PrintI moved us down considerably. I have seen this coming and hope the reality is now more clearly seen by the team. The phone-in games will no longer cut it. Tevin was the key to our wins by huge margins early and now he is one of the reasons we are floundering. It doesn't help that he has opposing linemen in his face on almost every play, but he was not sharp. My top teams are holding steady. In the ACC, I moved VPI up a bunch. Beamer fixed whatever happened against Clemson. And, Manuel returning to form has put FSU back in my list.

Don't understand the love for Stanford
As they haven’t played really anyone. I think they are a good squad, and would beat most in in the 12-25 range, but they have no SOS. And with Oregon on the rise, I don’t think they should be where they are, and I can almost guarantee they will not stay that highly ranked.

As an offensive-minded blog
we have to pay respect where it’s due. Wisconsin and Stanford will have more respect here than SEC blogs that love crappy QB’s leading NFL defenses (LSU/Bama).

I've always been at a loss how it is that teams have good players everywhere except QB
Alabama ’09 — Absurd defense, Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson, Julio Jones, NFL-caliber O-Line….Greg McElroy?
The Church of Paul Johnson - There's not much to it outside of whooping ass and giving haters the finger. To HELL With georgie!
Wisconsin
Is good…but have a TERRIBLE sos…it’s recently up to 66 (from ~100 – due to some other big 10 teams playing an equally weak schedule). I think we’ll get where Wisconsin is once they play MI State & Penn State.
Clemson’s lack of a run D will catch up with them eventually…if not during the regular season, definitely in the post-season.
You some kind of SEC homer?
Florida lost and moved up 3, remaining ahead of the team that beat them (which has one less loss)? USC loses Lattimore and moves up 1? UGA barely survives the Nashville Commies and you rank ’em?
Ha-ha
Georgia is beating who they are supposed to beat and the loss to South Carolina is looking better and better. I agree with you about Florida however. I have argued that they have been over ranked all season but nobody listens to me.

Florida can't possibly be overrated before the WLOCP.
For one day in October, Florida is unstoppable.

Jinxes are real
Just ask Tech fans about Georgia.

Here's my take
I believe Florida is a better team than their 2nd- and 3rd-string QB play has shown. Also, I highly doubt any other SEC team could handle the recent stretch of games they have had to play. LSU and Bama back-to-back is A Nightmare on Elm Street’s nightmare. I’ve dropped them each week that they’ve lost in my rankings, but I didn’t brutally punish them. I think they are better than what they showed against Auburn and I’m willing to give them another week to prove it.
That being said, this time of the year is when we start getting into the I-beat-you, you-beat-him, he-beat-me, type stuff and I’m probably going to trash my rankings and do them from scratch next week.
