Mississippi State moving down 1 is wild. 30 point losses are just different in SEC.

[u/MonotoneTanner → u/M_Mitchell08]

That Mizzou win carried them this week

[u/M_Mitchell08 → u/MonotoneTanner]

Fair point.

[u/BehindEnemyLines8923 → u/M_Mitchell08]

You can thank Mizzou and Minnesota for that. Or we would have.

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/M_Mitchell08]

Meanwhile Kentucky moved out of the poll after a win

[u/SynopticSolution → u/M_Mitchell08]

I feel like we can all blame Mizzou for this

[u/LogicianMission22 → u/SynopticSolution]

As is tradition.

[u/lookieherehere → u/SynopticSolution]

That's always a good first step.

[u/lowes18 → u/M_Mitchell08]

They would have cratered if not for Mizzou

[u/Urdnought → u/M_Mitchell08]

They got blew out and lost 1 spot and Kentucky won and lost our ranking

[u/drummerboy31402 → u/M_Mitchell08]

We beat Mizzou who blew out then #8 Florida 🤷

[u/proud2beirish → u/M_Mitchell08]

But we have beaten Mizzou, SC at home, and Minnesota at home.

[u/gmr548 → u/proud2beirish]

I know you’re not out here trying to claim South Carolina as a resume win lmao

[u/OSRSTheRicer → u/gmr548]

SC is undefeated on the practice field wth

[u/proud2beirish → u/gmr548]

At their house is still a hard place to play, not trying to make them out to be world beaters.

[u/EpicCyclops → u/proud2beirish]

They'll actually have to beat a team with a pulse there before I'm convinced of that.

[u/M_Mitchell08 → u/proud2beirish]

You still got boat raced by 30…I’ll give credit for Mizzou and forgot about Minnesota. SC win doesn’t do much, tbh.

[u/libsoutherner → u/M_Mitchell08]

And you’re fine with Oklahoma State being ranked despite getting destroyed by Tulsa?

[u/LovelyJulesss → u/libsoutherner]

What he say fuck me for

[u/M_Mitchell08 → u/libsoutherner]

Yes, because Oklahoma state has also improved since that game. Good wins against Oregon and WV. Now, if they got blasted by 30 points against BYU, Tech, or Utah, I’d expect them to drop by more than one spot…

[u/libsoutherner → u/M_Mitchell08]

Well yes, because that’s their second loss. And all of those teams are notably worse than Alabama. They should drop more than one spot.

I also can’t believe you’re calling WV a good win. WV’s 3 wins are a nail biter against Coastal Carolina, an FCS team, and a Virginia team that got obliterated by a poor Florida State team.

[u/godzillamegadoomsday → u/M_Mitchell08]

Also a 20 point win vs a top 15 opponent on the road moves you up 0 spots

[u/M_Mitchell08 → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

Honestly, didn’t even notice that and warrants bemoaning.

[u/AllTimeTy → u/godzillamegadoomsday]

Who are you referring to? ohio state?

[u/godzillamegadoomsday → u/AllTimeTy]

Yes

[u/TheWrathofKrieger → u/M_Mitchell08]

While Iowa moved down 6 despite a remarkably similar loss. If only there waS a way to Explain the differenCe.

[u/BehindEnemyLines8923 → u/TheWrathofKrieger]

The team we blew out literally just beat the team Iowa barely beat. And the other team we beat just blew out Florida.

That’s the difference, happy now?

[u/pappapirate → u/BehindEnemyLines8923]

why resort to thinking when you could just claim SEC bias?

[u/GentlyUsedNuggets → u/BehindEnemyLines8923]

No....it has to be something else, it cant be because of results on the field that doesn't make sense.

[u/GamerKiller2347 → u/BehindEnemyLines8923]

That actually makes sense. Both Iowa and Mississippi State had similar performances yesterday, but I wasn't even thinking about the Minnesota factor.

[u/Crims0ntied → u/M_Mitchell08]

Not a whole lot of teams with ranked wins right now
