Memphis cracks polls at 22

[starkvegasdawg]

Not looking like as easy a pushover for the Bears.

[msstate7]

Unless Memphis has found a defense, I think OM by 10

[ShotgunDawg]

This is where polls lose me and I can't figure out what people are ranking.

We'd be favored by double digits against Memphis (I know everyone is convinced we are terrible right now, but in reality we are pretty good on a national scale), but yet Memphis is ranked and we aren't.

Again, what are we ranking?

They also tried to convince me last night that Cal vs Utah was a big game when both teams annually recruit in the 40s.

The way the media covers college football is a scam to create ratings.

Also our two loses are to two top 10 teams. Why no love for that?

[Maroonthirteen]

We would whip their tail.

What year was it? 2003? They had Williams and Whimprin? They were soooo goood. We were bad. We beat them easily. Jackie got into with Tommy West.

[Maroonthirteen]

I'm with ya shotgun.

TCU.... Overrated.
Utah. .overrated.

This analyst with their cfp this am...are ridiculous. They are just prentending everyone in the current top 10 still has shot. But it will be OhioSt, SEC (LSU,Bama,ATM) Baylor and Clemson. The media will push for ND if they get by USC.

Who isn't overrated really? It's so easy to sit here each Sunday and state certain teams all the sudden suck. There are a lot of good teams that have to win close games and until they lose you can't take anything away from them.

[ScottH]

I am concerned Memphis will get blown out.

I agree. I believe the media looks at a team's potential the rest of the year, based on their schedule, rather than ranking teams based on strength. They also want the game with OM to be 2 ranked teams...

Bo, is that you?

You had me until this^

Me too.

[MrKotter]

Memphis has zero chance against om. OM will win by 30

[CadaverDawg]

I agree. Ole Miss 48 Mempho 13

[msstate7]

Memphis has zero chance against om. OM will win by 30

I doubt that. OM wins, but Memphis will play better than a 30 point defeat

[ShotgunDawg]

I hear you

I'm usually on your side with this, but just making the point that two schools that average a 40s recruiting ranking aren't likely national powers

[defiantdog]

Memphis will have to keep up with OM...... OM may put up 50 on Memphis. I think Memphis will put up its fair share of points as well though.

Memphis doesn't have anything close to om in talent. And I'm not hyping om's talent level with that statement. Memphis is vastly overrated. Its going to be an ass kicking. Any SEC school not named Vandy would beat their ass.

[Tripp McNeely]

Have y'all watched both teams play this year? om is only a 10 point favorite...and that'll narrow prior to kickoff...38-31...and I'm not sure which team is the 38

The score will be higher than that. Memphis likes to score, but their defense has a bunch of Deontay Evans playing for them.

I've seen Ole Miss beat Bama at Bama, and slaughter a bunch of OOC cupcakes. I've seen Memphis barely beat Cincy in a hyped up home game where Cincy lost their QB early, and Memphis won like 100-99 or whatever it was. You take an Ole Miss offense that abuses OOC teams at an average of about 67 per game, and add that to an OOC team that is considered a small "rival" that is giving up 60 points to teams like Cincinatti......and you get a bloodbath. Ole Miss will name the score against Memphis. Memphis does not have the athletes to guard those receivers for 4 quarters.

Not to mention, Memphis has been talking shit, which is idiotic. I just don't see this one being close at all. And when all of our fans say that it will be close, it makes it look like we're justifying how good Ole Miss is when they beat memphis by 35+. I'd rather look at the talent levels and know that Ole Miss should kill them, and be able to make fun of them if it's close....than to overhype Memphis and make it look like Ole Miss slaughtered a good team. ha
