Revised Ranking Prediction for Sunday

[JonDMiller]

Iowa at #14...will move ahead of Florida, Arizona (I know, polls don't make sense) and Miami. MSU and South Carolina will move ahead of Iowa.

Miami?

 

[hawkfaninTX]

agreed, but in a way their loss is worse than our loss. Theirs was at home versus an unranked team, ours was on the road versus a top 25 team. If you say that last sentence without team names, you say of course - The latter is the better team.

 

[Tschroeder13]

Miami?

miami lost... if thats why you said miami?

 

[Hawk4Life25]

Nevermind....thought Miami was on the side of teams moving ahead of Iowa.

 

[DFaceHawkeye]

Jon, how far up the polls do you think S. Carolina jumps? And how far does Alabama fall?

 

[silvanthalas]

Don't be surprised if Stanford also jumps us. After all, they just beat USC!

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

Big 10 hatred...expect Iowa to drop out of the polls for not being impressive enough in their bye week.

 

[hawkfaninTX]

Bama = #4-7. Oklahoma, TCU, Boise, Oregon, and tOSU will (should) be ahead of them. SC will basically become the highest 1 loss team ranked (outside of bama of course), #9-13 range. probably will replace Arizona's spot.

 

[hawkfaninTX]

Don't be surprised if Stanford also jumps us. After all, they just beat USC!

basically because their loss is better than ours, both on the road, but theirs was to a top 5 team. ours was ranked just inside the top 25 when it happened.

I have Bama falling to #9 ahead of Arkansas and LSU. South Carolina will jump us to #12. #13 Michigan St. #14 Stanford #15 Arizona, #16 Iowa. We are talking AP Poll here, west coast bias, ESPN bias, and the fact that Iowa lost to Arizona.
So... Iowa passes Miami and Florida, but falls behind South Carolina, Stanford and Michigan St. Fair or not.

All it means is it was a bad week to have a bye week, in the first half of the season. Still have over half of the season to go. No use getting worked up about it. Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised, just dont count on it.

 

[DFaceHawkeye]

The order the SEC teams should land in the rankings: Auburn, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas. Especially if the pollsters hold Arizona ahead of Iowa for head-to-head.

I think Arizona falls below Iowa.... I think that loss just looks that bad.

 

[briankaldenberg]

Stanford, Florida State, South Carolina, Michigan State will all jump us. We'll jump Florida, Arizona and Miami. So ultimately we drop one spot.

 

[bhawk326]

I predict as follows:

1) Ohio State; 2) Oregon; 3) Boise State; 4) TCU; 5) Nebraska; 6) Oklahoma; 7) Auburn; 8) LSU; 9) Utah; 10) Alabama; 11) South Carolina; 12) Arkansas; 13) Michigan State; 14) Iowa; 15) Stanford; 16) FSU; 17) Wisconsin; 18) Arizona; 19) Oklahoma State; 20) Missouri; 21) Nevada; 22) Air Force; 23) West Virginia; 24) Michigan; 25) Miami(FL)

I believe South Carolina will be ranked 1 spot below Alabama which I don't agree.

 

[greghammel]

-The Top 11 is the Top 12 minus Arizona. Alabama will not fall out of the Top 10.

#12-#16 is a no doubter... it will be a group of South Carolina, Iowa, Stanford, Michigan State, and Arizona.

#17 - #24 will be Wisconsin, Ok St., Nevada, Florida St, Missouri, AF, Miami, Florida,


#25 is tough.... Does #18 Michigan fall out of the Top 25? I don't think so. Saved by the bell, and we should be happy about it if that happens.

 

[edr247]

I predict the following...

1. tOSU
2. Iowa
3. Michigan State
4. Wisconsin
5. The rest of the country
