Polls: AP #22 / Coaches #21

[wiseman3]

Well, if NC State loses, I bet we pass them

 

[orangenauburn]

ND is going to be a handful. They are blowing the doors off a good BYU team.

Is BYU good, though?

Wins over USF, Wyoming, Utah State ...

I spoke too soon. ND in some trouble now.

 

[Eric15]

#13 Kentucky losing to South Carolina 17-7 in the 4th. I think we could be as high as #17 tomorrow.

I think a lot of teams are so up and down week to week

 

[MGDCuse]

NC St. looking strong on their first drive of the 2nd half.

 

[dasher]

Watching what games I saw today has given me a bit more confidence.

 

[orangefog]

Leary's down

 

[sufandu]

They shouldn’t they have 2 losses and Oklahoma bites.

I know this is off topic, but you have to wonder if Venables is cut out to be a head coach. I know it's early, but he was handed a team with talent, and they have regressed.

 

[MGDCuse]

Looks like Leary might have a separated shoulder. In a sling on the sideline.

It's probably too early to tell, but coaches don't get time to turn over a roster to what they want at places like Oklahoma, so he better get it figured out quickly.

OU lost some offensive players and recruits who followed Lincoln, if I recall. That said, there was enough remaining talent to be at least decent.

 

[upperdeck]

maybe its easier to coach D with the best talent on the field than to coach a team with holes.

 

[upperdeck]

how many of the 2 loss teams can stay in there..

I have to think we pass Utah/Kent/BYU/Kansas/Wash in the AP. I could see Miss st passing us. NC st moves up to 12. Maybe UCLA jumps up that high.

17-18 is probably our ceiling

I was thinking 18 was where we will land. I think NCST moves up to 11 or 12.

 

[CuseMan4]

CBS just put out their projections. Has up to 17

 

[Finwad32]

I’m gonna say 19 & 12 in the AP… 18 & 12 Coaches.

 

[SUFan44]

I’m gonna say 19 & 12 in the AP… 18 & 12 Coaches.

Will be two highest ranked teams matched up in the Dome since Syracuse (17) vs. Tennessee (10) 24 years.

Hope the city understands how important this game is and shows up.

Yeah, losing the QB was big for sure.

That would be awesome, but... I don't think we're actually that good.

 

[TexanMark]

Purdue winning yesterday helps us a bit.

BL: we need to get to 6 wins first (and not against BC please...my emotional well being can't handle that)

Anything after 6 wins is gravy. Worse case we need 2022 to set the baseline. Fun times to be a native 315er.

 

[SUFan44]

That would be awesome, but... I don't think we're actually that good.

Why not? I watched plenty of teams yesterday and we aren’t any different than the majority of them.

That's fair, and it's probably my own PTSD as a fan.

When I see a number like 12 though and ask myself, are there really only 10 or 11 teams better than us? I don't know, there's a mental jump there.

The 12 was NCSt

 

[OttoinGrotto]

The 12 was NCSt

Oof, well I completely misread that.

In fairness... I don't think NC State is the 12th best team either.
