#20 Washington played a body bag. And lost.
There's not a single SEC team that schedules 2 of these per year.Please GP, no more of these meaningless games. Yes, most of the SEC schedules 2 of them a year, but they have rigged the system for more than 25 years.
That said -
Considering teams move up at times after a bye week (and down), I still think we will be #24.
This is exactly why I don't have a problem with playing Duquesne or Southern or some other terrible FCS. You're not going to get a single bit of credit for beating any of them but if you schedule a good one and have a close win or even a loss then you get destroyed for it.#20 Washington played a body bag.

Yeah they did. I think you forgot about Vandy.There's not a single SEC team that schedules 2 of these per year.
Maybe not FCS (or Duquesne), but definitely lower level body bag games. Most schedule 2 and some schedule 3, with one in the last quarter of the season. A few examples this year:There's not a single SEC team that schedules 2 of these per year.
That's certainly fair in terms of SEC scheduling. The other thing they do is almost never play true road games against good P5 opponents. It's almost exclusively home games or "neutral site" within the SEC footprint. So I'm not defending their scheduling.Maybe not FCS (or Duquesne), but definitely lower level body bag games. Most schedule 2 and some schedule 3, with one in the last quarter of the season. A few examples this year:
Tennessee: Bowling Green, Tennessee Tech & South Alabama
Kentucky: UL Monroe, Chattanooga & New Mexico State
Arkansas: Georgia Southern & Arkansas Pine Bluff
Auburn: Alabama State & Georgia State
LSU: McNeese & UL Monroe
Ole Miss: Austin Peay & Liberty
South Carolina: Eastern Illinois & Troy
Texas A & M: Kent State & Prairie View A & M
I almost put a line about "unless you count Vandy" but left it out because not every SEC team gets to play them and the Big 12 has an even worse bottom dweller in Kansas that everyone plays.Yeah they did. I think you forgot about Vandy.
And that'll certainly be the case if the newly-configured Big 12 goes to an eight-game conference schedule. But it still sucks, especially for season-ticket holders.as long as CGP is the coach then we're getting one of these games.
TWSSPoll isn’t out yet
What kills me is the stacking of all the sec schools early on so when they lose 1 or 2 they stay ranked.
Then everyone crows about beating a ranked team and the rpi gets built up.
I have to hand it to them. They have manipulated the system the past 25 years.
You called it exactly!!!Let’s see….win 55-3 and drop three spots. Win by 42 should drop us about 5 spots. Going with 33rd.
I saw that and told Pharm that he hit it exactly!
You called it exactly!!!
We dropped from 28 to 33.
