They were #6 in both polls last week too.

Really?

Really?

I believe ESPN had it misreported for a bit. That’s where I was getting it from.

 

[PennState_one]

Either way, the only poll that matters hasn't came out yet. Just win baby 😉😁

Texas almost #2 in the AP. If they win the Red River Rivalry, they might jump to #1.

I'd be ok putting Texas at #1 with that win along with one over Bama.

We have a top 5 defense. No where near a top five offense.

Agreed...Georgia plays Kentucky so they might hold on to the top spot but Texas would definitely have the best resume. Texas has a fairly easy schedule after that game.

I consider Texas to be the sleeping giant of CF. Their recruiting base is off the charts. They could very well win it all this year

Sagarin's predictor has the top 8 teams within 1.5 points of one another.

There are 8 to 10 teams that have a legit chance of winning it all this year. Most wide open we've seen in awhile.

They've slow played Kentucky and Missouri so far. UK presents an interesting matchup for the Dawgs. Physical defense. Running team first, will be dangerous if the pass starts clicking. They gave UGA a tough game last year even if they were Iowa-esqe on offense.

Interesting to see what they would do with Kentucky if they beat GA. Two wins in a row against ranked teams, but possibly the easiest schedule in the nation prior to that.

Probably rocket them up to 8.

Spread is -15 Dawgs. Night game at Athens. Uphill battle for sure.

Beating Georgia on the road likely warrants that kind of jump.

No argument from me. I'd probably put them as high as 5 or 6 truth be told.

Probably not as easy as Michigan's schedule.

Probably not as easy as Michigan's schedule.

Michigan's SOS so far is 113
Kentucky's SOS so far is 124

Ball State, EKU, Akron, and Vandy? Pretty tough to get easier than that.
