Nah, but there will be a 7-5 SEC that gets in over a 10-2 non-SEC team because the SEC just means more!

It was NTers at an open gym run in California. Henzo was a bucket.

“Sure they lost to #17 ranked 3-9 Auburn and #15 ranked 4-8 ole miss, but those are good quality SEC losses!”

I’d petition for rankings to not even come out until Week 5 in this new CFB world. Typically only works to prop up the same blue bloods/SEC before we even know who’s good or not.

Is this how a 5-win Florida team gets back to the glory days?

To be honest, I don’t think we need rankings at all. The committee had FSU in the top for three weeks after Jordan Travis got hurt, just to bump them to five in the last ranking.
They’re going to change their mind, or contradict themselves at the end, so the lead up doesn’t even matter.

We need somebody to write a book on the history of NT. I feel like there was a gold mine of stuff before I discovered this website back in 2013.

The 2008-10 NT rap scene was epic. There's some legit stars that made it out of that.We need somebody to write a book on the history of NT. I feel like there was a gold mine of stuff before I discovered this website back in 2013.
Never forget when the NT A&Rs gave my south by southwest showcase slot away to Pill

the rankings are a business. AP writers rely on them for engagement and content during the season.
They're not gonna do anything that makes the media's job harder and can cause them to turn their attention to other sports. (See our Lincoln convo from the season.)
It is funny how the college football media complains about how dumb and meaningless the rankings are til the last few, but then they each do a monday reranking show, a tuesday night live reaction rankings show, and have done 4 episodes each this week about FSU being left out when they were previously ranked

If pointing at legitimate flaws in the system is just complaining about the SEC then I guess. You just tried to justify a 7-5 team SEC team getting in over a 10-2 non-SEC team in the hypothetical, when you said there wouldn’t be any issues starting next year

Pretty much this. Now we’re talking about a “ #17 ranked 3-9 Auburn and #15 ranked 4-8 ole miss”

Yall came up with a hypothetical situation that wouldn't happen and I just entertained it.
Yall issue is with the perceived SEC bias...
I personally don't care because it will always play out. Especially now with 12 teams.

How many examples of 7-5 SEC teams being ranked over 10-2 non-SEC teams (excluding lower-level FBS conference teams) can y’all provide that have happened previously?

I mean we had a 7-4 ranked Tennessee, is it that absurd?

Wouldn't be surprised...N41D Will Howard surprisingly talking to A&M. I guess due to his familiarity with Klein and Weigman's injury history?
Supposedly the Top100 kid - Avery Johnson? - they signed last year is a potential to follow.
Will be curious what happens with Weigman - he's a star but IDK if he's the ideal prototype for what Klein does offensively.

We had this discussion so many times in here. The SEC bias isn’t about UGA/Bama, it’s the other midgets of the conference (A&M, ole Miss, Tennessee, etc.) that get ranked high for no reason at all. Perfect example was Tennessee being ranked at 7-4 before the final ranking. The reason it matters is it boosts teams like Bamas resume for beating them teams that frankly aren’t good. Meanwhile you’ll have a team from another conference with that same record not be anywhere near the rankings.
Same with Ole Miss. They play trash teams every year, get washed by the good teams, and maybe win one game against a good one and they’re somehow just outside of the top ten.
It all plays itself out anyway but it’s funny at this point. We know yall won’t take your SEC shades off to see it
