Final AP Poll

Here's some logic...

Tech wins 6 of the last 7, including 4 straight wins to finish the season that highlighted a comfortable win against final ranked #16 Virginia Tech at their place, and two 'SEC' schools that both made bowls. 9-4 overall. Not ranked.

San Diego State..... (no comment). Ranked #25.

Auburn loses 3 of the last 4, incl. getting murdered by Alabama & Oklahoma (which proves they cannot hang with the big boys) and a loss to a mediocre UGA team. 8-5 overall. Ranked #24.

Utah: opponents that they beat had a combined record of 49-66. Of those wins, opponents included the Southern Utah Thunderbolts and San Jose State. 9-4 overall. Ranked #23.

Tennessee second half of the season: killed by Bama, lost to South Carolina (6-7 final record), lost to Vanderbilt (6-7 final record), and finally their 4 wins include a FCS opponent, Kentucky (7-6), Missouri (4-8), and a decent win against Nebraska. 9-4 overall. Ranked #22.

Louisville fell apart at the end of the season losing three straight: destroyed by Houston and LSU, and lost to a 7-6 Kentucky team. 9-4 overall. Ranked #21.

Theories: SEC, Lamar Jackson hype, and AP hating GT and the option....

Even though I didn't think we'd make it into the poll anyway, since they put us at 27th and it's the first day of a long offseason, let's look at this.

#22 Tennessee was ranked 9th back in October when they lost to Texas A&M and despite the loss managed to stay ranked 9th the following week before getting BTFO by Alabama. That loss knocked them down to 18th and they didn't fall out of the poll until the following week when they lost to an awful South Carolina. They had only managed to claw their way back to 24th right before Vanderbilt beat them by 11.

#24 Auburn lost three of their last four games, with their only win in that period against Alabama A&M. The first loss was to a mediocre Georgia which we beat. The other two were blowout losses to Alabama and Oklahoma.

#25 San Diego State lost two games in November, one to Wyoming which knocked them out of the polls from 24th, followed by a blowout loss to Colorado State, mediocre teams from a garbage conference. They managed to win the rematch with Wyoming in the vaunted MWCC and beat Houston in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Georgia Tech and Kansas State won the final four games of their seasons and both teams defeated SEC schools in their bowl games.

Thanks for adding Louisville and Utah, I guess? I have to give the edge to my analysis though since I delved p deep into SDSU and you couldn't even be bothered to remark on them.

Wasn't trying to compete on analysis............ Just adding an overall commentary from my standpoint on the ridiculousness of #21-25 ranked teams.

Bullshit, you outright stole my intellectual property is what you did. What you didn't realize is that within the analysis itself I hid markers which only I know, just in case someone like you tried to take it, twist it a little and call it their own. Delete your post immediately or I call the police, your choice.

So, Florida's 9-4 is worthy of a #14 ranking and Georgia Tech's 9-4 cannot crack the top 25.

Can somebody 'splain?

...and 8-5 Auburn in over GT is criminal.

The only real way to judge a team is how they perform in a losing effort against SEC teams. Florida and Auburn got their asses kicked by some of them and we squandered the opportunity to be properly analyzed by the media when we pounded our SEC opponents into the dirt. Our fault, and we'll probably öööö it up again next year by smashing Tennessee's face in.

You better escalate this to Beestorm. Maybe give him an ultimatum and demand a public apology.

They pay a lot of attention to the recruiting rankings, obviously.

uGA is a top program, therefore if they recruit you, your recruit rating is higher.
uGA has higher recruit rankings, therefore uGA is a top program.

It's astronomical how many logical fallacies exist in College Football just to fit a narrative.
 
We deserved to be ranked in the top 25. No bad losses - to #1,20,31 and 39, with a win over #16 and three other SEC wins.

I dunno, I don't know stingtalk memes anymore. At some point when I wasn't coming around some dudes went full retard for good and that's always been boring. A lot of people did that the moment Gailey got hired and for a long time this board sucked major balls for and I don't know why some of us kept coming around. I don't know why I'm still coming here. I should probably quit let's quit we should all quit forever
 
FWIW, Sagarin has Tech finishing at #23 using his formula. He has a "Recent" calculation that weights more recent results more highly that puts Tech at #20.

I would be pissed about this except LSU voluntarily gave up a game with a creampuff to make up their game with Florida (which they won). With the creampuff they would be 9-4. Auburn is what pisses me off. They don't deserve to be there.

This board would literally just be me posting 'lol' and 'ded' about 50 times in each game thread. Not because I'd be coming around here anymore, but because I have that automated now and I'm too lazy to stop it.
