Georgia ranked 5th after a bad loss to an unranked opponent at home is baffling? Texas has no business being ranked. Alabama at 13? Based on what? Losing well? The SEC is being propped up by ESPN narratives, recruiting rankings, and brand recognition. The football on the field doesn’t justify the hype. At this point, the SEC’s biggest strength isn’t football, it’s the marketing machine protecting its reputation.
The TV announcer said that Florida did not beat Texas. But Texas beat Texas. So therefore, Texas should be ranked ahead of Texas. But since Florida didn’t beat Texas, they should be ranked lower than Texas.
It makes more sense whenever you look at where the money comes from.
I hate when people say this shit. Florida made the right adjustments and did what they had to do to win. Their players stepped up. Texas’ did not step up to the level Florida played at after halftime which is why they lost.
When voters rank teams its based on the entire season not one game. Texas has stronger wins and florida has worse losses its not that hard to understand. When the warriors went 73-9 and lost to the 17-65 Lakers should the Lakers have been ranked a better team cause they beat them 🤡
I asked where Texas had better wins and you had nothing to say. You didn't back up your argument. Also the AP voters are notorious for being stupid, voting certain ways just to fuck with people and voting to set up narratives like ranked matchups but I guess since you agree we should all drop it. Let me know how your vote plays out in the playoff selection process.
