Teams with one loss in the newest AP Poll
Oct 1, 2017, 7:11 PM
|
|
There are currently 10 teams with a loss in the AP Poll:
10. Ohio State (4-1) - Lost to Oklahoma 12. Auburn (4-1) - Lost to Clemson 14. USC (4-1) - Lost to Washington State 15. Oklahoma State (4-1) - Lost to TCU 16. Virginia Tech (4-1) - Lost to Clemson 17. Louisville (4-1) - Lost to Clemson 21. Florida (3-1) - Lost to Michigan 21. Notre Dame (4-1) - Lost to Georgia 23. West Virginia (3-1) - Lost to Virginia Tech 24. NC State (4-1) - Lost to South Carolina
Almost not having to explain, Clemson is the only team that handed more than one of these teams a loss. In addition, West Virginia Lost to Virginia Tech who just lost to Clemson.
And yet somehow Clemson, the defending national champions, is now ranked #2 behind Alabama—a team that is not on the above list of beating the current top-25.

It's the brand man...you know this...
Bama is the SEC and generates all revenue for that dump.

People aren't sold on Kelly Bryant being able to beat Alabama.

Honestly, I'm not either. The last two years we were a bad

matchup for Bama, but this year I think Bama might be a bad matchup for us. It's virtually impossible to run the ball against them. They basically just force your QB to be superman to beat them, and Watson was able to do that. Chad Kelly was able to do it for one game also. Nobody else has even come close in the last 2+ years.
While Kelly Bryant has been very good, I'm not sure he's good enough to put the team on his back and carry them to a win over Bama. We would probably have to turn the game into a defensive struggle and just hope we could get out enough offense.

In an odd way I think we might be a tougher match up for Bana this year. I think our defense is even better, particularly our secondary. Also I think we have a better run game. If we we were to get down by 14 or more I would be worried but I think barring injuries we could take them to the wire and wear them out - again.

You and I have the same thought on the defense, but just want to make sure no one will nitpick you thinking you claim our d-line isn't any better than last year.
Our d-line is even better than last year, but the secondary is vastly improved on coverage. And seriously, everyone on our d has speed, even our DTs.

There is only one way we will move up in the polls.

We have plenty of good wins so we must emergency schedule an SEC team and lose to them. One good loss should make this right.

Just being Alabama seems to guarantee a number 1 ranking until beaten. B.s., but it is what it is.
