Yeah, not sure where they fall. No "others receiving votes" section that I could see.

8 SEC teams in the top 25. Great way to build up that conference. No matter who beats who someone is guaranteed to remain ranked.

 

I have a feeling that this may be another year that the SEC takes a step back compared to the rest of college football.

Hmm.... where'd you find that?

Florida number 27 after going 4-8 last year. Laughable. There are a lot of matchups with ranked teams in the early weeks, and the teams ahead of Miami receiving votes also have tough games. If Miami is 3-0 going into our game they will be ranked just barely. Probably around #23 or 24 unless they blow of Louisville. If we take care of business in good fashion we should be around #15 at that time. I don't think it matters where the ranking are, if we are both 3-0 gameday will be here.

What we really need is Wisconsin and Michigan State to beat LSU and Oregon, respectively.

 

Then when Miami shows up, beat them thoroughly.

Seems about right. The only teams I'd say we should be ahead of are Kansas State and TAMU. Don't know how either one of them is ranked ahead of us, but whatever. It's not gonna matter in a few weeks, anyway.

Bucky's gonna get skull drug by LSU. It's going to be the "Ehrmahgerd Lernerd Fernert!!" party.

B1G West:

#14 - Wisconsin

#22 - Nebraska

#30 - Iowa

#43 - Northwestern

 

 

Not sure if that's truely how good each team is but that doesn't look like a "dominant" East Division to me, especially with Maryland and Rutgers in the East and Minnesota in the West. Better? Yes. Top Heavy? I'd say. Dominant? Doesn't appear that way to me.

I don't think so. Most of the matchups ahead of us aren't going to fall out of the top 25 with a loss.

 

Wisconsin/LSU - not going to fall 11 spots w/ loss to LSU.

A&M/S. Carolina - possibly fall out, but not below Miami when losing to #9.

Clemson/Georgia - won't drop 9 spots by losing to top 10 team.

USC/Stanford - neither will drop out unless USC gets blown away. 10 is too far to fall

MSU/Oregon - little chance they fall past #15ish

Georgia/S. Carolina - depending on if Georgia beats Clemson, they wont' be falling out of top 15 with a loss here. 2nd loss they will drop out though.

 

That's pretty much the totality of the marque match ups early. Michigan will lose to ND and drop down pretty far. Texas losing to UCLA will push them below Miami.

 

There might be a few more....but 14 spots is a long ways to move when most teams are playing cupcakes early. I'd say they are sitting at 30ish when we play them. But crazier things have happened.
