Still #16......

Re-watching the game, that's about where we need to be. Tulane did more to hurt their cause than we did to help ours.

And why do you feel that way about us? Do you think Bama fans think they should be #16 after struggling with MTSU? öööö no, they want to be top 5.

I don't get this "Where we should be" attitude of Tech fans. We SHOULD be top öööö 5 until proven otherwise.

Polls are worthless until everyone has played 4 or 5 games. No need getting worked up about them.

Working your way up a poll is difficult. It is why we had to share a title in 1990. Early season polls are hardly worthless.

+1

They should be worthless but they end up having a lot of influence.

Arguing against that is sorta like saying the down payment on your house is worthless until you are 4-5 years into your mortgage. The factory reputation polls give those factories instant equity.

No no no, I read on the Internet that the playoff selection committee was instructed not to let other polls influence their rankings. They were instructed!

In that case there are like twenty teams who SHOULD be top öööö five. Hard for me to get upset that we're not.

As for Bama fans...well, we're not Bama yet. Maybe in a few years.

There should be because math /JJacket

Don't be stupid, man. It's not sissy to honestly assess the play on the field and see that we're making errors that would lead to losses against better teams. No, I don't think auburn is one of them.

I don't give a flying frog's öööö about twenty other teams. I care about our team. It bothers me that you assholes accept a mediocre ranking like we öööö deserve it or something. Good lord you are a bunch of sissies. We deserve top 5. Hell, I would rank us #1 until we lose if it were me.

And stop that "we aren't Bama" whiney öööö. Bama struggled yesterday. We would have beaten them. Get over your öööö self already.

Have you seen the teams above us? Are they world beaters? Would lead to other losses? Maybe. We gotta line it up and play them first. As it sits, we are averaging 67 points a game. Auburn ain't doing that. Ugag ain't doing that. FSU looks like crap.

You may not, but the people making the polls kind of have to care about twenty other teams. Otherwise we'd have a poll with 21 teams tied for #1.

Again, I don't care for the other people making the polls. I have a problem with those of you that support a poll that doesn't even drop a mediocre SEC West team or a mediocre SEC East team below us. Especially since we beat one of those teams at the end of last season and they are obviously worse this year.

I get tired of you guys saying we deserve to be ranked low.
 
Rankings are for losers. I'll make the bold prediction that if we win every game left, every ranking will have us #1.

(Obviously the final CFP rankings matter, and for recruiting and game hype and all that during the year. I just think it's funny to complain about near-preseason rankings.)
