2024 College Football Polls

This weeks SEC SEC SEC! poll shenanigans

Missouri hangs clings into the top 25 still at #25, even though their 2 losses are by a combined 65 points and they have no wins that anywhere near make up for that

Vandy fell 1 SPOT to the first in "receiving votes" after falling to 5-3 (one of those losses being to 2-5 Georgia State) Meaning they will be right back in the top 25 if they beat 3-5 Auburn on Saturday

Pathetic schedule

Pathetic schedule

Impressive 1 score wins over Vandy, 3-5 Auburn & 4-4 Boston College (BUT BUT THEY WERE RANKED AT THE TIME!)

The sad thing is Mizzou could still realistically finish 10-2 because the rest of their schedule is that meh.

Yes, but the Bucks hang on to the important 4 slot while the Pedsters slide into the three. TV LOVES a match up of top 5 teams regardless of what it takes to make it happen.

Speaking of schedules - In August I felt good about playing IU a week before Michigan. Funny how that's changed.

Imagine Indiana coming to the shoe in November undefeated. Did anyone see that coming?

I don't know about these projections that still have us at something like 90%. We need to run the table to get to Indy, and without that extra data point, it's going to be hard to break into a very crowded field that might include 2 G5s.

Ahead of us would probably be:
3 B1G
4 SEC
2 ACC
1 B12
and 1 or 2 G5 and/or ND

With an 18 team, no-divisions league, even one loss in conference, and a team is going to be relying on tiebreakers to get to Indy.

And ND's schedule is front loaded unless USC suddenly turns good.
