Maybe. Too much history to just ignore, though. Clemson drops 11 spots (#25) - to below us and almost out of the top 25 - after getting beat pretty badly by UGAg. I shed no tears for Clemson, but that's pretty harsh. I still think there's bias. UGA's gonna beat a lot of teams that bad this year. Let's see what happens when those become ranked SECheat teams.

Ole Miss dropped from #9 to #13 after getting boat raced by UGA 52-17. It’s early so it makes sense rankings are fluid but definitely harsh

That’s the double-standard. Our win against #10 FSU doesn’t mean much since preseason rankings are pointless. But also rank us below winless teams since their preseason rankings must be right.

So do you think we are better than LSU?

Yes. We're 2-0, they're winless. We don't know how good USCw is.

They have a receiver that is absolutely lightning. Like might be the fastest player i've ever seen play not named Devon Hester. Not necessarily top end speed but his change of direction is unreal.

USCw or LSU? LSU always has lightning fast receivers. I think LSU is going to be good this year. I just don't think teams with losses should be ranked above teams without losses. To me, it's about earning it on the field. Yeah, that may mean it gets weird in the beginning of the season, but those things tend to right themselves as the season goes on, so why not do it right in the beginning?

Yes. Rankings should be earned and based on results.

Yes. I don't know why this isn't more intuitive. Rank teams according to what they've done, not what you think they'll do. That way it will get better and better as the season progresses.

This is where I stand on this: https://www.colleyrankings.com/currank.html

I like this ranking. But despite the result, clearly there isn't enough data to provide meaningful answers yet.

100% agree with this. So, reward those who win and put them ahead of those who lose. Eventually, the cream will rise to the top and all will be right with the world. In the meantime, everyone sees that teams are rewarded for being successful on the field.
