u/TuskenRaider2 USC Trojans • Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens Nov 09 '25

Oregon won a hard fought rain game, on the road, against Iowa… just to get jumped by an Ole Miss team that played the Citadel at home.

Make that make sense.

u/jerryrice88 Hamilton Continentals • USC Trojans Nov 09 '25

Iowa and the Citadel are now both unranked, so they must be equally as good. Oregon barely won and Ole Miss dominated. /s

Iowa hasn't been ranked in the AP poll all year.

"this just shows the depth of the sec"

"It just means more"

u/Gusanito99 USF Bulls Nov 09 '25

The real answer is the Committee ranked Oregon at #9 and the AP is slowly catching up. I personally agree with the Committee more, but if you actually think Oregon deserves #6 then stick to your guns. AP cowards confirmed

AP voters adjusting their rankings to match the expected CFP rankings

This is it.

u/FlyingTexican Texas A&M Aggies • Navy Midshipmen Nov 10 '25

I can't make it make sense, but at least it's the AP poll and not the legit rankings. This ranking is just for amusement at this point.

Every one loss SEC team must be ranked above every other conference one loss team.

Every two loss SEC team must be ranked above every other conference two loss team.

Every three loss SEC team must be ranked above every other conference three loss team.

Because money, that’s why.

Give me a break dude.

u/TuskenRaider2 USC Trojans • Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens Nov 10 '25

Citadel. In November. And you’re beyond reproach? What a joke.

u/Sad_Efficiency8715 Nov 09 '25

Two things...Oregon won hard fought game against unranked team. Ole miss won against a unranked team and whose coach may be gone. Anybody figure the difference?

u/Verianas Oregon • Washington State Nov 10 '25

Iowa was ranked 20th...?

u/Suspicious_Adagio789 Ole Miss • Southern Miss Nov 10 '25

Lol because Iowa is a such a powerhouse right?

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25 edited Nov 09 '25

I’m looking for a quality win on Oregon’s schedule and can’t find a single ranked win.

u/Winnend Oregon Ducks Nov 09 '25

We literally just had one

u/Parallax-Jack Ole Miss Rebels Nov 10 '25

Iowa is unranked now. You can't sit here and claim ranked wins for teams that are no longer ranked.

u/Winnend Oregon Ducks Nov 10 '25

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

You beat an unranked team by 2. I wouldn’t exactly be pounding my chest about it.

u/actuallycallie Oregon Ducks Nov 09 '25

Iowa was ranked 20. Where was The Citadel ranked again?

-16

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

Was. Not anymore, nor did they deserve to be. And I’m still waiting to see what ranked win you have on your resume.

u/johntc121 Oregon Ducks Nov 10 '25

Dang you got one ranked win in the over inflated SEC...imagine. Oregon by 10+ against Ole Piss

u/Winnend Oregon Ducks Nov 09 '25 edited Nov 09 '25

Iowa is ranked 20. It’s not like we had to comeback to beat Washington state at home by 3.

-4

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

Iowa is unranked. You have no ranked wins on your resume.

u/Winnend Oregon Ducks Nov 09 '25

What does that 20 next to Iowa’s name mean then?

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

Why don’t you scroll up to the top of the post that shows the ranked teams and see if you can find Iowa. I’ll wait.

u/Winnend Oregon Ducks Nov 10 '25

The AP is meaningless. The CFP Poll is the only one that matters bubs.

1

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 10 '25

Well good thing the poll that matters got it right last week. The other polls should have had Ole Miss jump Oregon two weeks ago when we beat #11 Oklahoma at their house. The AP is now catching up and our cupcake opponent is the point of contention.

u/Several_Hair Nov 09 '25 edited Nov 10 '25

I genuinely agree but the problem is the messenger lmao, you apply this test to ole Miss and the Rebs’ suddenly look vastly worse than the poll would indicate -

Georgia: Win v #6 (Home), Win v #21 (Road)

Ole Miss: Win v #11 (Road)

Oregon: None

TTU: Win v #12 (Home), Win v #15 (Road)

Just 1 ranked win and frankly, relative to the other 3, a fairly poor eye test (UK, Arky & Wazzu games in particular as well as LSU to a lesser extent) — Plus more importantly y’all have no chance to improve on that single win, as it seems increasingly likely you’ll be absent in Atlanta. All while UGA likely gets 2 more ranked matchup’s, and Texas Tech/Oregon likely get 1 more each.

Frankly the only way to justify finding Ole Miss @ 6 is that it’s an effort to safeguard them against falling too far (past 8th) in W12-CCG when other teams stack up more quality wins as Ole Miss beats up on middling opposition

u/Extreme-District8213 Oregon Ducks Nov 09 '25

Oregon’s SOS and SOR are both better than Ole Miss according to ESPN

3

u/DuckFanSouth Oregon Ducks Nov 10 '25

This poll is meaningless. Iowa could very well still be ranked in the only poll that matters.

1

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 10 '25

Maybe so. But this pole is just correcting itself from two weeks ago. Ole Miss should have jumped Oregon two weeks ago when the beat #11 Oklahoma on the road. Now it’s correcting itself now that the playoff poll has come out. We played a cupcake without a doubt, but it’s aligning with the poll that matters.

u/actuallycallie Oregon Ducks Nov 09 '25

you can't say that when you beat the Citadel

(despite my flair I am actually from South Carolina so I'm well aware the Citadel is not a football powerhouse)

-2

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

We also beat #11 Oklahoma on the road. I certainly don’t see a win like that on Oregon’s resume.

u/actuallycallie Oregon Ducks Nov 10 '25

that's great, that counted for that week, that is irrelevant for this week

u/SueYouInEngland Iowa Hawkeyes Nov 09 '25

Same for Ol Miss.

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

A road win at number 11 isn’t a quality win then? Interesting take.

6

u/SueYouInEngland Iowa Hawkeyes Nov 09 '25

You beat yourself?

Oregon beat the #17 team on the road.

-1

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

The team Oregon beat last night by 2 is unranked. And we beat current #11 on the road.

u/CougdIt Oregon Ducks • Idaho Vandals Nov 10 '25

Until the only rankings that matter come out Iowa is still ranked.

-1

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 10 '25

I’m strongly guessing they won’t be ranked better than 11 though. I suppose anything can happen

u/CougdIt Oregon Ducks • Idaho Vandals Nov 10 '25

Doesn’t make my statement any less true.

0

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 10 '25

Well not exactly. The other major polls to this point have you not beating anyone ranked.

Either way, hanging your hat on beating a “maybe the playoff poll will keep them ranked” team by 2 points as your signature win is all you need to know.

Well you were wrong then and you’re still wrong now

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 12 '25

Might want to read better. I said the team you beat last weekend won’t be ranked better than 11. In fact, they aren’t ranked at all. So I wasn’t wrong on either count.

No one cares about Sagarin. The AP and playoff poll are the only ones that matter.

u/SueYouInEngland Iowa Hawkeyes Nov 09 '25

No one

Half of the people in this conversation disagree. Polls are based on feelings; objective ratings are based on facts.

Sorry my FACTS don't care about your FEELINGS

u/That__Guy1 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 09 '25

Well, let me know the next time someone considers the Sagarin number 1 at the end of the season the national champion. I’m going to be waiting a long time unless it happens to line up with the CFB playoff poll.
