This Week's Polls...Up, Down or Stay the Same?

[True2tRA]

Buffalo and Tennesee Tech aren't patsies? Pretty simple huh? There are only a couple teams in the entire poll that didn't play patsies so I really can't even pry any sort of logic from your comment. Everyone plays patsies in the non con schedule.

[captain obvious]

It's OK. If we take care of business and beat UCLA next week then we should only drop to #25 in the poll.

i give up. i was trying to make a meme of the joker saying, 'it's simple. we, uh, beat the bruins.'

 

USE YOUR IMAGINATIONS, PEOPLE!!!

So unranked Miami beats 12 ranked Florida so Miami is instantly ranked 15 in the country? Yet, Florida loses to an unranked team and only falls to 18?

 

Baylor beats Buffalo. Wisconsin beats Tennessee Tech. Nebraska beats Southern Miss. Baylor and Wisconsin move up, Nebraska falls back? Add insult, Oklahoma beats and unranked West Virgina, only beats them by 5 points and they move up two spots?

 

I can't even begin to make any sense of this?

 

Nebraska, Baylor, and Wisconsin have all played garbage teams in both weeks. Nebraska struggled the first game and looked fine, but not great, against the worst team in FBS. Let's take a look at combined scores from the first two weeks.

 

Nebraska: 93-47

Wisconsin: 93-0

Baylor: 139-16

 

Look at the numbers and tell me the ranking between those 3 teams. The only thing that doesn't make sense is you not understanding Nebraska should be ranked worse out of those 3 teams.

Point taken dick.

Was he arguing that Nebraska shouldn't be ranked the worst?

 

I thought he was arguing that they shouldn't be the only one to move DOWN in the polls...

 

Wyoming has also proven that they could be decent for what they are....

Wisconsin--played the worst team in FBS and Tennessee Tech

Baylor--played FCS and Buffalo

Nebraska--played Wyoming and Southern Miss (which by the way we looked more than fine against the Golden Eagles)

 

Let's take a look at what those teams played in Week 1 did in Week 2.

 

Wyoming went on to beat Idaho 42-10

Wofford beat The Citadel 21-10

UMass lost to Maine 24-14.

 

Out of those teams, I'd say Wyoming looks the best.

 

Now how about the teams that were played in Week 2. How did they do in Week 1?

 

Tennessee Tech beat Cumberland (??) 63-7. Really impressive that the Badgers kept them off the board....

Southern Miss lost to Texas State 22-15. I'll argue that Texas State is a lot better than Cumberland.

Buffalo looked pretty good against Ohio State, losing 40-20.

 

Out of those teams, I'd say Buffalo looks the best (Baylor).

 

Considering the results the three teams put up against those teams, I'd go with:

 

Baylor

Wisconsin

Nebraska

 

But the gap between Wisconsin and Nebraska is very very small.

yeah, perhaps you're right. In some way, you can sort of view both of them the same, but I think the respective scores tell the same story. Looking at the scores, I can see why Nebraska has moved down (and thusly ranked the lowest), and why the other teams have moved up.

 

I don't really care about the polls at this point, but if you're going to analyze them, I think it makes sense that we have moved down the first two weeks and are ranked the lowest.

Texas still has votes...wtf?

[HuskerFowler]

But 15 in coaches poll

[Mavric]

I feel the same. New QB and he didn't do to well last night. I think 2 picks, but not sure.

And got yanked for the Bell-dozer to put the game away.
