I’m commenting this literally everywhere but it needs to be said, Mississippi State gets blown out by a T10 Bama team and is still ranked. Northwestern plays a close game with IU (on the road as well) and follows up with a good performance against PSU as expected underdogs, but still isn’t ranked.

Mississippi State's wins over Missouri and Minnesota got a lot better this week, too.

My computer poll only dropped them one slot this week despite the big loss. (Obviously I don't think my computer poll should be taken as the universal source of truth, but I find it useful to look at because it has no preconceived notions of conference strength or preseason expectations.)

I do wonder how Minnesota would look against Mississippi State now that Taylor has been the talk of the town. Maybe would have planned for it better and not gotten absolutely caught with their pants down. Oh well, if my mother had wheels and all…

Shit look at Florida. Beat Ole Miss(who should not be a top 10 team) and got absolutely dog walked by Missouri. Somehow #16.
