Who's the #1 Team in College Football? (Week 7 Poll)

[LordJeffBuck]

Who's #1 this week?

 

[MaxBuck]

I never before thought I'd rank two teams from Mississippi as the best two in the nation, but right now I'd do just that.

 

[BuckeyeFan 52]

I think Miss St. deserves the #1 rank today. Looking at total body of work. Auburn shit the bed yesterday, but Miss St. plays very solid defense, and appears to be well rounded. Gotta give it to them.

Mississippi State..written in disappearing ink I'm afraid their time will come.

I went with FSU. They're the defending champions and have won 22 in a row. Ole Miss-Miss State will play each other eventually and FSU-ND play Saturday, so things will begin to sort themselves out.

free shoes may be the best team, but I refuse to vote for them on principle.

I've been quite unimpressed with FSU, though ND has been even less inspiring. I've seen better much football out of the state of Mississippi.

I know what you mean, but at the same time I keep hearing how MSU "beat 3 top ten teams" when LSU has demonstrated they were overrated in the first place. TaM is in the process of doing the same thing. Then there are Alabama and Arkansas - do the Tide look like a top ten team?

So just how "impressive" are the schools from Mississippi? They lost 5 and 6 games last year, respectively - did they improve that dramatically? Maybe. I'll stick with the defending champs - who still haven't lost - for now.

A quality rebuttal, as the first two look like garbage and Kiffin is doing a spectacular job of dragging the tide down.

I don't mind giving the champs the benefit of the doubt in such a bad year but I have no confidence in them winning a playoff against quality opponents. I do have confidence in them trashing a very flawed Domer team, especially with their defiant usage of Crab Legs.

 

[matcar]

Really seems like a year with several good teams, but unsure if there are any great teams. Guess we will see what happens at the end of November to help sort this out.

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

Voted Miss St. I went with Oregon then Auburn and we see how that has worked out.

 

[Taosman]

Chaos Theory. Both Mississippi teams are impressive for god's sake! How does that happen in a normal 'verse? Oh, yes. It's having a good "bagman"! One could win the whole thing and go on probation the next year.
And get this. Apparently the Selection Committee isn't agreeing on how to select teams. Ha!

i would vote miss st.

going to be an interesting playoffs.

i don't see any SEC team being undefeated.

you may end up with an SEC conference champion having 2 losses even like LSU that year against us.

it would be huge if we could get the 12PAC champ to have 2 losses as well.


we win out and win big doing so with JT having a monster year and we will be in the playoffs I think. going to be tough for any big10 team, but our early loss with a young qb will be long gone by then and we would be one of the nation's hottest teams. gonna need a 2 loss conference champ, maybe 2 of them for it to happen.

 

[cincibuck]

So how do we get two SEC teams in the finals if the two best are from the same division? You don't. How do you put a Big 12 team or ND in ahead of a team that had to play a CCG?

The CCG - in my mind a flawed (read fucked) idea to make money for TV and institutional fat cats - presumes that a conference's first and second best teams will meet in the CCG. That's something that has only happened once, maybe twice, in the Big Ten, seldom if ever in the ACC and PAC and can't possibly happen in the SEC this year. And then there's the real big ten calling itself XII, who probably just had their CCG when Baylor eked out a victory over TCU and Oklahoma discovered they didn't have an offense.

Begin by ending CCGs, force ND to pick a conference and play in it or stay the fuck out of the playoffs, take the top sixteen teams and seed the top four by region, place the bowl playoffs around the nation, rotate the site of the NCG between LA, Chicago, Miami and NYC.

Never gonna happen.

The only way college football unfucks itself is if the NCAA takes over full administration of its postseason - ala NCAA Basketball - and determines a champion on the field. The NCAA will never force a school to pick or align itself with a conference either.
