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.

      Don't be greedy.

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t see what would make him so good with Bryce to be honest, that we aren’t covering now with Tet and Coker. We need a Smitty type. Easier said than done but those smoke screens and stuff, with two Moose types for people to worry about, seems better to me. A little guy with supreme quickness, that will fight for a ball thrown to him. Smitty was a very rare specimen. But try and get close.    I think looking for straight up speed to go downfield, can’t really use it with Bryce. I feel like a speed demon would just outrun Bryce’s ball and have to coast on his deep routes to stay within range.  You need a QB that will launch it 50-60 yards so he can turn on the afterburners and go.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I still can't believe Harbaugh took the Giants job knowing the Bills job was going to open up with anything less than a Super Bowl run by McDermott. Now he's stuck with basically the white Lamar Jackson, on and off the field, a RB who will be in the WWE in 2 years, and Malik Nabers who will want to be traded by the end of next year.  Not to mention that division is an absolute gauntlet.  Stefanski to the Falcons, unfortunately for us, is a great hire.  He will see what a bum Penix is, make Cousins the starter and they will run away with the division for the next 2-3 years.  The rest of the jobs are great opportunities to get a guaranteed $30-$50M depending on who you are and where you go, but there isn't a single job out there where you are going to win immediately other than Buffalo (where you have to deal with a front office undermining you) and Baltimore (where your QB purposely sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles and dresses like he's in a Bobby Shmurda video).

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By frankw · Posted

      Folks complained quite frequently when DJ Moore was here that he was not a #1 and never would be. That was when he was still on a rookie contract and then briefly on the new deal we signed him to which now looks like an absolute steal compared to his current contract. If he were here now making what he's making we would never hear the end of it. Gotta turn the page.
