AP Poll #10

[SolarGarlic]

Its fun but that’s all. IMO we are way overrated. Win next weekend and mid teens is def warranted.

Way overrated is an overstatement. We're safely a top 20 team by all of the major power rankings. Our resume is even better when compared to other top 20 teams.

 

[Hammerschlagen]

I think I'd put us at #13 right now. Nobody below 13 scares me.

The best thing about our team is that we will continue to get better as the season progresses. I think we'll drop a game or two given the schedule, but our team will play it's best football in November and beyond

definitely possible here is Bud Elliott's projection with us as the Big 12 champ....

Bud is always after clicks. He's a douchebag of the highest order

LMAO what a nut sack.

I would take the Clones over Miami and PSU head to head

Penn State beat WVU 34-12. This weekend should be very telling to see how we stack up.

It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison though. Pedo got WV in Happy Value and we are playing WV in a primetime night game... Just win baby!

Probably true, but its not unreasonable that Boise could be ahead of a 2 or 3 loss big 12 champ.

When Cincinnati made the 4 team playoff they would have gotten a Bye in the 12 team model. Possible, maybe even more likely then you think in the current landscape. Example. Lets pretend Boise State actually beat Oregon earlier this year and beat Wash St. Then ran the table in the Mountain West.

Say the ACC/Big 12 sort of beat up on eachother and each winner has 2 or even 3 losses. I could see Boise State being ranked higher then the ACC/Big 12 champions. I mean right now They are number 17 even with the loss to Oregon. The Big 12 campion probably ends up ranked higher then them, but what if they would have been Oregon adn the Big 12 doesn't have a 0 or 1 loss champion?

My “technically” was more about all four of those conferences getting byes, which is possible the way the system is set up but inconceivable in any sane reality.

There was also a play, on the game winning touchdown, where an ineligible receiver (one of the linemen from Miami) was more than three yards past the line of scrimmage before Ward threw the ball. Three yards is the allowable limit. Now that one should have been flagged. Number 73 on Miami is 4+ yards past. The penalty there would've made the next play 5 yards back and a loss of down.

I believe the penalty is a 5 yard penalty and replay the down. I don't think there is a loss of down.

Penn State played in Morgantown.

I think Happy Valley is State College while Happy Value is in Morgantown.

He might be after some clicks but he might also be the most knowledgeable college media personality about every single team than anyone else in the business.

If Boise is 11-1 with only a loss to Oregon and the Big 12 champ has 3 losses? It’s possible.

Also would be a disaster for perception and narrative for the Big 12.

Noted. Man I don't know why but I thought that one was in HV.

 

[Cychl82]

Penn State beat WVU 34-12. This weekend should be very telling to see how we stack up.

For the most part, 1st game vs game 6 is a big difference though as well.

The Big 12 champ gets one of the top four spots automatically. No?

No.

 

[ClubCy]

Nope. Neither does the SEC, Big 10, or ACC.

Just the top four rated conference champs.

If that's not intentionally don't for some clickbait then I didn't know what is. I have less respect for that then I have for him to put a B12 champ at 11.

I can't take one week to the next to come to a conclusion let alone Week 1 to 7.

Sure, if PSU or WVU havent improved at all in 6 weeks, then yes
