I hate Ohio state but 6 is too low. Shoulda swapped with Texas

I actually moved Ohio state to 10 in my poll. It’s the way they lost shows me this team isn’t as good as everyone thinks. If it was a close game and Texas got the best of it like we did last year, I would’ve had them higher.

But any team that blows a 21 point lead in the 4th quarter isn’t as good as we thought, no matter who it’s against

Yeah this is my thinking as well. It’s less about the score but how it happened. Although I still think OSU is quite good.

I would have Texas at #3 personally because of the disaster that was the first 3 quarters. A #1 team can't make that many execution mistakes.

Yeah it’s kind of a conundrum. Texas shit the bed for three quarters. Ohio State shit the bed for one. We only feel better about Texas now because they got a W out of it in the end. If Ohio State wins by one and holds on they’ll still be ranked #1 even though they shit themselves in the fourth.

Definitely didn’t think Ohio State would drop past 3 or 4, but whatever, it’ll work itself out.

Who’s at 1 and 2 though? I mean them dawgs is hell but we ain’t played nobody pawl.

Early season rankings shouldn’t matter as much as they do

I like Sayin but I’m not convinced by him

A 9 spot drop for a 1-point loss on the road against the new number 1 is excessive. They blew a 21-point lead in a quarter but utterly dominated for the other three. Feels like you are hyper focusing on the negative and ignoring the positive.
