UF Ranked #12

[alaskanseminole]

Unranked UF beats #7 Utah by a field goal, jumps to #12
#3 UGA decimates #11 Oregon and they drop from the rankings
#2 OSU beats #5 ND and ND drops 3 spots to #8

Preseason rankings are garbage. That is all.

Considering what we've been through, hellz yeah I'll take that!

Agree. Completely meaningless until halfway thru the season and maybe not even then.

It's generous to UF, not gonna lie. However, Notre Dame dropping 3 spots is normal for the past 20 years or so.

90% of the time you lose a top 10 match-up, you're gonna drop 2-4 spots.

Or fall 14 and out like Oregon...of course they were dominated by UGA, so there's that.

Figured we'd be more like 22ish - but I'll take it lol - anything to build confidence is a win at this stage.

If Oregon could have at least put a td on the board and lost by 30 they would still be ranked, imo. That was a loss of Vandy proportions.

The voters must think an awful lot of The Utes

#12 for us is a little high. I was thinking more along the lines of #17-#20. Oregon deserved to be dropped from the top 25. Did the voters not know preseason that they had Bo Nix at QB? 😂

yes, they are, and that's why the first week regular season poll seems to have bigger movements up and down, it's kind of a "re-set"

 

[GatorTheo]

I agree 12 is too high based on the performance. I have no problem with Oregon dropping out. They were crushed.

Coaches Poll feels more accurate - Gators #19

The Florida Gators received just 17 votes in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, but they have vaulted up to No. 19 after a week one win over preseason No. 7 (and now No. 15) Utah.

1-Bama, 2-UGA, 3-tOSU,
KY #20; Tenn not ranked

Why do they even have preseason rankings? They are never accurate

SInce the polls change every week, it could be said that they are never "accurate".

Yep they are really never “accurate” until the last game has been played. Usually by the end of the year the rankings “make sense”.

I would say they are only considered accurate because we stop having games and polls. If the season went a few more weeks the polls would continue changing. But yes, there are more accurate at the end of the year than the beginning, because voters have more data to base their decisions on.

Bo nix at QB plus Dillingham at OC lol that gets you 3 pts. I know all too well about the trash can OC he is....
