Wow, didn’t think that was gonna happen.

Surprising. But we're the highest ranked 3-loss team; A&M is the other at 25.

There really aren't that many worthy teams this year. It's Alabama, then top heavy with 4 or 5 teams, then the rest.

Just the NCAA puppet masters setting up Alabama for a manufactured top 25 win.**

Based on talent alone, I think State is probably top 8-10 in the country. The top 25 ranking is deserved. You’re right, outside of Alabama, there is a dearth of elite teams. Can’t really recall a year like this one.

They could probably just go ahead and award Bama the NC right now. It's going to happen anyway, and it'd save a lot of their fans from buying $2000 tickets (I know a guy and his wife who did just that a couple of years ago. And he also spent about $2500 going to the season opener this year).

Didn't think of that, but you may well be right. Notice A&M is still Top 25 also. Wonder if they'll move Auburn back in ....

But, hey, Roll Tide! Amirite?

I honestly don't think there are 4 or 5 teams.

I think vs all other top 10 teams, we'd win at minimum 3 of 10 games.

Bama is truly the only great team. Oklahoma would be a challenge, but we could score vs them. UGA, LSU, & Ohio State are all better than us but extremely flawed. I still think we'd whip Notre Dame & we should've beaten Florida & would probably beat them 6 or 7 of 10 times.
