. Notre Dame -- 445 18. Ole Miss -- 424 19. Arizona State -- 357 20. Kansas State -- 242 21. Texas A&M -- 238 22. Nebraska -- 226 23. North Carolina -- 194 24. Missouri -- 134 25. Washington -- 130
Notre Dame could suspend all their players along with the whole coaching staff for the entire season and still make the preseason Top 25, what a joke!
alabama could have no QB and an incompetent nitwit for an OC and still make the preseason Top 2. What a joke!
8 SEC teams. 8 Auburn has a BRUTAL schedule. 7 pre season top 25 teams on their schedule with 4 of them on the road. 2 of those 7 teams should fall out but still, they have the unranked cowbells on the road which, should be a tough game for them. The barn will need more than a few miracles to finish top 3 in the west.
Auburn will be a better team than they were last year but will be hard pressed to finish with as good a record due to their schedule. Kansas State on the road. South Carolina and LSU at home. On the road vs Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Georgia and Alabama. And no way the luck falls their way like last year. They could have just as easily been 7-5 as 11-1. A last minute tipped pass vs Moo U, a sack of Johnny Football in their own red zone with under a minute to play and then the miracles vs Georgia and Alabama. The Football Gods don't hand out those kinds of miracles every year.
At least we don't have to worry a much about starting low in the polls with the playoff. Glad we are starting off in both polls in that slot. I was surprised OSU wasn't ranked higher.
Yeah I don't really take issue with where they have us ranked. But geez, the top 3 is just so fucking lazy. I mean, Oregon?! How many times do they have to prove that they're a fraud before the pollsters wake-up?
53 - 7 during the last 5 regular seasons and 3 - 2 in big time bowl games against quality opponents and they're a fraud?
