Do I believe there are 10 teams BETTER? No, I don't. Therefore, they should be in the top 10. They ran into a buzzsaw yesterday.

I don't give a shit. Yesterday was one of the most entertaining days I have seen in college football. Everything is so wide open. Assuming there's nobody left that's undefeated, it's going to be a fight for those 4 spots.

I can not agree more. Yesterday was the best day of football I have ever watched. Just unbelievable how great it was.

Interesting. Georgia lost to a 3-loss USCjr team, but is top 10. Oklahoma only dropped to 9th. I was wrong about A&M, all the way down to 14th. Upcoming...

(2) Auburn at (6) Mississippi State
(12) TCU at (3) Baylor
(4) Mississippi at (14) Texas A&M

What you really mean: I'm wrong but I'll deflect from that by stating an obvious observation.

ND blowhard is gonna blow hard. Not sure why I expected anything different.

GA might be the best team in the SEC right now. Neither team from the Lynching State will have less than 2 losses when it's all said & done.

I stand by my original statement that Oregon's loss didn't do anything to increase the B1G's chances of making the playoffs. But with all the upsets yesterday, it is now wide open for anyone.

But go ahead and keep being a douche.

That's because we're to the point of the season that the SEC really starts to benefit from the ESPN bias in promoting their own programming. SEC teams always tend to drop less when they lose, but when a fellow SEC team beats a higher ranked SEC team the winning team tends to jump up more than what is typical for non-SEC teams. And now we are seeing the end result. Because SC was supposedly a great team to begin the year, other SEC teams jumped up huge with wins over South Carolina or in Georgia's case weren't punished for losing to what appears to be a mediocre team at best.

LOL.

Georgia has an average defense AND a bad QB. They will lose at least 2 more games this year.

Right. 238 to 79 in scoring totals. Haven't played a close game yet and I don't see them playing one until they go to UAB. We've talked about it before. They will easily go 12-0.

Don't pay too much attention to the polls this week as they will change radically next week.
Slate of games include:
2.Auburn at 3.Miss St
3.Ole Miss at 14 TAMU
9 TCU at 5 Baylor
7 Bama at Arkansas
USC at 10 Arizona
Texas-Oklahoma
12 Oregon at 18 UCLA
13 UGA at 23 Mizzou

So, will there be as much chaos as yesterday? Maybe....

Marshall is a damn good team, but its understandable why they aren't ranked. They haven't and will not play a team from a power 5 conference this season.

Gay slurs have always been tolerated less than other things here, because people were throwing them around left and right a couple of years back, and it was decided to ask people to stop.

You're not the first person to be asked to stop (S&L was asked to by Justin earlier this year I believe), you won't be the last.

Changing the spelling doesn't make it not a slur either :RpS_mellow:

Soft schedule and a lot of good teams still with just 1 loss. Teams in the mid teens usually don't drop out and 20-25 all won.

It'll take the full season thru the conference championships....but I think they will definitely make top 15 if they don't lose and maybe #10-#12

I THINK they are #15-#20 overall but it's hard to tell. Excellent QB that can make Sunday passes better than most and run...big RB, quick RB's, big receivers with big upside and also the quick smaller WR. Defense backs are good and defense looks very big and athletic much like many of the SEC team but not the star studded recruits....but damn good ones. Coach is an awesome recruiter but he's not my favorite calling plays in crunch time.

So the forum's official position is that gay slurs are less tolerated than racial slurs? Just want to make sure I have this correct...

Changing spelling often changes the meaning of words. Especially in this case when it's been adopted as a standard way across most major internet forums to use the term while making clear it's not an anti-gay remark.

The forum doesn't really have an official stance on anything lately. Justin doesn't really care anymore.

Ts randomly modding your comment came out of nowhere.

Michigan's season just gets worse. Derrick Green is out for the season, and the backup was hurt against Rutgers. They won't comment on Smith, so your 3rd down back might be the starter.
