Duke looks real good (again.) Georgia Tech is not that bad either.

When the supposed "heavy" (VPI) sucks, it gives the impression that the division truly is a dumpster fire.

AA - correct but thats not the same thing. There was reason to think Auburn might not repeat - no Cam, Fairly etc.

FSU was preseason #1 - you dont often see that team demoted after a 18 pt win

First, I have never agreed on a birthright the next year because you won a championship the previous year.

But to this specific issue, the pollsters (AP and Coaches) jumped MissState because they disemboweled a top 5 team. I can't imagine how it's a negative for FSU. In fact, I would LOVE being jumped if I were Jimbo. Gives you an Us vs Them angle, and might keep the players heads smaller. And, in the end, the net effect is nil. It just doesn't matter one iota with a season's goals.

yup

So we all agree its fairly unusual for #1 to be demoted after an 18 pt victory.

Okay.

Does it even matter?

The only poll that matters is the subjective decision of 12 people who are having some conference call sometime later this evening. And no matter what, FSU will be in the top 4 tonight (just like they were last week.)

No it doesnt matter at all - I just find it curious and worth some discussion. Miss St "struggled" with Kentucky and Arkansas and didnt get the same punishment FSU did.

But if Miss St wins out - they will hands down deserve the #1 ranking - if they dont FSU will get it back anyway.

Just passing some time!!

All these non SEC schools don't even have real teams.

I don't think they punished FSU as much as they rewarded MSU for throttling Auburn.

I do find it funny that the playoff is generating just as many claims of bias and unfairness as the BCS.

And we are only two weeks in.... today.

Popular sport, is it not?

Winston's hearing, inquest, star chamber appearance or whatever has been scheduled for the week of Nov. 17th

Gives you an Us vs Them angle

This hasn't really been an issue this year.

Poor Chris Davis thats the definition of being posterized right there.

Next up: Jameis and his friend accused of pointshaving.

I think this is bogus. At this point, it's becoming silly.

Here's the story on the allegation:

*Update* As of 9:45 AM est.. IBN attempted to reach out to Chris Rabb via phone and someone did answer the cell phone, we asked if he had any comment on "alleged" gambling rumors that involved him and his former high school teammate Jameis Winston, his answer was brief "Fuck boy how did you get my number?.. mind your business boy" that's when the phone hung up. - See more at: http://www.ibnsportswrap.com/article.ph ... vjJET.dpuf

Cool, that should guarantee a victory this weekend against the Hoos. Can't wait to see what comes out for the Miami (of Florida) game.
