No moves in the top six but that PSU moved up a spot to #7 is darn silly

 

[TrueOrange]

That PSU moved up a spot is darn silly

A team above them (Notre Dame) lost.

 

[LittleVol]

Nice!
Top 10 after dismantling two opponents.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

PSU and Oregon deserved to drop. OSU and USC are the only two B1G teams who look halfway decent.

 

[ButchPlz]

A team above them (Notre Dame) lost.

And they barely beat Bowling Green while we walloped a ranked team. We should have leaped them. But it doesn't really matter.

Penn State will be exposed once conference play for them begins. They played from behind most of the game against BG.

 

[LittleVol]

So..
If the New Playoff were to start this weekend…

We’d be in!!

Remember guys. 12 teams now!

 

[ButchPlz]

Penn State will be exposed once conference play for them begins. They played from behind most of the game against BG.

All these teams ahead of us and I think we're either right there or better than all of them. NC State may be plain bad but we are taking care of business unlike most other teams.

 

[WillisWG]

A team above them (Notre Dame) lost.

they've had trouble handling less talented teams in WVU and BG, they don't look like a T10 team to me

Of course, WAY too early to take anything seriously about any of this, but it’s fun to think about.

Going by the current coaches poll, we would be the 11th seed.

1. Georgia, SEC Champ
2. Ohio State, BIG Champ
3. Utah, Big 12 Champ
4. Miami, ACC Champ

5. Texas, At-Large
6. Alabama, At-Large
7. Ole Miss, At-Large
8. Oregon, At-Large
9. Penn State, At-Large
10. Mizzou, At-Large
11. Tennessee, At-Large
12. Memphis, Highest-Ranked G5 Champion

With 5 spots going to conference champs, we will need to finish around where we currently are to make the playoffs.

There is a real possibility that we could finish ranked above the ACC, Big 12, and G5 champion, and still get left out.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

We would beat Penn State by three scores, in Happy Valley. Drew Allar would have nightmares about out defensive front for weeks.

I’d love to get them at home in the first round of the playoff. They are the notable exception to our dominance over Big Ten teams.

 

[hillsborovol]

Looks like we are closer to being #6 than we are to falling to #10.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Ole Miss doesn't have a tough game until October 12th. They may look pretty good, but boy are they playing some nobody's. Oregon and Penn State are both overrated. If we go into Norman and win then we're jumping up near the top 5.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

We are for sure better than Missouri, Oregon, and Penn State.

 

[Orange931]

The Gumps are not a Top 4 team.

 

[volbound1700]

I love that Alabama is still ranked high. In many ways, have your opponents ranked high is more helpful than your ranking because if you beat them, you get a big jump. Oklahoma didn't drop as well which was nice (they are overrated).

 

[TennCan]

Penn St should not be in the top 10. Oregon should not be in the top 15.

 

[VolTom1]

Oregon struggled with a bad Boise State team at home, and Idaho. If Tennessee did that we would have fallen out of the top 25.

 

[Boston Vol]

#7 in the AP poll

 

[knox73]

Oklahoma may struggle or lose to Tulane next week. Would love to see Boston College upset Missouri. Hope OU wins so Josh can curbstomp a ranked Oklahoma team in Norman.

Not sure I see us that low in SEC at large pecking order but I'll accept your low ball for now

 

[madbamahater]

Sorry but right now Tennessee is better than Oregon, Penn State, and Missouri

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Coaches poll is such a joke.

Think about it. I watched ball from noon until midnight yesterday Sometimes on multiple streams (up to 3). I should get a vote.

Coaches. They thought about and watched their own teams from sun up to sun down, reviewed the scores before they went to bed and voted. On what scores? Several of those teams just like last week are so over rated. As CJH would say….

It's pretty common knowledge that most coaches have a GA or other administrative underling fill out thier ballot. They take it almost as seriously as their "coaches show". Lol
