Nah FSU lost a lot of talent from their 2013 squad. The way OSU looks on offense is baffling. Only 3 starters lost and our offense looks like they've never even played together before. Only logical explanation is that we REALLY miss Tom Herman. Seriously, how can you fuck up THIS offense?

Because Urban isnt running a read option anymore like Herman did. The read option was bread and butter last year, we dont run it at all.
Hopefully Utah continues its winning ways. It's nice to see an outsider so close to the top. (but then you have TCU so never mind, lol)
Florida ahead of FSU? How things have changed quickly.

Someone check on the dumb ass coach from Arkansas. He might need CPR. Or a lobotomy.

Apparently a backup QB at Louisiana-Monroe, Daniel Fitzwater, suddenly died yesterday early morning. No other real details or cause.

Utah maybe, but Clemson moving that far up because of beating ND is dumb. Maybe if ND still had all its starters.

Lol st OSU still #1. It could not be any more clear this team is not the best team in the nation.
Can you blame us? It's one thing to lose games because the other team just has better talent and depth. But this whole "we have a pretty talented team that has been up by 13+ leadin in every game but are 2-3 because our coach doesn't understand basic principles of in game management" is too much.

How else should have played out? Bama was 13 and won convincingly against a top 10 opponent. Ole Miss was 3 and lost to 25.
I think it would look worse for Ole Miss to only fall to like #8 after their loss and Bama to be #9 just to keep Ole Miss higher. Especially since that would be a smaller drop than Bama fell after their loss despite Ole Miss' loss being worse in every possible regard.

People seem to forget tOSU won so many games last season against bad opponents by a close margin, and they ended up winning it all. Wasn't until the Big 10 championship game where they started rolling.
That's true, but we don't forget FSU winning so many games against bad opponents by a close margin and looking ridiculous in the playoffs. Which one is OSU this year? Dunno yet.
What it's must be like to have an easy schedule.

God damn it. People overreacted to Ole Miss beating bama and now they're overreacting to UF beating Ole Miss. Yes, when you dominate a quality team like that it probably suggests it wasn't just a flash in the pan, but we still have a lot to prove. Why are some fans so quick to go into delusion mode? Frankly, Florida's new ranking is fucking meaningless, because we're not in that top position where losing can knock us out of the playoff or something. All we need to do is win out and that'll be a tall order. Let's see how we look against Mizzou. At this point it looks like it's a team we should beat easily, but Ole Miss probably thought that coming to the Swamp.
I completely agree with you but I guess thats what happens when fans haven't seen Florida beat a top 5 opponent in years.
Then again if we keep playing like this we might have an outside chance of earning a trip to the SEC championship.

I hope ASU moves backs into the ranks. Played UCLA like that and we still don't get that much recognition. I hope Utah falls to us.....that's my dream!
Anyway, Georgia Bulldogs.....why??? 18 is too high; they should be unranked after the shit they pulled yesterday. Probably the most disappointing Georgia game I've encountered as a fan for 8 years.

The Oregon-FSU game didn't go clown fiesta until the second half.It wasn't like the traditional blowout where you blast your opponent off the blocks for sixty minutes by any means.
If Travis Wilson continues to play like he is playing it will be very hard to beat the Utes. It's possible because so many of the PAC-12 teams are good, but with him playing lights out the team is a very complete package.
Going to take a win over Utah to erase the memories of the complete domination USC had over us. And of course if we win that, our reward is to play Oregon.
Was it any clearer last season?
Everything seemingly shakes out near the end of the season. Once again, these weekly polls are gonna drive everyone nuts....every single week.

Yeah, I'm hoping that these two games over the next three weeks we win, if at least games in which we can use as measuring sticks to determine how good we can be this year. I've been wanting to beat Oregon since.....fuck I can't remember when.
WEEK SIX PICK 'EMS
NOTICE! DO NOT POST PICKS IN THIS THREAD! ONLY POST PICKS IN THE WEEK SIX THREAD!
Remember, I'm representing the spread next to the team favored to win by the number of points in parentheses next to them. You decide if that team will win by more than that amount of points (i.e., they'll "cover" the spread) or whether you think they will either win by fewer than that amount of points or just outright lose (either of these would be a "no cover" scenario). If you have questions, ask!

ahahaha we somehow opened up as favored against UCONN. What the hell is Vegas smoking?

Offensively, maybe,
The 2009 UF defense ended #4 in total defense in the country and it was from a consistent performance all season. This OSU defense is soft.
Vegas was civilly conflicted on the spread.

Georgia, you've broken my heart. I get up at 7 in the morning, stand outside in the rain all day, and then you subject me to that shit show of a game. I still love my dawgs but damn if I'm not disappointed. A shitty game in Athens rounding out a shitty rainy week in Athens.

Nope, can't think of anything you'd be interested in.
Hey at least our future QB had a great game in the pouring rain on Friday!
Jeremy Pruitt summed up the loss pretty well, I thought. Got out executed. I think 5 true freshmen played the other day so it's a young, talented team, but they were outplayed. Didn't help that our QB play was abysmal. Lambert seemingly had Paula Deen lube up his hands with butter before the game, and Ramsey is a pick machine. I really hope that Eason is ready to go next year, which is going to be a tall order.. Being a super talented QB going up against a bunch of kids in HS that will never play big time football in college is going to be an adjustment.

Also, not concerned about the "rankings", just find it funny because no ones ever posted a "Top 11", we all know why they did, they have an invested interest in SEC team doing well.
Gotta pay those SEC Networks bills somehow. Florida is ranked too high anyway, we'll see if we're legit in the next four weeks with @Mizz, @LSU, then UGA.
