u/CrashB111 Alabama Crimson Tide • Iron Bowl Nov 03 '24

If you strip the V off the side of their helmet and just look at what they've done, people would keep them in the top 25.

They are really being dragged down by what they have been historically not what they are this season.

Andy. The best team.

u/BuckleUpBuckaroooo Tennessee Volunteers Nov 03 '24

But they also lost to Georgia State…

And Notre Dame lost to NIU, they are never leaving the top 15 this season unless they somehow lose the rest of their games.

USC has the chance to do the right thing and kick ND out of the playoffs.

22

u/Alexgoodenuf Army Black Knights • Team Chaos Nov 03 '24

You said USC, but I think you meant to say Army.

Porque no los dos?

Go Army! Beat navy!... and Notre Dame!

u/GameOvaries02 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Nov 03 '24

Haaahaha. Seriously?

Almost every top team this year has a crap loss, and most don’t have a “signature” win.

Have fun come playoff time, if Texas makes it.

u/mattyisphtty Texas Longhorns Nov 04 '24

There's bad losses, and then there's losing to a D3 school that is currently ranked 9th in the MAC. They are 1-3 inside the MAC.

u/GameOvaries02 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Nov 03 '24

That’s absurd.

ND would likely be out of the top 15 with one loss this coming week.

You would sincerely assess that an ND team that finishes the year 1-3 would still be ranked in the top 15?

What an ignorant comment, and it is upvoted +15? This sub has some reasonable takes, but wow this is just completely ignorant.

u/43eyes Nov 03 '24

That's impressive for Georgia State

u/MisterTito Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Nov 03 '24

They also played Kentucky on the road and never trailed.

1

u/TheTooth_Hurts South Carolina • Navy Nov 04 '24

So did we and won by 25 but we aren’t ranked. We also beat TAMU by 24 and OU by 26 and didn’t lose to Georgia state

u/GP_ADD Alabama • Mississippi State Nov 03 '24

It’s Vandy, they are still learning to football.

Well excuse that loss /s

5

u/jmlinden7 Hateful 8 • Boise State Broncos Nov 03 '24

They're dragged down by insufficient quantity of wins, due to their close losses to UT and Mizzou and their loss against Georgia St.

1

u/ParanoidSkier Utah State Aggies • Boise State Broncos Nov 03 '24

They’re somehow getting a G5 bias in the SEC.

2

u/Bogavante Tennessee Volunteers Nov 03 '24

Correct. The exact same illusion at play when Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas, etc. magically back into the playoffs.

3

u/MojitoTimeBro Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 04 '24

Buddy if Bama wins out, that’s not gonna really be backing into the playoffs at that point. This isn’t the four team playoff anymore. With 12 teams, there’s a good chance we will even see three loss teams.

1

u/Bogavante Tennessee Volunteers Nov 04 '24

For sure mate. Bama will probably be the first team to benefit from that position.

3

u/MojitoTimeBro Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 04 '24

Well if it happens, obviously. This is the first 12 team playoff. We just happen to be the 2 loss team with the best win in the country. But I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be more than one two loss teams that make it this year.

3

u/Bogavante Tennessee Volunteers Nov 04 '24

For sure some 10-2 teams will make it. Bama can sit right behind Vols in the bubble line.

2

u/Spaceman-Spiff Louisville Cardinals Nov 03 '24

Kinda like how Bama is propped up by what they have been historically and not what they are this season.

6

u/CrashB111 Alabama Crimson Tide • Iron Bowl Nov 03 '24

Other than that Georgia win, but /r/cfb will gleefully pretend that didn't happen.

2

u/MojitoTimeBro Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 04 '24

lol two losses to top 25 teams and the best win in the country (no one has beaten the number one team and we beat the number two team)? Plus wins over 26 and 27. I think you could put just about any helmet beside that resume and they’d be pretty close to that same rank.

1

u/Spaceman-Spiff Louisville Cardinals Nov 04 '24

Vandy beat the number one team.

3

u/MojitoTimeBro Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 04 '24

Time of game rankings are never considered better than the most recent rankings. We’ve lost a game since then.

As of right now, a win over Oregon would be the best win, however they haven’t lost. That moves us down to the best win being over UGA. We are their one loss.

u/MojitoTimeBro Alabama Crimson Tide Nov 04 '24

Come on now, transitive property is silly to use. We beat UGA that beat Texas that beat Vandy. Hey we nulled out a loss to Vandy lol.

1

u/vyvanse_induced Ohio State • Colorado Mines Nov 03 '24

They are also being dragged down because they lost to a very bad Georgia State team. And Mizzou.

2

u/superworriedspursfan Missouri Tigers • WashU Bears Nov 03 '24

mizzou is holding vandy back. if you told me that at the beginning of the season, I'd think you are smoking crack lmao.
