There you go, we deserve that.

One above Oregon. You absolutely love to see it.

 

[stormsurge13]

FSU up to 14. If they take care of business against the two tomato cans and UVA should give us a shot at another top 10 win in Tally

 

[IndayArtHauz]

This is almost exactly what I expected.

Texas lost a very close game at the Shoe, to the #3 team. You can argue that Texas was the better team that day, the game was similar in comparable talent to ours vs ND. How far do you drop them because of that game? One spot behind us is the only thing that makes sense, IMO, but I have no issue with them being one ahead of us.

LSU went on the road and won a close game as well, against a top 5 team. Again, that game could have gone either way, but in this case the road team won. Would I have them at 4? No, but I would have them ahead of us.

Oregon and UGA are the two that you could *maybe* say should’ve held serve or dropped, purely because they got rewarded for playing inflated bags of farts in helmets. Oregon could’ve stayed at 7, and Miami/Texas slot in ahead of them. That’s the one qualm I have.

Florida #13
FSU #14

We’re going to play in some more big profile games soon!

Let’s Go Canes!

 

[The U is back to work]

We have 2 top 14 matchups in next 3 weeks. If UF handles LSU it would be two top 10 matchups by week 4.

I think it’s almost a guarantee Gameday will be in town on the 20th for the Florida game. Win that one and you may get them again in Tallahassee.

Could truly be a monumental year for the program from a national standpoint.

Im surprised @DMoney isn't going live right now

 

[90scane]

FSU could be top 10 (has @UVA hahaha)
UF could be top 10 (has @LSU)
SMU could be top 10 (has @Clemson)

Then we likely play SMU or Clemson in ACCCG if we can win the games we should.

Setting the table for a big year in Fla. football.

 

[Udynasty]

Unlike Coaches Poll, AP got it right.

I hate preseason rankings. Based solely on week 1, the only teams with wins as good as Miami, are OSU and LSU. Those should be the top 3.

Now if by week 4, PSU has beaten a top 6 team, move them into the top 5. Same with UGA Until then, they have done nothing to warrant their rankings.

 

[Cane30]

UF will beat USF this week. USF will not be ranked anytime soon. LSU is going to whoop UF before we play them. To me, LSU easily looked like the best team in week 1. Those portal additions were hits. Their D looks nasty. FSU will probably be undefeated when we play them.

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

That's a fair and deserved bump to No. 5.
FSU got a little more of a bump than I expected (expected them 16-19), but that could wind up helping us in the end.

 

[ScubaCane]

Hard for me to get excited about rankings this early, long way to go and plenty of room for improvement.

Exactly. That’s what I said in another thread. After watching all the games, top 3 no less than 5.

Agreed with the above. LSU is going to mollywhop the Gator. ESPN probably assumes this and assumes that they will come down here and get the Belt to A$$ by us here at the Rock, too.

I'm counting on that.

Gameday will be at the Doak. Both FSU and Miami will be undefeated going into that game, assuming both teams stay healthy and the Noles move into the Top 10. This will be a Howard vs. Bobby Showdown Game. ESPN and ABC won't be able to resist that narrative. It will be like Old Times.

7:30 Prime Time Kick. National Broadcast, probably ABC. By that time, FSU should be ranked 8th, we will probably be at 5 or up to 4.

 

[DemCanes10]

Surprised Bama isnt ahead of FSU........Coaches are ********....why would be ranked below a 1 loss team.
