MSU In the Rankings

[ShotgunDawg]

Thought we could just condense everything in one thread:

ESPN FPI has MSU at #10 this morning. http://www.espn.com/college-football...cs/teamratings

Bill Connolly's S&P has MSU at #11 https://www.sbnation.com/college-foo...s-2018-week-11

I always find it interesting how the coaches & AP polls differ so much from the formula based rankings. The AP & Coaches polls allow the win/loss records of mid-major teams & downtrodden blue bloods, influence their rankings.

Total offense - MSU is #56
Total defense - #6
Rushing defense - #18
Passing defense - #7

You missed the most important stat. #1 in tds allowed. And basically tied for #1 with Clemson, ky, and UAb for total points allowed. We have given up 15 field goals.

#15 in the coaches poll. Syracuse and BC passed us. I'm not shocked. That 3rd loss and the losses by the teams that beat us did us no favors yesterday.

No shocked by the incompetence of the media at all. We'd go in dry on both those teams, but I guess win/loss record is all that matters to idiots

The real poll comes out Tuesday and I suspect not 14th or better.

Coaches see that 3rd loss and just put a couple 2 loss teams ahead of us. It is unfortunate because you are right. We would beat the brakes off those 2 teams.

Propping up Clemson?s schedule in a terrible ACC. Clemson will smoke BC this week like Bama does us.

BC is 30th in FPI & Syracuse is 40th

31 of the 111 points we have given up came off turnovers so our defense has been even better than the stats. They've been unreal!

18th in the AP Poll.

Utah State is 14th. Fresno State is 16th. Come on, voters.

It's amazing these media guys graduated high school

This all day. The AP and other polls are outdated and probably won't be around much longer.

[AROB44]

We always go up in the polls the week before we play Bama. Guess it's the power of the Bama voters...

[West Tn Dawg]

I'm expecting 13 come Tuesday.

That's laughable geez

[Dawgfan77]

I'm expecting 13 come Tuesday.

I am as well. It?s really the only poll that matters. Fact remains we have 3 losses and are 25 point dogs this weekend

[LC Dawg]

I'm expecting 13 come Tuesday.

John Bond's number. That's a good omen.

I just hope that losing to Alabama doesn't kill us in the BCS poll. It may not. I'm just used to baseball RPI where weird things happen from game to game.

[parabrave]

Look if we go 8-4 we still go to Nashville or the equivalent. LSU gonna go Citrus and KY gonna get outback. Heck Dans going back to Jacksonville to get Spurrier to say you can't spell Gator without a Mullen in it.

A close loss won't hurt much, if at all, IMO... A 4th loss, however, may be hard for some to overlook...
