Mr. P Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I feel like Oklahoma's value is majorly inflated, while Florida is extremely undervalued. OU's gonna drop at least two games this season, while Florida is starting to find itself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Iowa and Penn State both ahead of A&M?

Close loss against the #1 team. I had them as high as 6. Probably where I should have left them. If I took off the maroon sunglasses, I’d flip A&M and Penn State. Road win against #12 Wisconsin. Home win against #22 Auburn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, really? Are y'all watching the same Sooners I am? We're slowly turning into an average SEC team from the 90's: good defense, solid running game, mediocre QB.

If you want a seat at the big boy table, you have to over come the adversity and win these type of games. If we took the next step like we feel Jimbo has with this program, we beat Arkansas by more than the 5 point spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word 'round the campfire is that he was the more impressive QB this summer. Rattler has is experience and familiarity with the playbook, which is important, but Williams has a clear advantage in athleticism. Those piddly 3- and 5-yard scrambles Rattler makes would be 20-yard runs by Williams. Oh sure, Rattler has a much stronger arm... but what good does it do if he throws beautiful 50-yard spirals that are incomplete? Inasmuch as I'm already considering 2021 a "building year," I think we start Williams and let Rattler transfer portal to Arizona State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than that: he doesn't do the simple things well. I'd settle for him being a Landry Jones type QB: average talent, but productive overall. But he's not even that. Dude thinks he's Baker Mayfield but he's not even a Cale Gundy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur. Georgia's defense has some ridiculous talent, but I think Florida's perimeter speed matches up well. I think that's gonna be a helluva game, with Florida pulling away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This years field seems more open than I've seen in a while. So while there are some teams that I don't think should be as high as others (OU for example), I find myself asking this question, 'well, who should be ahead of them (not OU, per say, just in general)?'.

Lobo97 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I put OU at 7. Cincinnati was not in my Top 10. They need to play someone first. BYU was my #10. They have impressive wins over Utah and ASU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. This might be the most wide open season we’ve had in a long time. It used to be a lock that 3 spots were taken: Bama, Ohio State, Clemson. All three teams have looked mortal. Bama looked beatable against Florida. Tulsa hung with Ohio State. Clemson scraped by Georgia Tech. OU has looked the same as those 3 but they won. Until they don’t I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Oregon top 3, top 4 team? Okay. Iowa and Penn State top 5 teams? Okay. Florida might be the best 1 loss team in the country. I couldn’t argue with anybody putting them top 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I think is being totally miscommunicated is the florida bama game. Florida looked very no doubt. But it was just as much if not more of Bama looking mortal. I've seen far too many people jump florida way up because of how good they looked yet look at bama schedule and are writing them in the playoffs if they can beat florida one more time. I personally saw many things that at least two possibly 3 more teams on the bama schedule have the talent and/ scheme to exploit if Bama doesn't improve. I'm not predicting those teams actually beat bama Im just saying that I believe they have far more weaknesses than we have seen in years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
