THIS.
6-7 and 9-3 is not enough to erase the memory of 3-9.
....nor the memory of Muschamp's team falling apart in the 3rd year at Florida. Read that several times this offseason....everyone seems to be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
True, kinda puts that 26place opinion in perspective. I love the rest of the world looking past us.
When Muschamp fields a team that is higher than 100 in total offense, he will get major media backing, until then we are still unknown.
If we handle Coastal easily I think we will be ranked going into UGA week so they can have a CBS game with two ranked teams.
The Citadel did this to us! In several televised games last season, the announcers HAD to bring up our loss to the Cid's in 2015. That spot just won't wash out.
Nothing will ever come easy for us; nothing will ever be given to us. Anyone who hasn't made peace with those facts needs to.
Polls are for the fat cats ... Spot the ball and get this season going. I’m starting to feel like something special for 2018.
3-6-9-12?

Nor should it. Thanks, Department of Athletics. We deserved better than to be handed the likes of Whammy Ward when we were paying you and CSS millions of dollars to put us on the right track. In return we received less than half of his full attention and it crippled us for a yet to be decided length of time. CWM has his work cut out for him. I for one, HATE "the rest of the world looking past us". Loser talk. I am sad that we are back here, but looking forward to seeing what this new team looks like in a few weeks.
Michigan was the best win last year... by far. But it stands alone as the only quality win. Other wins verses teams with winning records include:
Wofford
La Tech (on a last minute FG)
and NC State in the opener (possibly could be argued as a quality win)
It's not just the 3-9 record or The Citadel loss that sticks in voters' minds.

Look at UCF, they beat a quality Auburn team and went undefeated and they're only ranked 21.
Yep... missed that one. However, I might not rate that one over the NC State win... maybe. They're close.
It would be nice to be ranked before the UGA game, but I seriously doubt beating a 3-9 Sun Belt team is enough to propel us into a top 25 ranking.
Oh I'm sure they'd squeeze us in at 25 with no problem. They want ratings and what better way to get ratings than advertise 2 ranked SEC rivals for a week?
Yep. 26 is the perfect spot to be in. Not too low where it's hard to dig out from but just low enough to motivate our boys to play extra hard because they weren't ranked.
These polls tickle my funny bone do they actually think the other 25 teams are actually better? The Mich. spots tells you that they just reach into a hat and pull out traditional names. We have a shocker coming for them.
They'll find a way to get us in so UGA can have an opportunity for a Top 25 road win...
Beat CCU and we're ranked for the UGA game. LSU is 25. No way they beat Miami week 1. At the rate their going half the team might be arrested.
I believe most overestimate the knowledge of these voters. I’m sure they know specifics about a few of the top teams but I guarantee you their list is filled with traditional powers. They feel they must put them in there instead of marginal teams like ours. The safer pick is Michigan because of their history.
Want to know if we can compete? Think in your mind if we could even compete with Alabama or Clemson. We can not. We have to prove it on the field. Others have said we will have to earn it, which is true. We have to have a big win, such as beat Georgia and continue to learn how to win big games. The clowns up north had to have some big program changing wins to build what the have now, way before any natty talk. The AP poll like many other things in life, it is a beauty contest, which is why Michigan is #14 We have a few black eyes, need a polishing win. UGA could be it.
The Good thing is, South Carolina Contols its own Destiny at this point!!
I just hope we don't get into the top 25 and then lose to Marshall or on the road to Vandy, or heaven forbid Kentucky. I'm good with staying out of the top 25 until after the Missouri game.
Those voters know the difference between apples and oranges. They also know that Auburn was finished after Georgia pounded on them in the SECCG.
I'm fine with 26th. Polls in August, September mean nothing anyway, except as a means of creating hype for the media darlings and keeping the blue bloods relevant.
But with that said...I seem to recall Alabama being ranked 24th in 2008 at the beginning of the season. Year before, Coach Saban was rebuilding and gaining depth. Then the season started by punching their #9-ranked opponent in the teeth (bonus that it was Clemson). Gained respect after that and shot up in the polls. They haven't looked back much.
Now I'm not saying we are going to get the same treatment that Bama got with that win, but it was still the catalyst for moving up. Punch Georgia in the teeth, and we'll get respect. There may be some players left over from the Spurrier era, but this is Muschamp's team, and I think they have their heads in the right place.
All just my humble, meager opinion...

They'd probably be in the top 15 or even the top 10 if Frost had returned.

UGA game will be a good indication if we deserve to be ranked.
And Captain Obvious....What hotel are you staying at tonight?
