USA Today Top 25, No Bama

[Toddrn]

Despite an impressive win by Ohio State, it's another Big Ten school that leads the NCAA Re-Rank 1-136 after Week 1 of college football season.

I hate to say it, but it looks about right for us. Our guys and coaches have a lot to prove now. If this doesn't put a Mt. Everest size chip on their shoulder, nothing ever will.

My goodness, when was the last time Alabama was not in the top 25?
(Not saying the ranking is undeserved, but its been a long time.)

 

[Cruloc]

More streaks broken by DeBoer. Nice job

 

[DzynKingRTR]

don't deserve to be ranked in the top 40 much less top 25

 

[BamaSC]

I wouldn’t have us anywhere near the top 25.

Might have been Saban's first season (2007) .

I can remember when Saban was breaking all kinds of records in the opposite direction...

 

[Tideflyer]

Haven’t done anything that warrants being ranked.

This isn’t a coaches or media poll, just the rankings of the USA Today sports department.

Good. If this doesn't light a fire, nothing will

A different realm of football we're living in. I just hope this will motivate the team like it used to. Except being out of the top 5 used to be enough to make a natty run.

That was what I was thinking.

Well deserved.

Thanks Kalen we really appreciate you taking the program and making it a doormat.

At least they're all getting paid now.

Thank you. I was just about to post this. I expect Bama to be 24-25 just on talent alone. If not, then it's deserved based on Saturday, but I still expect Bama to be in the top 25 in the actual polls. If they're not, I understand why, based on the eye test. The fact is, FSU will likely move into the top 15 for beating Bama. Polls like to have their cake and eat it too.

The "records" for Coach DeBoer are starting to pile up, and not one of them is positive.

There's no fire to light, the culture is broken.

Agree, 25th is about right. I hate to think how many games we will lose if there is not an immediate change.

Great week for me to pick to go see my daughter and go to the game---not to mention pay crazy prices for everything. Lots of these people in TTown that bought up tons of houses for VRBOs may be about to see the gravy train run off the tracks.
