Wow. I have never heard such outright bias during a review. Hate the Canes, but that was awful. @AustinR___ @JeremyRFLA

Why is #20 still allowed out there on special teams? Not his day so far
Another costly play by the Gators on special teams as they give up a 63-yard punt return touchdown by Ryan Niblett.
SCORE: Texas 17, Florida 3 (11:27 2Q)

Unless that’s where they belong 🙄
If Mississippi States one spot drop feels off to you, it’s because it is.
In the history of college football there have only been two cases where a team fell less than 10 spots in the AP Top 25 after a 30+ point loss this early in the season.
1994 Tennessee fell 8 spots
1984 UCLA fell 9 spots
So yes, Miss States falling only one spot is not only an anomaly, it’s statistically unbelievable.

I would add, this is like the people who idolize “the way Europe (or Canada or Japan, etc) does it” and try to push the USA that way, when we don’t do it that way EXACTLY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THEM and we don’t want to be!
I'd flip this statement, only CFB fans understand what made CFB different from all these others.
That's entirely the point.
Everyone is so hell bent on making CFB like everything else when its uniqueness was a lot of what made it special.

Next level @OldTakesExposed. This could be a special category all its own.
It won’t matter except they’ll be starting over again. Meaning, the wait for what they want in Gainesville just got longer. I’ve said this before and I will again. The @GatorsFB fan base is TOXIC. I’ve known @ScottStricklin a long time and he now must again cave to the wishes of their fans. He better go outside the box for this hire because that’s what it’s gonna take! Fans hate reading the word “TOXIC”, and I get that. Not that many others aren’t, but they fail in understanding the history of their program. In the long history of @SEC Football their program even with their State is the most challenged of any Southern State. Truth is in the years before Spurrier there were no Championships, and that History isn’t recognized whatsoever by their base. AlabamaFTBL owns their State, but there’s some room for Auburn. @LSUfootball is KING and even @GreenWaveFB and the @RaginCajuns have their history and some success. GeorgiaFootball same thing. @GTFootball has room to be good as well, but in Florida there’s no longer just @FSUFootball in the competition for players within the state is incredible.Options are all around you in the Sunshine State. In this era of CFB, it’s not just about recruiting it’s more the bank roll of the school and its donors. Florida as an Institution must make some difficult decisions as to how bought in they are in conjunction with their rabid fan base that’s never pleased! Schools better understand the BRAND NAMES are never gonna dominate the way they once did. Saban read the tea leaves and got out. @Lane_Kiffin has done the same thing and he now knows a place like @OleMissFB can be just as successful but if they’re not in a given year he won’t be hung in effigy! Had @DanMullen_ESPN stayed @HailStateFB he’d already have a statue. He left for the Gators. Now he’s in Vegas making half as much money, but is a helluva lot happier!

Some egregious voting in spots (looking at you @e10sports). Those with UF in 10-15 range have it right. Put them in top 5 and you’re either a homer or just bad at your job.

And this explains some of the “logic” that goes into polls 🙄
Since you asked nicely, I’ll actually explain!
Last week, I had Ole Miss at No. 5 and Florida rounding out my ballot at No. 25.
In my eyes, giving UF a 10-spot bump for one game a month into the season seemed like a fair move.
I didn’t want to put a team I had 25th all the way up into the top 10 (unless it was like the first week), especially since while their offense is obviously great, their defense is… shaky.
Ole Miss I still have top-10 because I’m very high on them still and they do have that great win over LSU (I intentionally placed them ahead of the Tigers because of H2H).
