Rankings

Top 10 probably. We'll eventually linger in the top 7 until our next big national game. The ACCCH
 
Rankings are really fluid at the start of the season. So #7 or 8 probably. Some individual writers may put the Canes in the top 5.

I think we will simply be moved to #16. Or #17, depending on how much the voters award USC for beating higher-ranked LSU.

While I've always felt that the pre-season rankings were a crapshoot and should be more subject to "movement" than the late-season rankings, I also feel that a lot of the writers and coaches do not like Miami, will not give a lot of credit to us whipping Florida, and are unlikely to rip up the rankings that they JUST VOTED ON when a lot of teams did not lose.

Also, a lot of teams ahead of us not only won, but won by a big margin.

We should jump F$U, Clemson, and LSU. And we may get jumped by USC. To go any farther THIS WEEK means that writers and coaches are somehow valuing our Florida win more than the wins of other teams.

#18 K-State won 41-6
#17 OK-State won 44-20
#16 Oklahoma won 51-3
#15 Tennessee won 69-3
#12 Utah won 49-0
#11 Mizzou won 51-0
#9 Michigan won 30-10
#8 Pedo State won 34-12
#7 Notre Shame beat a RANKED aTm 23-13
#6 Ole Miss won 76-0
#5 Alabama won 63-0
#4 Texas won 52-0
And while #3 Oregon only beat Idaho 24-14, I don't think the pollsters will put us ahead of Oregon
#2 Ohio Taint won 52-6
#1 UGa beat a RANKED Clemson 34-3

While I think we could/should be rated higher, which of those teams above will the voters allow us to jump? Maybe OK-State? Maybe Pedo State? Oregon is ranked too high for us to edge ahead of them.

#16 is likely. #17 is possible if USC jumps us. #15 would only happen if we jump OK-State. Outside of K-State and Utah, every other school ahead of us is Big 10/SEC. Or Notre Dame. No way in **** that we jump any of those guys.

#14 would be the farthest we could go, jumping F$U/Clemson/LSU, plus K-State and OK-State.

Florida, as much as we hate them...they were UNRANKED. For a reason.

Just bought tickets for me and Mrs. 'stomp for the Miami @ GTech game; 4th row behind the Miami bench. Us Canes fans up here in Atlanta represent at Bobby Dodd well. Need them to show up undefeated for a big game that night.

There’s zero availability according to GT ticket site
 
No one outside of uga , bama, ole miss, Texas, Miami look all that strong this year. Realistically we should be in that 7-10 range based off first impression. But I can See us being in that 10-13 range. Or only move up a few spots because like someone said, uf isn’t really that good

LSU was way overrated. Lost their whole offensive skill guys!! Defense was booty juice. No way they should have been anything less than #20, let alone #13!!

It really depends on how the voters respond. Ideally, they should be more open to reshuffling their rankings every week, especially early in the year because preseason rankings are a crap shoot but it rarely works out that way. Usually voters will keep everything status quo and only drop teams who lose. It’s stupid because it puts an even bigger onus on the preseason poll and it makes it harder for deserving teams to rise in the polls.
