Can't complain about that at all.

Then I'll complain about it.
It's ridiculous because we are a lot better than that while teams ranked above us continue to struggle to beat below average teams.
The college football ranking system may be one of the most asanine traditional systems in the country.

2014 rinse repeat - that's how it works with so many national voters - it'll take a few weeks for some to the voters to figure out we're not under NCAA investigation

Of course its asinine. But guess what? The rankings no longer mean anything. The only poll that matters doesn't start until Week 8. The AP and Coaches poll means less than nothing and I don't know why anyone gives a crap about them any more. I'd say the same thing if we were ranked in the Top 5.

This isn't true.
Ranked teams are the ones that get their highlights shown on espn, talked about on talk shows, etc.
When you aren't ranked you are at a distinct disadvantage in coverage.

Here's why I can't complain. The concensus on this board is a 6-6 to 7-5 season. The national concensus was 5-7 to 6-6. Before last night we decimated two bad teams. Last night we dominated a very good team. There was no reason for us to be ranked before our win last night. I think the pollsters want to see if we are a one hit wonder or can sustain the momentum. We do what we're supposed to and the ranking will take care of itself.

Agree. If we do our job as we did in 2014, we'll be ranked where we need to be when it counts

To qoute Doug Flutie:
"That'll work."

Just let them realize we are top 10 in scoring offense and defense.

It's a travesty that LSU is even still ranked after their trip to the woodshed last night. Vandy should be there instead.

Agree, but I hope LSU finds a way to win 9 games or so b/c that'll make our win look that much more impressive. They've got good talent on D that'll make the NFL and their style should pound TCUN in a few weeks. We really need them to stay ranked.

We debut at #17 in the AP Poll
http://collegepolltracker.com/football/
Better than the Coaches poll, but the true travesty is that three voters have us unranked.

If anyone wants to do some twittering with me, we all need to have a word with the following pollsters, as they didn't even put us in the top 25:
Steve Batterson of the Quad City Times in Iowa (@sbatt79)
Jonny Miller of WBZ News Radio 1030 in Boston (Too old for twitter, it seems)
Terry Hutchins of CNHI Sports of Indiana (@indysportshutch)

Also, all three have LSU still ranked, with Terry Hutchins having them at #16

It is a travesty, an absolute abomination, that Auburn is ahead of us.

We neededed Georgia and Auburn to keep winning and stay ranked. Helps us out more beating them like we did in 14. Ranked teams help perception even if ranking isn't warranted.
