Do do we drop a spot? I'm sure Stanford will be ahead of us. I'm not saying they're wrong and obviously we have our work cut out for us over the next two games, but I'm starting to feel like a Big East champion BCS team.
Yep. We will. Stanford will jump us. Which wouldn't upset me if there weren't half of the SEC ahead of us.
Except the A&M game? That crap *** BIG 12 team that never accomplished anything. Well, except this year when they've shown that the SEC isn't that great at defense.
There is little chance that happens(KState will not drop to 8th) and if it does it will take care of itself over the next couple of weeks.
Its just that if you are in the SEC they matter a little more including your losses. It will be fun to watch FSU destroy Florida.
Thankfully this didn't happen. The polls are still ridiculously lopsided. They're rated high off what? Beating each other? A&M got knocked around year in and year out in the Big XII South (3 winning seasons out of the last 10 in the Big XII, only three winning), yet they're one of the best in the SEC. SEC gap ain't what it's cracked up to be.
The only way this can happen is if those teams haven't played many games between themselves. Now with 14 team conferences you'll start having teams missing out on playing several of the other top teams in the conference. Teams playing each other in conference really tells us nothing about how they stack up nationally. The only way to gauge a conference's strength is by looking at OOC games but with only three of these and with many teams playing such weak OOC schedules you can't really tell much from that. If the SEC has 6 of the top 7 teams all that can possibly say is that the conference schedules aligned in such a way that allowed these 6 teams to not beat up on each other. Or it says that the bottom tier of the conference is simply horrible which is true for this year's SEC.
