Just a few days left before it starts (I just don't have the feeling) and the re-rankings are out. Whatever they are.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2016/08/30/1-128-college-football-rerank-alabama-ohio-state-florida-state-clemson/89537594/AU is seventh in the SEC behind UA, UT, UGA, Old Pee, UF, LSU.
Also behind Louisville, Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, Iowa, Texas and North Carolina all of which i disagree with.
I find it amusing that you have to look down the list past Western Michigan, Louisiana Tech and Memphis (among others) to find Arkansas. And then you have to drill on past Southern Miss, Appy State, Navy and Temple (among others) to find A&M. Once there, you have to plumb further through Air Force, Marshall, Washington State and Northern Illinios (among others) to get to Mississippi State.
But we are picked last in the west?
Ok. Whatever.
South Carolina is 84th. Below everybody.
Also noticed that Bama's HUGE opening week game, the springboard to their eleventy-fourtwice title? The USC Trojans are buried at 35 on this list. Behind us. A little above Arkansas.
From this list for this weekend:
Old Pee #15 vs. #2 Gang Rape S U
AU #29 vs. #5 Clempson
LSU vs. #27 Wisconsin
UA(t) #1 vs. #35 Trojans
UT #12 vs. #43 App State
So Carolina #84 vs. #79 Vandy ( I will stay up for this one)
Hogs #40 vs. #33 La. Tech
A&M #46 vs. #4 UCLA
UGA #24 vs. North Carolina #22 (overrated Heels)
Florida #23 vs. #127 UMass (next to last)
Kentucky #74 vs. Southern Miss #45
Here's what's going to happen.
Bama will skull fuck USC and because it's a "traditional" power, it gives them a one-loss lead over everybody else. IOW they have to lose two to suffer the same damage as anybody else losing one.
Florida will destroy the second worst team in football and be pronounced "back." Top Ten ranking.
LSU will ground and pound Wisconsin and win by 10+ with some late scores.
Georgia will blister the Tar Heels and Kirby Smart will be hailed as the next Saban. Georgia will lose four or five.
Old Pee will knock off FSU and be declared the only challenge to Bama in the West. They will go on to lose four games.
The Vols will beat the eyebrows off App State after a shaky first half. Josh Dobbs will be in the Heisman discussion after Week One. They will also lose at least three games.
A&M makes a game of it with UCLA (vastly overrated). Hog fans give Bert a raise. He spends it on at DXL on four track suits.
Arkansas will stumble around with La Tech and look bad doing it. I think they win, but it will be on some game saving fuckup by Tech late in the fourth.
Kentucky and USM will play. Nobody will give a fuck and it won't change anything.
Vandy will come close to spoiling Will Muschamp's debut, but he will win and bleed from four orifices.
I do not want to talk about what's going to happen in Auburn.
