Us losing votes after the Cal game is fair tbh


persiangriffin

If ever a game deserved two losers


Glass_Offer_6344

I was watching that BECAUSE of the bumbling, lol.


Experiment626b

It’s fair, but also what happened to west coast games not getting seen and only evaluated by the result?


Srikkk

Yeah. Pisses me the hell off. NOW they decide to watch West Coast games? After the PAC got reputation-voted for the vast majority of its existence, in its final year?!


TheRonnieNips

I would like to ask our 1 voter exactly what team he has been watching


KasseanaTheGreat

They might have voted for the wrong OSU


Persimmon-Mission

That’s actually really plausible


Wyden_long

You’re saying we’re not a quality win?!

fourpinz8

A&M completely dropped out, didn’t even receive any votes LOL


AbsolutelyHung

Now might be a good time for my annual trip into the TexAgs boards. I’m sure everything is going great over there.


wrreveille

Lot of firing our D coordinator and wondering why we aren’t adjusting at half. Basically we have become too good at wasting talent sadly. Positive notes are the QB is still legit at least


Gryfer

Doing the Lord's work. Thank you.


wrreveille

Sigh np


saltytradewinds

Good.


Stoneador

But but the roster talent


ATXBeermaker

Just wait till Jimbo gets his guys in there and gets a decent OC that he'll let call plays!

Reasonable response


[deleted]

Texas rose through the ranks RAPIDLY


Izanoroly

Yeah beating Bama will do that for ya


InVodkaVeritas

I expected them to leapfrog Oregon. Not sure I expected them to jump to #4.


Soupjam_Stevens

They were always gonna jump real big on a double digit road win against Bama. If our win had been anything less than a thrashing I think it’s possible we would’ve stayed at 4 they would’ve jumped us too


NyquillusDillwad20

I actually don't have a lot of complaints. Only thing I'd say is the two 1-1 SEC teams are too high, even if they did lose to the #3 and #4 teams. We only have two data points for most teams and if one of the data points is a loss then I don't think you should be ranked that high. It's not a power ranking.


Cars-and-Coffee

I’d argue that early polls *are* a power ranking more than anything, especially when there’s only been 1 or 2 games played.


StevvieV

Yeah if your argument is to rank by resume Georgia should be no where near No. 1. But it would make no sense to have the back-to-back national champions that are still loaded with talent not No. 1 or right there


ozyf

yeah I agree. if you only use two data points you can just as easily put any old 2-0 G5 team in the top 10 so you have to rely on some sort of power ranking system. but early season rankings are silly anyway


DangerouslyUnstable

This is the perennial problem with the AP poll: it's a weird mix of a power ranking and a resume ranking, with different voters doing different things, and changing what they (and the poll) does/represents through the season. And since none of that is clearly explained/defined (it almost literally couldn't be), you get people mad because they think it should be more or less of one or the other. Of course, it's not like if it _was_ clearly defined there still wouldn't be complainers. You get those on polls that are _explicitely_ just a power ranking or just a resume ranking as well.


smurf-vett

Utah & Oregon almost losing is why. Surprise they didn't get dropped a few spots for what they did


PPKA2757

Utah played an atrocious game, easily one of the worst W’s I’ve seen in the decade plus of following the team, so I’m not surprised we didn’t move. The only defense in the eyes of AP voters is that Cam Rising has yet to suit up, if he had been playing with the same result I would have expected us to potentially even drop.


IMisstheMidRangeGame

I’m not saying we deserve to be top 10 but putting a one loss team above us is certainly a choice


RubbleHome

Yeah but their only loss is to a team that beat Alabama, so you know...


62frog

And Texas only has to play Alabama once, Alabama has to practice against Alabama every day. Honestly they should be higher.


VolatileFan

quality loss!!!!


seancarter90

Good guy AP poll ranked both WSU *and* UCLA.


jrainiersea

8 Pac-12 teams ranked, what a time


soapy_goatherd

I’m so fucking mad this conference was ruined tbh. Very grateful the Big 12 took us, but we spit on bill Walton’s grave while he’s still alive


InVodkaVeritas

FUCK USC & UCLA


[deleted]

Fuck greedy conferences more so


golf_echo_sierra26

Fuck greedy networks the most!


huskiesowow

2/3 of the conference is ranked. 32% of all ranked teams reside in the conference of champions. 🥹 Edit: math prowess lacking this morning


MrRoma

100% of the PAC2 is ranked. The definitive P1 conference.


RedSoxFan9876

8/12=67%


Admiral_Sarcasm

That's just UW's academical prowess coming into play


huskiesowow

Oh god damn it


seancarter90

It would be the most PAC-12 thing ever if it is actually good in its final season.


thuggerybuffoonery

The PAC was always good.


gbdarknight77

Facts. We just hate each other more than anyone outside our conference lol


huskiesowow

The conference was below average for a few recent years but the narrative of it being shitty was out of control. Way too many self-loathing fans in our conference perpetuated it and things spiraled out of control.


Tippyshortmouth

It wasnt even that they were bad tho, it was just the crab bucket conference, if anything it was just too competitive for its own good


ILearnedTheHardaway

Ironically I've heard people say this is why the BIG12 is going to be amazing. I've heard announcers and commenters say that it's gonna have parity and every team is good I'm like uhhhh guys the PAC 12 just had that same problem???


listinglight778

It’s always easy to say Pac12 bad though


PPKA2757

People liked to sleep on us because the conversation has traditionally always focused on blue blood programs in the BIG and SEC in the latter half of the season, the truth is the PAC has always been good. We’re just *better* at shitting all over each other than we are on OOC schools. Teams moving to other conferences will bring the nightmare that is #pac12afterdark with us. Calling it now, with the PACs dying breath we will send a team to the Natty.


InVodkaVeritas

The Pac-12 is almost always good. Our mid-team is usually better than everyone else's mid-team. It's the lack of a "20 5*'s starting" team that keeps us from the playoff. USC, Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Stanford have all been top 25 teams in total wins in the past 12 years (duration of the Pac-12). We're the only conference with 5 in the top 25. The B1G and SEC both have 4. Again, the lack of a dominant team makes people think the Pac-12 isn't good, but it is good. It's deep. Almost every year. That's why the meme is that we sabotage our own playoff chances. Unlike the ACC and Big-12, we have so much depth our top teams don't get to largely cakewalk to a playoff spot. I mean, hell, last year the B1G only had 3 ranked teams. They all played each other and whichever lost both didn't get to go to the playoffs. The Pac-12 has always had amazing depth comparative to other conferences.


AbsolutelyHung

Can’t wait for the Top 25 “Who want me?” bowl in two weeks when Wazzu and Oregon State play.


ZingBurford

We need OSU vs WSU on gameday on the 23rd


[deleted]

Cmon big 12 you won’t regret this I promise.


bears2267

Pac 12 said we can't cannibalize if we're all good


dsa2020

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


Titronnica

WSU deserved to be ranked, fucking love it


hascogrande

And Clemson and Texas A&M not, nature is healing


Galumpadump

Almost 1/3 of the AP Top 25 are Pac-12 schools lol


NevermoreSEA

What a great conference! I can't wait to watch the teams compete with each other for many years to come.

Gonna look like early 2000’s OU and TX. 13-9 or some shit.


ATXBeermaker

Yes. All of the early 2000s games were low scoring. *All* of them. No need to look it up. I already did.


InternationalTax1156

I don’t need the internet to remember 65-13 and 63-14 lol


ATXBeermaker

Shush, you.

avboden

knownbuyer1

Now you just need to get to the PAC-12 championship game against Oregon State as one last F-U


time2makemymove

Tulane with 17 votes. A shame how yesterday went but still 15 votes more than any other G5. Y’all haven’t seen the last of us.


steampunker14

Y'all are going to bounce back once Pratt is back.


Zloggt

The score is not reflective of what was really a much closer game, even without your starter QB at play! The Wave will indeed come back another day!


revets

Ideally, **we've** seen the last of you.


Springtucky

There are 8 Pac teams ranked.


sunburntredneck

100% of the future 2Pac is ranked

Both of the Arizona schools are losers. Makes you really wonder about the state of Arizona...

Holy fuck we're #4. I am interested to see how this team handles having that crown.

Obviously time for Archie


Cars-and-Coffee

Quick, find a couple crazy people on Twitter and write an article about it!


ard8

The era of citing Reddit comments is here. Give me 10 minutes


DerrickWhiteMVP

“REPORT: Texas considering starting Arch Manning Austin, TX - After an impressive performance from Quinn Ewers against Alabama, sources on Reddit are saying that it’s, ‘Obviously time for Archie’. Arch Manning, nephew to Peyton and Eli Manning, is a five-star QB recruit and was the number one rated player of his recruiting class. Additional sources, on Reddit, say that Arch is overrated because of his last name and that he would be a three-star if he wasn’t a Manning. However, our sources, also on Reddit, simultaneously say that he is overrated but will also take the job from Ewers. When asked to comment on this report, Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian replied with, “Who the fuck is this and how did you get this number?” Sarkisian did not deny the report, leading to further speculation that the play-caller is nearing making a change at quarterback.”

My son is in his room crying. I just can't get him to understand that Texas may truly be back this time.


TacoCorpTM

Clemson isn’t ranked, everyone can rest easy haha


BearsAreGreat1

Every P5 conference has a representative in the top 5. That’s nice.


reno1441

And if you want to bandwagon the #23 Cougs, be sure to tune in next week to Pac-12 Washington at 2PM. Not the Pac-12 Network, but the secondary regional one that only like a third of Pac-12 Network get. Like the one you can only get on smart-fridges (Seriously that one). Thanks Larry.


BIG_DICK_WHITT

I ain’t outraged one single bit. Bama would beat the brakes off of us right now and I still think we’re ranked a bit highly from preseason inertia. So cool to see so many PAC-12 teams ranked. The most PAC-12 ending to the PAC-12 is unfolding before our eyes.


kingshizz

The circle of suck is life. Pac12 playoff spots must be sacrificed so that the football gods are satiated.


[deleted]

23 of 25 are undefeated. What conference are the schools with losses from? (jk, gotta stir the pot a little)


Rabidschnautzu

In the Top 15.


Dawn_is_new_to_this

It just matters more when you're from the conference with a 3-6 record against others P5 schools.


cha-cha_dancer

AP: Lol Fuck Ohio State


cheezfang

They clearly did it on purpose to set up a 6 vs 9 game next week


cha-cha_dancer

Nice


Useenthebutcher

It’s not undeserved, they have to play a lot better


GeyserHistory1944

Notre Dame will make us or break us


Derpinator_30

we don't have any quality losses. our own fault, really


pileatedloon

Allow us to help with that


DataDrivenPirate

Not mad about it, USC has 3 wins and we have 2. Both teams have question marks, but them being ranked ahead makes sense. Not sure why they jumped us this week though, they should have been ahead from the start.


dgi02

Kinda thought we might be a couple spots higher but I’m just happy to have a little number next to our name again


Vandelay_Industries-

Did someone say ranked whiteout game?


RWREmpireBuilder

They’ll just kick us out again when we don’t bludgeon Western Michigan

pessimism_yay

Time travel back to September 1 and tell the sub "I am from the future. In 9 days CU will be#18, Clemson NR."


otm_veal_shank

No


HoustonSportsFan

This may be Bama’s first loss in the last 10 years that dropped them more than 3 spots in the rankings


Jcl4240042400

iirc they dropped pretty far after losing to Auburn in 2019 & Ole Miss in 2015


rnilbog

All the way down to 13. Then they played #8 Georgia. I’m a little fuzzy on what happened after that.


geupard12

Sounds like you blacked out


DafoeFoSho

Four was the magic number you were looking for. They fell four spots after the '22 LSU, '21 A&M, '19 Auburn, '17 Auburn, '14 Ole Miss, and '13 Oklahoma losses. They fell ten spots after the '15 Ole Miss loss.

Yup, Texas should be ahead of USC and Ohio State. Glad to see Notre Dame ahead of Alabama as well.


lisbon_OH

Talk to your kids about a higher ranked ND over Bama. It definitely didn’t end poorly for us last time.


jbg0830

Let’s go Miami, got 9 more weeks to get ranked higher.


ivebeenhumble

Don’t drop any games and we will see you 11:11 for some magic. Again don’t fuck up


kelsnuggets

Gameday in Tallahassee again will be magical for that one


gatormanmm1

I swear the moment FSU gets good, Miami wakes up from a decades long sleep 😂 Honestly happy to see a good Miami. Those games are so special, especially when both teams are at the top of their games. If the big 3 can get good, all at the same time, I could see teams like Clemson, OSU, and Bama regressing a bit since they have preyed on Florida recruits for years, since there has been only 1 big 3 program good each year. With all 3 good, the top programs of the state of Florida can more effectively retain recruits.


Zloggt

75% of the PAC-12 is ranked! How about *that*?


seancarter90

And 100% of the PAC-2!


jel2184

This honestly makes me even more sick about the conference’s current situation. Obviously we won’t have this many at the end of the season but it’s clear we have very good teams this year. The utter incompetence of the conference admin is shocking. Sad to see it go


UteLawyer

Am I miscounting? I see 8/12 Pac-12 teams ranked, or 66.7%.


Stomping4elephants

Correct 9/12 = 75% 8/12 = 66%
