This weeks ranking that will look like nonsense by this time next week.

Lots of upsets?  

I think UGA and whoever loses Bama/UT will obviously go down.  I think Miami goes down after flirting with defeat every ACC game thus far.  That's about all that stands out for me.

It’s been shuffled every week.  Someone always in the top 25 that doesn’t belong there.

It's going to be interesting to see how the AP and Playoffs rankers handle the end of the year. With SEC/Big 12/Big 10 all beating one another, and all these saller schools sitting there with 1 loss or less, will they of course shove a 3 loss elite program in the Playoffs over a lesser school with a better record?

It'll be interesting but personally I'm not overly concerned about it. Honestly, if you're on the bubble of the top 12 teams you probably don't have a realistic shot anyway. The 12 team field is gonna capture all the teams with a realistic chance barring some significant factor like losing a game or two because your star QB was hurt or something along those lines.

True, but all things being equal you'd put a hypothetical 7-1 Memphis ahead of a 5-2 Georgia. So if wins and losses actually matter for everyone, there should be NO 3 loss team when the Playoff bracket is made no matter if they're from the SEC/BIG 12 10. If that means something like SMU, Army, Navy, Boise St, Iowa St, North Texas, etc. are in and Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Michigan, USC, Florida or whoever are out ... then so be it.

Basically what I'm saying is don't let your fear of not having a big name in the Playoffs force you to do some BS, selection committee. I know, I know, wishful thinking.

Trust and believe, the SEC will find some way to get 3 or 4 teams in even though they don't deserve it.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
