Your Personal Top Ten After Week 3

[bamaga]

Alabama stays solid, despite big shakeup in latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll

Alabama doesn’t move, but there are some big shakeups!

rolltidewire.usatoday.com

6 of the top 12 are SEC, 4 are SEC west. Kentucky and Baylor in the 20’s make 8 SEC teams in the top 25. Clemson at 2-2 and needing a great open field tackle from Skalski , or they would be 1-3 doesn’t belong. Sorry tiggers.

Georgia passed Bama in the ESPN S&P+ to #1. FWIW. there are also calls for Georgia to be #1 on Twitter. Mostly because they won a conference game 62-0. They beat the same Vandy team that was beaten by FCS ETSU 23-3. Georgia also beat a 2-2 Clemson team. A Clemson team that if they had a decent QB, would have won by 3 TDs
Bama has a lot if work to do, but I truly believe the team will improve every week . Next Saturday will be a big test and the best team that either Bama orGeorgia have played!

That kind of noise is healthy for a team. Only hearing that you cannot be beaten creates problems.

AP top 25. Clemson barely hanging on!

Quick question . . . Who had Arkansas preseason Top 10?

Note: if a mod wants to remove the phrase "after week 3," we can keep this as a running thread rather than have it every single week.

====================================

Two notes on my ratings: where it comes to the TOP of the rankings, a defending champion holds the position until that team is beaten REGARDLESS. Doesn't matter how good or bad they look, to BE the man you gotta BEAT the man. I was the same way in 2011 when it was clear Auburn was not near as good with Cam Newton as they were with him.

Teams 2-10 in my rankings are based on WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, not where I think they will finish in December. So I will ignore anyone who says, "Are you kidding, Oklahoma would ROLL Iowa!" because that's not what this is.

1) Alabama - defending champion has not lost and knocked off a highly touted foe.

2) Georgia - right now the eye test indisputably puts UGA and Alabama in the top two spots. The shine is off the Clemson win for UGA, all things being equal.

3) Oklahoma - for once they looked more like what you expect them to be

4) Cincinnati - won't stay here due to their schedule, but this is an odd year so far.

5) Iowa - next week's game with Penn State now looms large.

6) Penn State - I'm still not sold on them, but they have to be in the Top Ten - and because they beat Auburn, they do have to be higher than Ohio State for now.

7) Oregon - they're not this good, but they still have a win over Ohio State despite their other struggles. Yeah, it was a fluke, but they still won.

8) Ohio State - appears to be coming together a bit better; still "wait and see" with them.

9) Michigan - is going to lose at least three games, but they're one of the unbeatens right now.

10) Auburn - yeah, I know, weird isn't it? If you have a first-year coach and an iffy quarterback, nearly lose to a team you should blow out right after a close loss to a ranked team, and have the potential to gel at the right time - and your two biggest foes play in your pad - you absolutely must be Auburn. I fully expect them to beat Georgia next week, simply because I pay attention to trends. Georgia is undoubtedly more talented than Auburn, but do not be surprised if JHS Voodoo makes another appearance.

Total Transparency: Alabama, UGA, and tOSU are the only 3 teams in my list that I now have confidence in that they will be in the Top 4 of the 1st CFBP Rankings. I can see every one else taking losses between now and then.

1) Alabama - Defending Champs, Undefeated, (2) Top 15 Wins
2) UGA - Okay I'm taking them seriously now

3) Iowa - Not sure they belong this high but they look more trustworthy than others
4) PSU - Win over AU and will face tOSU next
5) Oklahoma - Don't trust them but can't put them lower yet

6) Cincy - I don't think they are real but they are Undefeated w/ a win over ND
7) Oregon - Threw up all over themselves but they also beat tOSU, so.....
8) tOSU - They look to be getting better and could run the table to the B1G CG

9) Michigan - Undefeated and have a showdown with MSU upcoming
10) BYU and Mich St - Others may be better but these 2 are undefeated and look decent

 

[colbysullivan]

Honestly it doesn’t matter right now. There’s only 2 teams even worthy of being in the top 10.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Your personal top 10 after week whatever. Sorry it took this long, been busy.


1) Georgia - quite frankly has to be.
2) Iowa - I guess their quality win is based on the assumption Penn State is good.
3) Oklahoma - doesn't look good but has played and beaten better teams than
4) Cincinnati - whatever
5) Alabama - close loss, beat Florida, who knows?
6) Oregon - you have to rate the higher than the Buckeyes, you just do even if....
7) Ohio State - the Oregon loss was clearly a fluke
8) Michigan - still don't believe, and they haven't beaten anyone worth a damn
9) Penn St - let the crying begin
10) Kentucky
11) Michigan St

 

[denver]

1) Georgia - by a long way ..their D is scary good and can win games on their own
2) Iowa - Laughing as I type..but who else? even though they are not that good
3) Ohio State - getting better and back to normal....will win the B10 at a jog
4) Oklahoma- painful but they are undefeated somehow...Rattler for Heisman
5) Alabama - Beat ourselves basically on the road at a tough house to play
6) Oregon - good win and bad loss...so 6th
7) Cincinnati- one ok win but I have a soft spot for the G5 so here they are
8) Ole Miss - a win vs a ranked opponent who hammered TX ( OU only good win) and one lost to then #1..a stretch but totally against ranking B10 teams who have played no one...cough...Michigan, MSU...
9) Penn St - we are.....on the usual freefall from the rankings.....
10) Kentucky - on a roll but are they real or lucky?

All I got is Georgia and OSU so far. Oh, and Bama in there too. Still working on it.

Georgia and Oklahoma State, 1 and 2?

 

[twofbyc]

New scenario-
Bama wins out, beats Dawgs in SECCG
OSU beats unbeaten Iowa on last second fg
Okie wins out.
Does unbeaten Cincy make playoffs? If so, who do they beat out?

It's almost a lock that the three P5 conference champs go, even though just one (OK) would be unbeaten. That last spot would be anybody's guess between Georgia, Iowa and Cincy.
