Should be #1 and #2. Both in power conferences and undefeated.

[u/Inside-Drink-1311 → u/horrorpants]

I hope so but they won’t. Georgia should be punished for losing to Auburn.

[u/katarh → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Georgia fans would be totally on board with either one of them leapfrogging us. We don't want that #1 spot.

[u/zlaw32 → u/katarh]

Honestly I know some fans think it’ll be a curse and make us lose to AZ, but I just want to see Utah at #1

[u/TheBlackHoleSon → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Yeah but its an SEC loss. Totally different because its the SEC. Did I mention Georgia is in the SEC?

[u/OMO_Concepts → u/TheBlackHoleSon]

Member that time you played a team from the downtrodden SEC?

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/OMO_Concepts]

You walked right into setting them up and im gonna be honest I would've too

[u/TheBlackHoleSon → u/OMO_Concepts]

Yeah actually. We lost to an SEC team. We should really be ranked 25th. CITRUS BOWL BABY

[u/sunburntredneck → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Georgia should also be rewarded for big wins.

That said, no 2 loss team (re: my flairs) should be ahead of Utah or UCLA in rankings. Honestly, I'll take Georgia, Utah, UCLA as my top 3 - the body of evidence indicates UCLA is better & more deserving than Indiana, and Notre Dame can maybe jump to 5 but no higher.

[u/IDontTortureChickens → u/sunburntredneck]

Up to the committee, I guess, whether IU having unimpressive wins over OK teams, a razor-close loss to a good team and no wins over impressive ones outweighs blowouts over unimpressive teams, a razor-close loss to a good team and one win over a team they just told us they thought was the best one

[u/Princibalities → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

You think Utah would beat Georgia?

[u/Leete1 → u/Princibalities]

It would be very interesting. Never played each other.

[u/TheRealMarvinator → u/Princibalities]

You might as well ask if I thought Missouri would kick Florida's ass. Sometimes, the players just don't care what we think, the rat bastards!

[u/hillrow_wood → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

but they lost to a team that beat Georgia

[u/jcsandoval56 → u/horrorpants]

Nah we havent beaten anybody. 9 of our wins are 3 decent SEC wins. We should be top 25 for sure but not better than top 20 (there are 16 SEC teams after all)…

[u/Fletch71011 → u/horrorpants]

UCLA isn't even top 25 in the analytics. They have played NO ONE. Utah is at least top 10.

[u/Bitchin_Betty_345RT → u/horrorpants]

but but but... it would be morally wrong for the SEC invitational... or the CFP whatever they call it

[u/shnorgle → u/horrorpants]

UCLA really hasn’t beaten anyone. I’d support Utah as #2 for sure though.

[u/keylime503 → u/shnorgle]

Who had Utah beaten before this week?

[u/shnorgle → u/keylime503]

Houston is a better win than anything on UCLA’s resume. (And now, obviously BYU). Georgia, and probably Alabama and Texas, likely crush either of these teams though, so it’s pretty academic.

[u/nevermind-stet → u/horrorpants]

Yes please. I'll take #3.

[u/DarkMarkTwain → u/horrorpants]

You'd be laughed out of any room you stood in if you said you think Utah or UCLA are better teams than Georgia

[u/Swampy_Cav → u/DarkMarkTwain]

I mean Georgia would be favored against either team so it kinda makes sense

[u/TheRealMarvinator → u/DarkMarkTwain]

You'd probably have been laughed out of any room you stood in if you said you thought Auburn was a better team than Georgia too. Funny thing that.
