Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Orange.]

Vols jumped to #7 !

+7 spots ties for nation's largest move. (ND -7.)

Are you catholic or smoking? That Orange bowl was 11 years ago. NIU is 26-33 in the last 5 seasons lmao.

Notre Dame should drop out of the Top 20

I think that was blue font? I was struggling to decide too lol

No. 7 nationally. No. 6 in the SEC. Crazy

And number 3 in SEC power rankings. Luckily Alabama plays both Ole Miss and UGA. It’ll be interesting to revisit this later on in the season.

This is the internet. Everything is serious.

How is Mizzou no.6? I guess because they only play two good teams? Their schedule is weak and don't play anyone until end of Oct or Nov.

I think the turnovers would be the only reason ya grade the offensive performance a B.

NC State was playing a defense designed to eliminate big plays in the passing game and we never really got into our tempo enough to tire them out. But most teams would be thrilled with 5 TDs and 450+ total yards, even with 2 INTs

Drop from what? Preseason guesses? That's the danger of preseason rankings, they're not based on this season performance, but people are reluctant to change the preseason guesses even when this season performance doesn't support it.

Miami has shown more this season than ole miss.l and Ohio state. You shouldn't drop ole miss or Ohio state, but I do think they should drop because Miami passes them and we pass them. I prefer to base it on this season more than last season. Don't ignore last season, but preseason guesses should hold much less weight than performance and resume this season. That approach will balance out as good teams play other good teams as the season goes on, but keeping someone high despite someone else having a better resume so far is a bad precedent.

Drop from the current rankings. Which, I agree is flawed.

I wish they didn't do any rankings until like Week 4 but here we are.

Seeing some highlights of some teams I think there are 5 teams that have the offense and defense to win a playoff game.

Tejas
UGA
OSU
Vols
Ole Miss

I’m hoping Bill O’Brien pulls off the shocker next week. Of course BC has to play at mighty and intensely intimidating Faurot Field so who can say? I bet even NIU would struggle there.

 

[SoilVol]

I like how they're justifying ND by putting NIU in the top 25

Be careful, @GoBigOrange86 won't like this take.

#7 in AP?!

 

[butchna]

Yay! Bears matched Buffalo being on the wrong side of 17-3.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

This is the 1st time in the history of the program that they've scored 50+ points in the first 2 games.....gonna be 3 in a row next saturday.

Ole miss hasn't played anyone yet so we can't say what they have yet. Especially since Kiffin has be stat stuffing by keeping his starters in

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

9th in coaches poll. We usually trend a little higher in it, so I am guessing around 11-12 in AP.

Should be at least top 6 in both. If you can jump Miami as far as they jumped for beating a putrid Florida team, then we should jump that far for decimating a top 25 opponent.

 

[MarcoVol]

And now my least popular post, maybe ever…. but this is a baller pic . I’m also extremely happy he’s no longer the HC.

 

[Orange_Crush]

...but teams are just getting viciously out-schemed by Josh Heupel. It's gross..."

 

[rocktopper16]

Anyone else notice this?

I already asked if it was blue font and he doubled down lol

Pili is a BAD man!...he doesn't just want to stop fools...he wants to crush their soul and give them PPiliTSD for the rest of their life.

You’re way too quick for me

Fair, but their offense is legit.
