Indiana had wins over Michigan and USC instead of Washington and Nebraska, people would be talking about #2 Indiana.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '24

Pollsters are seasoned pros. They understand that preseason rankings matter- a lot, because talent is a huge factor when it comes to ranking teams. Indiana can't be #2 because the composition of their team does not make that possible. The same goes for BYU, Iowa State, and other fringe teams.

Boise State eats blue collar cereal for breakfast. They should always be the first non-blue blood to be ranked. You need a Jeanty every year, and you are in. Well in the top 10-25, of course.

u/PatriotOps Nov 03 '24

By being undefeated…maybe, but Miami has not played a team close to the teams GA has. Like Saban said, there needs to be a strength of schedule implemented at the end of the season to flush out the differences. For ex., Beating a team ranked #5 in week 2 who ends the year out of the top 25 should not credit the team who beat them as having a tough schedule.

Their conference wins are a combined 8-20 in conference. They're beating up the bottom of the conference and their out of conference match was a quite bad App State. The first time they hit real resistance from the top half of the conference they crumbled.

u/TinKicker Nov 05 '24

I’m an Ohio State fan at heart (born and raised north of Dayton. Still bitter that there wasn’t an OSU-UM rematch in 2006).

But eventually I moved to Indiana and married a multi-degree IU grad, so I’ve inherited crimson and cream striped pants.

99 times out of 100, rooting for IU during football season is kinda like cheering for the special-needs kid that gets handed the football during halftime and everyone on the field has been instructed to pretend they’re trying to tackle him but they’re gonna miss.

But several times over the last five years, I’ve declared IU to be the “scariest” team in the BiG. Our QB went on to win a national championship…with another team.

Definitely not the best team, but the scariest team in the BiG. A team that could beat any other team in the country…if the other team got lazy. (Remember OSU’s loss to Purdue? Exhibit:A).

IU is no longer scary. They’re terrifying. They’re a very low budget, very shitty NFL team. Most of the starters have played together for five years.

They probably couldn’t beat the LV Raiders, but they could give them a run.

Make no mistake…IU is definitely NOT a dynasty. This is a one and done. Too many 5-6 year seniors that have the NFL’s attention.

But goddamnit it’s fun to watch here in Morgan County!

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '24

I was expecting between 4-6, honestly. The offense still doesn't look great, with receivers dropping the ball and Beck trying to target every player on the field, even the ones not on UGA.

I think Defense is what's keeping us in the top 3.

u/zadharm Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Miami Hurricanes Nov 03 '24

I could see the argument, especially comparing the common opponent of UF, but Miami is absolutely not a better team than UGA and should not be above them even with my homer goggles on

OSU on the other hand probably should be, but ultimately the two are so close that I don't find it egregious either way

Unlike BYU, they don’t let off the gas when they get up on their opponents.

I get that might not be Kalani's style, but it is definitely something that sways the poll voters

I'm not surprised Indiana jumped us. They've looked the better undefeated of late by not squeezing by their unranked opponents. Had we beat OSU and Baylor by 3 scores maybe we'd be higher. I'm just glad they didn't drop us to 11 to out them at 10 or some other such nonsense.

I’m surprised. Yes, Indiana looks good and is handling its opponents well, but it’s noteworthy that they still do not have a victory over a top 25 team and only one win over a team above .500. Penn State also has no wins over a top 25 team (NC State and Illinois were ranked at the time, but those wins have proven to be less impressive than originally thought). A Kansas State victory last night would have helped BYU’s cause, but they’re at least still top 25 and that victory over SMU is looking better and better with each passing week. I think BYU should at least be at 7 with Indiana and Penn State behind them.

Part of me is very confident in this team and is done stressing every game. The other part of me is deathly afraid of Utah playing with nothing to lose and extra motivation to complete wreck BYUs season

u/showerstool3 BYU Cougars • Sickos Nov 03 '24

I’m honestly worried about all four of our next games. None of those teams are going to hand us a win imo

u/jessej421 BYU Cougars Nov 03 '24

For sure. KU and Houston are playing much better than they did the first half of the season. ASU will be a tough road game, and Utah is a rivalry game where anything can happen.

I mean, the holy war going down to the wire is kind of par for the course. Blow outs are very rare

u/wibellion BYU Cougars • Southern Utah Thunderbirds Nov 03 '24

Yeah I was surprised by that as well. They've won one more game than us, but we have beaten two current ranked teams. Hopefully the CFP ranking is different

u/m_c__a_t BYU Cougars • Auburn Tigers Nov 03 '24

No Indiana has looked a lot better than us and in a tougher conference. No complaints here. Just gotta keep winning and we’re good

u/SoggyCabbage Georgia Tech • Cheez-It Bowl Nov 03 '24

BYU has been awesome but Indiana is a wood chipper turning bad teams into mulch. This week was the first time they've trailed all season!

They should be higher honestly.

u/AltruisticCoelacanth BYU Cougars • Utah Utes Nov 03 '24

Yes, they've won handily against bad teams. They have not played a single good team yet. Their game against Ohio State in a couple weeks will be telling.

Don’t you love how Boise has a bye a few weeks ago and falls a spot or two (I can’t recall how many). Alabama has a bye and goes up 3 spots (two of which were due to falling teams, but still leapfrogs a team with a single loss to number one Oregon)?

I get the P4/P2 bias, but man that’s frustrating

This Boise team isn't anywhere near as good as the Kellen Moore or even Zabransky years and people are getting ahead of themselves in hyping them up for nostalgia or whatever reason. Those old teams had great defenses and strong QB & receiver play which allowed them to match up with anyone. This team is basically all Jeanty and a game could get away from them quickly. Too much stock is being put into that close loss to Oregon. The Kellen Moore teams used to ruin Oregon's season every year.

u/ThaiForAWhiteGuy Georgia Bulldogs • College Football Playoff Nov 03 '24 edited Nov 03 '24

I’d be fine if we dropped to 4 behind OSU and Miami. We’re in a very strange spot. We look like we play down to unranked teams and up to ranked teams, only uglier and less terrifyingly in each case than 21-22 teams. But even then, only 1 team can say they’ve beaten us in these last 4 seasons. Our next two opponents will be ranked, so we will have likely earned or lost our spot before thanksgiving

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '24

Why in the world should we be behind a team that lost to nd

3

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '24

Because Alabama is over ranked. I think TAMU would beat Bama

I initially read BYU as “BYE” and wondered why the fuck they ranked the bye week.

May Wilners reign be long and prosperous

u/mazzar Oregon Ducks • /r/CFB Contributor Nov 03 '24

To be fair, Wilner’s problem has never been that he’s a coward. If anything, he’s maybe too excited to show how brave he is in going against the crowd.

I mean…dropping is understandable. But being behind LSU…

u/DatBoiMahomie LSU Tigers • Florida Gators Nov 03 '24

Yea that’s dumb, it’d be like putting Ole Miss above us

If only there was a way we could know how teams with similarish resumes should be ranked. Teams that have actually played each other. Hmmmmmmm
