So what if 5-5 Michigan was #10 when they played, or 5-5 OK ranked at #18 or 6-4 Vandy at #25? Are you suggesting that whatever team beats these teams this week is less impressive because of bullshit early season rankings?

- As the season progresses, current rankings mean more KWIRISH 11:03pm · 11/13/24

        Should GT get more credit for beating FSU than ND or not?NT iairishcheeks 8:53am · 11/14/24
        
        It's not about "should" or your poor little feelings on the matter. Factually, GA Tech "did" get Link Chrisb 10:15am · 11/14/24
        
        Seems like you're projecting this 'feelings' bullshit. iairishcheeks 1:43pm · 11/14/24
        
        Wrong, I have only pointed out facts while you have only leaned on your feelings... Chrisb 2:33pm · 11/14/24
        
        Point to where you think my feeling came into play. iairishcheeks 2:56pm · 11/14/24
    - How do you reconcile that argument with this one?Link iairishcheeks 11:36pm · 11/13/24

- Completely agree with you WoodstockIrish 10:48pm · 11/13/24
  - The only thing is momentum and attitude are important if you are playing a team. If they are ranked THEISMANCARR 1:04am · 11/14/24

    - Was ND a better team on Oct 18th, 2014 when we were 6-0 and ranked #5, and Chrisb 10:56pm · 11/13/24
      - Exactly our attitude for that game was reflected in our achievement and obviously hit the shitter as THEISMANCARR 1:07am · 11/14/24
      - FSU underperformed in that game.NT iairishcheeks 11:37pm · 11/13/24
        
        We certainly won the line of scrimmage and were the more physical team that night. NDinKentucky 12:12pm · 11/14/24
        
        You could say we overachieved or they underachieved. iairishcheeks 6:02pm · 11/14/24
        
        That may be the biggest bullshit response ever posted on this board. Chrisb 7:33am · 11/14/24
        
        FSU was a lot better than ND in 2014, the records and stats prove it. iairishcheeks 7:44am · 11/14/24
        
        That is a bullshit answer. If they underperformed it was because we performed well and we did not THEISMANCARR 1:15am · 11/14/24
        
        It was fools gold, at no point in 2014 were we the actual 5th best team in the country. iairishcheeks 6:53am · 11/14/24

        Early season rankings are a joke WoodstockIrish 8:10am · 11/14/24
        
        We agree, using early season rankings in any argument is a weak argument.NT iairishcheeks 8:12am · 11/14/24
        
        In addition, here's a hypothetical to prove the absurdity of their argument. iairishcheeks 8:36am · 11/14/24
