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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
