Quoted: Still gotta beat Bama which is the obstacle for natty contenders View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: The problem with LSU is the level of competition inherent to the West (and SEC as a whole). USC is a much better option, significantly easier conference to play in. Still gotta beat Bama which is the obstacle for natty contenders That’s true but the every weekend level of competition is better too. Look at the current rankings. 1 Pac12 team in top 25. 5 SEC teams. Easier path to playoffs for a good team in the Pac12. |

Quoted: Bama didn't really move up, Cinci moved down. Tulsa beat Cinci in nearly every statistic yesterday except the score. Bama looked bad, but at least they didn't look as bad as Cinci. That's the way I read that swap in ranking. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: There is a lot of WTF in that ranking. Bama moves up after struggling against a bad LSU? TTUN ranked ahead of TTUN State despite losing to them last week? Bama didn't really move up, Cinci moved down. Tulsa beat Cinci in nearly every statistic yesterday except the score. Bama looked bad, but at least they didn't look as bad as Cinci. That's the way I read that swap in ranking. Also everyone is focused on the winners performance. What about level of competition? What happens if Bama plays Tulsa? And LSU plays Cincinnati? Which is a guaranteed win and which one could go either way? |

Quoted: #2 Iowa #3 MSU Lost to #12 ND Faces Ohio State this weekend View Quote You mean #22 Iowa right #22 Iowa who was never a top five caliber team #22 Iowa who got a top 5 billing after beating an overrated (and unranked) Iowa St. I mean we going down that path and we calling Clemson a top 5 win for the teams that beat them? Nope, because Clemson face planted this year. There is a reason that when you look at a team's wins/losses this week it reflects the current rankings of those teams now, and not the rank when the game was played. Because we know more about a team's true rank today based on all their accumulated body of work. That's also the reason that today's rank will mean less than the end of the season in 4 weeks when we will see season end ranks only. ETA: Attached File |

I am pretty sure Iowa was ranked #2 when Purdue beat them regardless of where you think they should be ranked or are ranked now. That's the point being made.

Or what any of us think. The original statement was "I don't understand why Perdu isn't ranked. They are the only team with 2 top 5 wins.". I was pointing out what the ranking systems think. They think Perdu wasn't worth a ranking because one of the wins that looked good weeks ago turns out to be a worthless win over a junk team. Any of us can think that sucks. Any of us can take issue with the model and how it performs historical look backs. But this is the reason that the model doesn't see Perdu as having 2 top 5 wins. |

Quoted: The poll voters likely don't even notice purdue is missing View Quote Nah, ESPN has been pushing Purdue effectively enough in the narrative. They are getting air time and are in the conversation. They might be ranked in this week's playoff ranking. The top 5 win(s) comment aside there are other things in the model working against Purdue. Mainly recent losses are punished more than old losses. And consistency is rewarded more than inconsistency. Purdue has both recent losses and they are seesawing back and forth between loss and win which makes them inconsistent and unpredictable. |

Boiler Up!
Purdue probably doesn't deserve to be ranked, but yes, they have beat 2 top 5 teams. But the rankings feel like such a sham this year, idk. The pat on the back 25th ranking was nice after beating Iowa. Another win over Ohio State would be massive. Purdue isn't going to sneak up on them though. As of right now I think they are 20 point underdogs. Only a 3.5 underdog against MSU. I'm pretty excited Purdue gets to go a bowl game!! It doesn't happen too often, so I really try to savor it!! |

Quoted: I guess you could say the same about TAM then. They were totally overrated at the start of the year. Agreed? View Quote Yep. When you lose 4 out of 5 starters on your offensive line and your starting QB. You're damn right we are no longer a Top 5 team. We luckily got one of our O-line back, but we are still sitting on the youngest O-line in the SEC with the least amount of experience. The only reason we are now clicking is the talent that was recruited and the coaching getting them up to speed. Not sure where we will end up, but we are a shadow of our pre-season selves and are one hit away from playing a 3rd stringer walk on QB. So yes, I agree, we were over ranked at the start of the year. |
