Ga Tech would've rolled into their Lville loss ranked in the teens, got knocked back into low 20s, won their next 2, been back in teens for notre dames sake, dropped back into 20s, out after VA tech loss and right back in after Miami win. They would be 8-3 and ranked right now if they didn't lose to Syracuse.

UNLV would have never dropped from ranked if they didn't lose to Syracuse. They would have been ranked in the teens and undefeated going into the Boise State game, maybe dropped to low 20s with that close loss and be back in the teens now vs 23.

Ohio is the only maybe but had they beat us week 1 and rolled into that Kentucky game 3-0 the pollsters probably have put them 24 or 25 just to say "SEC vs a ranked team!". Had they beaten us they'd be 9-2 now and almost certainly ranked once again.

This is the game the pollsters play and have done forever. If we were in SEC or big ten with an identical resume we'd be 5-10 higher.

Also that bad Stanford loss looks a bit less haggard after the beat Lville this past weekend. We should probably be ranked around 20-23rd currently
