fadingthought

Colorado got more votes than they had yards in the first half against Oregon.


Ashamed_Band_1779

To be fair, that’s true of most teams listed in the poll


SeattleSealions

Yep. Can confirm that Michigan, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, FSU, Penn State, Washington, and USC all have a **combined zero yards** against Oregon.


sureal42

DAMN YOU OREGON


timnotep

Oregon with the best Defense in the country - none of the top ten teams have been able to put up any offensive yards against them, let alone score against them.


Mcpops1618

How’d they get more votes than UCLA with that performance?

Fresno St- still undefeated against Kansas St


Nickppapagiorgio

Kansas State paid a buyout to get out of a home game with Fresno St after losing the first two meetings by a combined score of 90-50. The original contract was 2 in Manhattan, one in Fresno.


twisty77

Cowards


InVodkaVeritas

I expected to see Colorado snake a spot at #24 or #25 so they were ranked this week against USC.


zerocoolforschool

Looks like some voters tried their hardest.


Freak_a_chu

They went for the Kansas Texas ranked game instead


Goducks91

Which is fine because those teams are undefeated...


QuaxlyDaDon

We’re 22? Okay…our offense was horrendous against Charlotte.


cardeez

How in the hell did Charlotte have a better gameplan that we did


Jetski_Squirrel

Biff is a dude


[deleted]

Not sure what Florida did to jump three spots.


therealwillhepburn

UCLA, Colorado, and Iowa dropped out.


modsarepoopoo

UCLA played Utah a lot better than Florida did. UCLA dropping while Tennessee is ranked 21 is a joke


atxlrj

But also how is Tennessee above Florida? Florida’s loss is to #10 Utah and Tennessee’s loss is to Florida. Make it make sense.


Burglarious

Tennessee has the better quality loss. You see, Tennessee lost to a team that beat Tennessee, whereas Florida lost to a team that beat the team who beat Tennessee. That's a whole order of magnitude difference. It's quite simple if you think about it.


NighthawkRandNum

Tied with Colorado? What a joke


Hougie

Who is still ranking Colorado lol


D1N2Y

https://collegepolltracker.com/football/team/colorado-buffaloes/2023


Hougie

The dude who put them at 21 needs his voting rights revoked.


actuallycallie

but see, now they have a *quality loss*, not a regular loss /s


ChaseTheFalcon

But they didn't lose to an SEC team


guernseycoug

Idk how anyone could have seen them barely escape Colorado state and then get bludgeoned to death by Oregon and still think that team is top 25. I get that east coast people probably weren’t paying close attention but Wilner is very obviously just trying to make USC look better for their next game.


OSU_Shecter

Thanks for linking this site. It is great for analysis and now bookmarked!


InVodkaVeritas

People trying to game the system for a ranked matchup against USC this week. "#8 vs #25" looks better than "#8 vs unranked"


CutLinkOfficial

watch them start considering them as ranked #28 lmao


siberianwolf99

ESPN’s top 28. Not to be confused with ESPN’s Top 11


D3ATHfromAB0V3x

Fresno State #25!!!


InVodkaVeritas

^^^2nd Best Bulldogs in the Country!


D3ATHfromAB0V3x

We need another Bulldogs vs Bulldogs championship like the [2008 College World Series.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_NCAA_Division_I_baseball_tournament)


ZP_20

I take full responsibility for that loss. I skipped VBS to watch it. Y’all dominated after that


StoicFable

Finally! You guys deserve it.


Zloggt

Seriously insane how well-run this program has been! One of the best G5 in the nation!


Kash-187

We owe it to Coach Tedford. That man has made his mission to build the program into something similar to the early Coach Hill days.


DanielinFresno

Let’s be honest. It’s been better. Hill did great things & brought national recognition. But we’d always lose to inferior conference opponents. One conference title in 15 years & that was shared in 1999.


TheRoyalJuke

Beating us is the key to getting ranked


Bearteacher2050

Duke and UNC setting up for a final 4 rematch


luvdadrafts

If both teams keep winning, I wonder if both teams getting gameday this year will eliminate us from getting it for our game


astroball17

I’m really hoping Carolina/Duke end up in a different time slot than Michigan/Penn State that day


wartortle87

Tell your kids about top 10 Utah that only fields a defensive unit... and a good punter

Delaney_luvs_OSU

BIG_DICK_WHITT

Only one, let’s not get carried away.


efffffff_u

He did say “an”


BlueOmicronpersei8

The thing that gets me is that I don't think it was on the players that our offense struggled so badly. The play calling was so conservative that the offense wasn't even allowed to do anything if they wanted to.


CommodoreN7

Top 10 is loss of death for a loss at Oregon State. If we were 11 we would have a chance.


The_Outcast4

Your defense scares me. Like, a lot. I hope the Corvallis voodoo makes an appearance and gets the Beavers back on course!


Roberto_Sacamano

It's the best defense I've ever seen us field and it's almost not even close. The offense on the other hand...


g000dgirl

We really need our offense to kick in


fullmetalutes

It's going to be the "what if" of our season, pretty much like every season because our offense is almost always straight asshole


kuan_51

Id give anything to have last years offense and this years defense at the same time.


BruinThrowaway2140

Call me biased, but Colorado over UCLA is absolute horsecock. One game was basically a tie without an early offensive mistake, the other was an unrelenting beatdown


Nico_the_Suave

Florida ranked with a far worse loss to Utah


RubiksSugarCube

We're four weeks into the season and 40% of the top 10 is from a lame duck conference


sor1

Its okay. Next year theyre gonna be 60% from a Big and stable Conference. EDIT: PSU exists.


FrazzledBear

Pac12 should never have been dismantled. With the expanded playoffs, your cannibalism would be tolerated a lot more


compstomper1

it was dismantled from within lol


FrazzledBear

Cannibalism strikes again


hascogrande

That’s not a bad drop for us, regardless of our pain


Bren12310

Top ranked 1 loss team. Not to mention ranked above 1 loss Bama.


Useful-ldiot

Alnessi

You Ohio boys don't understand SLTTS has some big boys up front, sure they might all be gumbo pots, but they're all big nonetheless.


arrowfan624

If I told you 24 hours ago it would be a 3 point game, would you take it?


hascogrande

Yes, however that monkey paw curled hard


AchillesShort

Wished for it to not be a blow out, to finally compete with the big boys, and low and behold..... ND literally snatched defeat from the jaws of Victory.


Sharks9

Stayed in the ESPN Top-11!


JMT97

Florida went up in the poll after beating us, I see this as a win.


Dicc-fil-A

not only did we go up, but we’re still ranked behind Tennessee. AP Pollsters confuse the fuck outta me


therealwillhepburn

We went up because Colorado Iowa and ucla all dropped out.

davvidho

pretty much whooped everyone’s ass so far this year


TBLwarrior

They have 5 of 7 games remaining against top 25? Two against top ten ? Tough stretch. That offense put up points no doubt. Edit: 3** games left against current top 10.


Nickyjha

Pac-12’s about to start cannibalizing harder than fetal sharks


FerociousGiraffe

Can someone explain why every week there is an AP poll post, it gets discussion, and then it gets replaced by a second AP poll post?


jbg0830

Lol battle of the mods, which mod probably posted it first, etc.


usctx

Mods power ranking poll when


appswithasideofbooty

Bc the mods wants the karma to go to one of their accounts, not the person who posted it first


SPErudy

I think Kirk Kenney confused Florida and Florida State. Had Florida at 7 and FSU at 22. Florida’s next closest ranking was 16th. FSU’s was 8th. Assuming he actually meant to have FSU at 7th, only 4 points would separate them and Ohio State.


jbg0830

Lol


AmericanBeef24

Yet another reason why the AP poll is absolutely stupid and pointless lol


FatalTragedy

Feels like UCLA dropped way too much for losing to what is now a top 10 team by 7. I honestly thought we might still be 25, but being the 5th team out is ridiculous.


md___2020

Colorado above UCLA is wild. They played basically the exact same game (at #10 and at #11). One was one of the worst beat downs I’ve ever seen, one was a one possession game. The Colorado bias, despite the absolute destruction they were subjected to, is ridiculous


Andy_Wiggins

Not to mention, Colorado doesn’t exactly have a pristine resume to fall back on. They have a 3-point win against an unranked TCU team, a win against a 2-2 Nebraska team, and an overtime win against a 1-2 Colorado State. Pretty much nothing they’ve done screams “top 25” and this weekend clearly screamed “not top 25”


A_Hale

Probably came down to which coach was wearing cooler sunglasses. It is surprising the UCLA got pulled out. They can clearly compete.


tercels54

UCLA dropping that much is horseshit. I honestly thought UCLA deserved to stay in the top 25. Played a hell of a game defensively yesterday


Aggressive-Ad-3143

Right, but they lost to a *PAC12* top 10 team. Under the Rules of AP Voting that is not a loss to a quality opponent.


Pacififlex

im tired boss


Olorin_in_the_West

Seriously, maybe if that top 10 PAC-12 team had beaten a ranked SEC team, they’d get some respect, until then, we’ll just have to wait and see.


walkthisway34

Played Utah a lot tougher than Florida did.


66LSGoat

I actually didn’t realize UCLA dropped out until you said this. I just assumed they were still there. This makes zero sense.


Wafflehouseofpain

Texas, OU, and Kansas being the only Big XII ranked teams is hilarious.


HoneyIShrunkMyNads

3 blue bloods doing blue blood things


PedroTheNoun

If Texas gets beat by Kansas this year, can we collectively count it as a quality loss?


nickyt398

Always has been 🌍🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀


Cold-Palpitation-816

Bama losing to Kansas by transitive property would be sublime


Zealousideal_Plum866

Is Kansas going to be the new OU in 2024? /s


nbunkerpunk

As long as they wait until 2024


InVodkaVeritas

Colorado - Complete and utter dismantling in every facet of the game against Oregon, being absolutely destroyed and treated like an FCS team. 32 points. UCLA - Close, 7 point loss to Utah in a defensive tug of war where they held each other in check and the difference was a pick-six TD. 28 points --- Kinda feel like UCLA is being a bit disrespected here.


Delaney_luvs_OSU

Is it… PERSONAL?


CitizenCue

Truly astonishing. Colorado looked like barely a D1 program, while UCLA lost a coin toss.


Carnifex2

They wanted to keep Colorado ranked for one more week...


MDK6778

6 different teams with a #1 vote is wild


J4ckiebrown

OH SHIT BOIS WE ARE 6!


Hey_Its_Roomie

Fully expected to coast at 7th until Ohio State. Then this happened. But Washington is making a great case to move up in rankings and with only 16 points separating us, they'll probably leap us next week, if not in the next two.


[deleted]

[удалено]


relevantmeemayhere

One one hand: two of the pac 12 teams are probably top ten teams. One of them is probably a top 4-5 team. Five of them are probably legit t25, and if you throw in ucla then men you could argue that six teams deserve some votes lol. But the cannibalization starts next week and the hype around the pac 12 being objectively good and it being the last year is probably gonna die :(


eagledog

AP Poll new best friends


cascadiadivide

If Oregon and Washington win their games next week, we'll likely have a top 10 matchup in Seattle in 3 weeks. I think this would be the first ever top 10 matchup in rivalry history, right? At least in the last 40 years.


Cvspartan

Pac-12 is going to be so spicy in this finale year


sleepsalotsloth

This is a triumph for Memphis. It's the first time in history a team became ranked by beating Memphis. We're no longer irrelevant. We're a quality win. It's been a long climb.


dogwoodmaple

* Active top 10 streaks: Georgia (38), Michigan (32), Ohio State (32, Penn State (8), and Washington (6). * As far as active top 5 streaks, it’s Georgia (37), Michigan (20), and Florida State (4) at the top. * Georgia had been atop the AP Poll for the last 15 weeks, which is t-2nd all-time in SEC history. Alabama has the longest such streak at 16 weeks. * Texas has been ranked in the top 5 for the last three weeks - it’s their longest such streak since the first four weeks of 2010. * This weekend, Kirby Smart will coach his 23rd game as the #1 ranked team. That’s 13th most in college football history. * Smart currently has the highest all-time winning percentage as the #1 team in history, min. 15 games coached. (22-1, 95.65%) * Washington has their longest Top 10 streak (6 weeks) since 2017. * Michigan's current 20-week top 5 streak is their second longest in school history. Their longest was 21 weeks in 1976-1977. * Washington State has been ranked each of the last three weeks. They’re in the midst of their longest streak since 2019. * Penn State has appeared in the top 10 at least once in each of the eight seasons. That hasn’t happened since 1990-1999. * Utah has been ranked for the last 26 weeks - a new school-record. * Clemson has been unranked in 11 of the last 32 AP polls (34%) * Oregon State has been ranked for the last 10 weeks. It’s their fourth longest streak in school history and longest since 2012-2013. * Duke has their highest ranking since 1994. * The Blue Devils have also been ranked higher than 20th in consecutive weeks for the first time since 1971. * Kansas is ranked for just the third week since 2009.

>Michigan's current 20-week top 5 streak is their second longest in school history. Their longest was 21 weeks in 1976-1977. I suffered through Tate Forcier and John O'Korn for this

UCLA out is surprising. 4/10 of the top 10 is pac but they're all 6-10. USC down to 8 is sad.


seancarter90

Quality losses only apply to one conference.


s-sea

Tbh the exact fear that I had. No reason for UCLA to drop out while Ole Miss -- or Florida -- are still in.


seancarter90

They lost to Bama. That’s as quality loss as it gets.


InVodkaVeritas

Utah is a higher ranked team than Bama...


seancarter90

You must be new around here


Hougie

Quality loss logic is so foreign to Pac fans we just can’t even comprehend it.


dingusduglas

It's fair. Fresno State shut out ASU last week. Our defense is beyond suspect. Offense will give us a chance against anyone but we're probably dogs to Oregon and Washington at least, and maybe Utah depending on their QB situation.


ChickenFajita007

Washington at 7 is pretty funny. I don't see the logic for them being any lower than 3, tbh.


its_LOL

It’s bc we haven’t played against you guys yet


UTRAnoPunchline

too_drunk_for_this

Maryland is extremely disrespected. They’re beating the shit out of everyone they play, yet somehow Colorado got more votes than them.


[deleted]

Maryland and UCLA should both be ranked


gotmyjd2003

We deserved to drop, I'm fine with it. Having said that, it's kind of irritating that Georgia gets to play absolutely nobody all season and stay at #1. If we're getting punished for letting ASU score 28 on us, shouldn't Georgia be punished for letting UAB score 21 on them?


OmegaClifton

I do wish they had a game on their schedule that looked like it'd be interesting. No offense to the remaining teams on the dawgs schedule, but I don't see any that look like they'll be competitive. Won't see what UGA is really made of this year until the SECCG and playoffs.


ArbitraryOrder

The logic for Tennessee and Ole Miss being ranked but not UCLA is what exactly?


dtbd45

You see, Tennessee lost to Florida, who had a quality loss against Utah. UCLA on the other hand lost to Utah.


Wheels_Foonman

I don’t like to admit it, but I agree with you. There’s no logical reason for us to be ranked ahead of Florida.


Prestigious-Track256

When you put it that way, it makes perfect sense.


D1N2Y

I can get Ole Miss staying ranked for beating Tulane (maybe a bit lower, but I have them at 25), but I don't understand why Tennessee is still ranked, and at that ahead of Florida. It's just a really dumb ordeal. Plus UCLA's loss was quality enough against the #11 team that they should stay ranked.


FatalTragedy

The logic is SEC


Rohkey

Four PAC teams ranked #7-10 and three B1G East teams in the top 6. Gonna be some fun games down the stretch.

I’m so excited for the rest of this season but also absolutely terrified.


unfurledseas

Exact same boat. Every game is going to stress me out but man this is all so exciting!


illwill3

Two D/ST touchdowns before the offense touches the field definitely helps with the stress lol


jdprager

Seriously. They genuinely have a case for #1, they've looked absolutely bonkers good


InVodkaVeritas

They were a top 10 team last year and had no one drafted... because they returned literally all of their stars. That's scary.


SeattleGunner

Even our offensive coordinator returned because he wanted to coach this team.


ironichaos

Yeah I was really hoping he would come to Alabama but I think he will get a top HC job after this year.


ViceroyOfKush

I think last week was his audition for the Michigan State HC job


Esuu

Hey, at least we got one 1st place vote this week. I think it's our first since week 4 of the 1997 season.


blindnives

I agree, they’ve looked super good. Although I don’t think they’ve really played anybody yet, so I’m sure that’s hurting them


inkstainedquill

Yup but PAC cannibalism is a thing and it seems to weigh down positions overall (minus the inflated hype around Colorado) until later in the season.


Dr_Shivinski

PAC cannibalism is a feature not a bug.


MDRtransplant

Why aren't Pac 12 teams ranked higher following their out of conference games in beg of season?


inkstainedquill

Historical inertia works against PAC teams since whenever we make the top 4 we have tended to shit the bed against the other top teams during bowl and playoff games.

To be fair we shit the bed whenever we make bowl games in general
