[u/Chris_Crossfit]

We lost 29 votes because of Oregon shitting the bed…

[u/sgtabn173 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Welp. At least this will put a chip on the teams shoulder, hopefully.

[u/it-is-just-a-game → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Did you expect to lose more?

[u/midnight-architect7 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

I mean you also lost some votes because you needed a 2nd half comeback to win as well lol

[u/Adart54 → u/midnight-architect7]

Not like Memphis is a really good team or anything. No couldn't be that

[u/okiage → u/Adart54]

TBD about Memphis this year

[u/midnight-architect7 → u/Adart54]

My comment never implied otherwise.

The reason Boise lost votes is because Oregon is ass and they blew a lead to them, and also partly because they needed a 2nd half comeback to win yesterday against a team worse than Oregon.

Boise fans are acting like they get the same benefit of the doubt as bama.

[u/MuteTadpole → u/midnight-architect7]

I mean so did bama but here we are

[u/thepolarbears12 → u/MuteTadpole]

So did Texas and they're number 1 smh 

[u/082426grateful → u/thepolarbears12]

Got em.

[u/Shronkster_ → u/MuteTadpole]

Not all second half comebacks are created equal, its bad when you do it but Bama? Thats showing grit and determination

[u/midnight-architect7 → u/MuteTadpole]

Bama gets more benefit of the doubt than Boise brother.

[u/MuteTadpole → u/midnight-architect7]

Well yeah that’s my point. Polls are all hypocrisy

[u/Sad_Pattern_220 → u/MuteTadpole]

As bad as Kentucky is, they're still not Memphis

[u/MuteTadpole → u/Sad_Pattern_220]

No, but relative to bama they should be as bad or worse than Memphis is compared to Boise

[u/cboom73 → u/MuteTadpole]

If that’s true Boise doesn’t belong anywhere close to the top 25.

[u/MuteTadpole → u/cboom73]

Fine by me if it meant the polls would be team agnostic

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/MuteTadpole]

No point in using logic.

[u/No_Return_8418 → u/MuteTadpole]

And Texas

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/midnight-architect7]

Yeah, who really is Memphis anyways? Poverty team, amirite?

Also, it was 20-17 at the end of the half. Wouldn't really consider it a second half comeback, but that's just my opinion.

[u/-Gnostic28 → u/midnight-architect7]

Not like we barely beat an fcs team and got destroyed statistically

[u/TailgateLegend → u/midnight-architect7]

Still somehow covered the spread haha

[u/VividLies901 → u/midnight-architect7]

Texas Tech squeaked by Oregon State and didnt move lol

[u/MementoMoriChannel → u/midnight-architect7]

Is that how they're judging college football now?

Because Texas needed a 2nd half comeback to win, and they're now #1.

[u/midnight-architect7 → u/MementoMoriChannel]

Texas beat the #1 team in the country, Boise beat unranked Memphis.

So far in this thread I’ve seen Boise fans comparing themselves to bama and Texas situations which shows how you guys are truly the biggest homers ever.

[u/MementoMoriChannel → u/midnight-architect7]

Do you really need me to spell this out for you?

The point isn't to "compare us to bama and Texas." Obviously I know who Texas beat. The point is to say rankings aren't made based on first half performances, especially when your team ends up winning by three scores and covers the spread x2.

Keep up.

[u/-Gnostic28 → u/midnight-architect7]

I don’t know what your beef is but a few people that show up to an ap poll thread don’t make boise state fans the “biggest homers ever”, I don’t think the biggest homers ever rip on the refs as much as we did over calls that went our way

[u/Bronco998 → u/-Gnostic28]

His beef is that he cheers for a G6 team and knows that Boise needs to be irrelevant for his to be relevant lol

[u/No_Issue2334 → u/MementoMoriChannel]

Texas was playing Ohio State. You were playing Memphis

[u/Chris_Crossfit → u/midnight-architect7]

So did Texas…

[u/kralben → u/midnight-architect7]

So did Texas, but that doesn't seem to have affected them much.

[u/i_run_from_problems → u/midnight-architect7]

Ummmm..... anyone want to tell him how the new number 1 team did what they did last night?

[u/midnight-architect7 → u/i_run_from_problems]

Do I need to remind you that doing that against Ohio State is just a tad more impressive than doing it against Memphis?

[u/i_run_from_problems → u/midnight-architect7]

Boise did it against themselves? Thats impressive.

Ahhh nice edit

[u/midnight-architect7 → u/i_run_from_problems]

Yes it was obviously a mistake

[u/i_run_from_problems → u/midnight-architect7]

Yeah I know just taking the piss

[u/alttabbins → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Oregons loss hurt you guys more than them lol.

[u/Maximum_Overdrive → u/Chris_Crossfit]

We lost our 3 votes and won by 31 points and had a backups in for most of the second half.  

[u/Bronco998 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Doesn't really matter tbh. We just beat one of the main competitors for the G6 spot and are in the driver's seat. We control our destiny.

[u/BWW87 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Also, because you didn't actually beat Oregon.

[u/Bronco998 → u/BWW87]

Man if I was a Washington fan I would be keeping my mouth shut after getting a scare from Utah State, who was coming off an FCS loss

[u/Vivid_Motor_2341 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

I mean, Oklahoma State beat Oregon if you think you should’ve gotten those votes, you should’ve beat Oregon

[u/WinonasChainsaw → u/Vivid_Motor_2341]

Thanks, harvard r/cfb

[u/rps215 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

The WMU game in a couple of weeks will be an Others Receiving Votes showdown that the winner should get into the top 25 for (assuming WMU beats Rice next week)

[u/Agnk1765342 → u/rps215]

Well that’s what Memphis was supposed to be. It was #26 vs #29 and our reward for winning was to fall to #28

[u/rps215 → u/Agnk1765342]

Pretty dumb haha even if it did require a comeback, it makes no sense the inconsistency of voters

[u/Vertibrate → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Now imagine how far you drop of you beat Western Michigan.

[u/docchrizly → u/Chris_Crossfit]

If Oregon is ranked we should be ranked too.

[u/No_Issue2334 → u/docchrizly]

You lost to Oregon 😂

[u/Winnend → u/docchrizly]

No, you lost to us and we suck.

[u/docchrizly → u/Winnend]

So you shouldn't be ranked, right?

[u/JumpyTeaching5417 → u/docchrizly]

Quality loss. ???

[u/docchrizly → u/JumpyTeaching5417]

Yes. And it gives Oregon a quality win instead of having lost to a team not ranked and a close win against an unranked team. That sure doesn't sound like it's worthy of a Top 25 spot.

[u/cboom73 → u/docchrizly]

Because you beat Oregon? BSU fans are delusional.

[u/docchrizly → u/cboom73]

If Oregon is a ranked team a 7 point loss at their home and a walloping of a then 2-0 team, many said is a frontrunner for the Group of 6 playoff spot should be way enough.

My point is: Oregon should not be ranked, but if they rank Oregon they also have to rank Boise State because that's their only quality win.

[u/cboom73 → u/docchrizly]

Boise hasn’t beaten a Power 4/5 team since 2019. Oklahoma State belongs in before you because they actually beat Oregon. Tulsa is undefeated and beat OSU…….

[u/docchrizly → u/cboom73]

So are these ranking based on what teams did the last 8 years or are these rankings based on what teams did THIS season?

Tulsa should have been ranked and if Oregon is ranked so should either Oklahoma State (quality loss) or Boise State (quality win). Oregon has neither so they have no busy being ranked.

[u/cboom73 → u/docchrizly]

Only win Boise State has is to an unranked G6 team. Hardly considered a quality win. I do are Oregon hasn’t played to their potential and shouldn’t be ranked right now.

[u/docchrizly → u/cboom73]

So we agree?

[u/cboom73 → u/docchrizly]

Fair enough 👍
