OK, since I know you were all super-worried about it, it looks like I might be going out after all, as one I my friends just called about a tight house party.

 

Also, for the record, I did the Top 19 when I was still almot completely sober, and I only got drunk while I was waiting for the Purdue game to go final, so these ratings are completely credible and I stick by them absolutely.

 

If you have any compliments, complaints, or general comments, please feel free to type your opinion.

Why is Michigan State 7th? And why are Ohio State and Georgia below Louisville? UCLA not ranked? Auburn ranked?

Michigan State beats a terribly overrated Notre Dame and moves to #7?

 

No.

How does the NC game drop the Badgers down 5 spots?

All right, I haven't got a call back from Chris yet, so I'll answer the early questions on the rankings.

 

As for Michigan State, they've accomplished something. They beat a real team on the road, and as such, they've done something more significant than any seven teams in the country at this point.

 

I mean really, who would you put ahead of them right now? Georgia looked good against a Boise State team that turned out to be vastly overrated, before barely beating a mediocre South Carolina team. Georgia Tech beat Auburn (a win less impressive than ND on the road) before having two outings that were far from impressive against UNC and UConn. Louisville looked great for one game against OSU, but the looked terrible against UK, and I don't see how you can rate them ahead of a team who's been impressive for all three games, and has accomplished more than the Cardinals this season.

 

I know that a win over ND doesn't satisfy the typical criteria for a 20 spot leap, but if you want to argue, I want to see at least one team that's actually worthy of being ahead of them at this point.

 

Now, as for Wisconsin, it's not so much that they played bad and deservd to drop five spots this week. However, there are two major facts available:

 

1. Michigan State, Louisville, and Miami all accomplished something more significant than anything Wisconsin has done all year.

 

2. Wisconsin really hasn't accomplished much all year. They were coasting to a Top 12 ranking based on the fact that they looked impressive thus far. Therefore, when they look unimpressive against North Carolina, they have no reason to maintain their ranking. If they had a big win, (like GT against Auburn), they wouldn't drop five spots, but since they didn't, there's really no reason to keep them so high after that poor of a performance.

I don't see how you could possibly rank Miami ahead of Ohio State when Miami barely beat Clemson. Ohio State lost a close as hell game to Texas.

The Universal Law of College Football Rankings: no matter what, Miami will always be overrated.

Fuck that. Ohio State's best win was a (relatively) close game over San Diego State. Miami beat a real Top 25 team on the road which gives them more credit, and makes them closer to a real team. OSU looks like real squad, and when they get to the point where they're best game wasn't a loss, maybe they'll deserve to be in the Top Ten. However, for now, I can't see any reason to put them ahead of teams like MSU or GT.

You know why U of L shouldn't be ranked below Michigan St.? Because U of L would beat them by 2 or 3 TDs. I'd like to see that game actually, since John L. Smith left on bitter terms and I know the Cards would love to run it up on him.

 

Michigan St. is a Big 10 JTTS. Once they lose to Ohio St., Michigan, Purdue, Wisconsin or whoever else no one will care about this ND win.

Clemson is a real Top 25 team? Wow...

OK, there not in the Top 25 now, but they were before Miami beat them, and even so, I'd honestly call them #26 right now. Also, I made that post when I was completely blacked out, so the fact that I was as coherent as I was deserves some credit.
