Are we going to punish Penn st for that Bowling Green game as well? I mean A&M controlled that bowling green game the whole time, just never pulled away. Penn st was actually losing it almost the entire game just came through late.

You say all that, but who has SMU beaten? Who has anyone really beaten for that matter. My point is you’re using a lot of logic to point to why A&Ms thrashing of a top 10 team wasn’t “impressive” and I’m simply asking what has smu done that’s better? I mean honestly if we are going to play the overrated card, Texas only has 1 win vs a team with a pulse and it’s a 2 loss Michigan that might go 7-5. Just because the game was hyped doesn’t mean Michigan is a better win than a Mizzou or Louisville or insert whatever top 25ish team you want.

I’m not arguing those points above, I’m simply saying that can be said of nearly every team. Tennessee just lost to a team A&M “struggled to beat” yet they are still ranked while A&M gets “punished” for the close win. Ole Miss gets a pass for losing to Kentucky but just two weeks before Georgia was getting hammered for barely beating them. The logic just seems to be applied to make arguments for certain teams at certain times. If we want this poll to be better than the ap and coaches that we all love to gripe about, we have to use some form to f uniform logic the best way possible.

I can get behind the Kentucky stance. They are a very solid team. Will likely go 8-4, but they are a good team.

This wasn’t terrible, but lots left of the bone with this one.

Fair enough. But A&M is 3-0 in conference play and 5-1 overall. Only loss was to another 5-1 top 20 team with a hurt QB in game 1 of a new staff. There isn’t anyone who watched SMU and A&M play this weekend and think SMU is the better team. Just seems like lots of bias. LSU is getting love with a loss arguably worse than ND and no big win yet. Ole Miss has beat no one with a loss to a mediocre Kentucky yet still ranked.

How is SMU and Iowa st getting votes the week after A&M just dismantled a top 10 home. You can’t tell me SMUs win over Louisville is more impressive than beating Mizzou nor that the loss to BYU is less detrimental than losing to ND.

LSU is going to beat Ole Miss.

Not as the number 1 team. Saban had to build Alabama. What he left behind is a top 3 program. They aren’t comparable imo.

Absolutely the ceiling is whatever Weigman has in him this year. The defense will keep them in games and the games will be decided by the oline and Weigman.

Watching him today looks like what everyone expected coming into the season. Before the injury was reported I remember thinking how I never expected the level of performance we saw out of him vs ND. It makes sense he was hurt now looking back. This team can play with anybody if they come in with the same level of focus they had today.

Never to vandy.

My goodness. I am so happy to see this. Nothing to do with Bama, but good for Vandy in making program history.

I was impressed with the 6 sacks and they played well against the run. They did a good job getting off the field on third down. The lsu game in a couple of weeks will be a bigger test for them.
