Where did I argue? I just posted the rankings, I didn't make the rankings. Personally I think Stanford is better than either Wisconsin or TCU.

Arkansas is the highest ranked 2-loss team in any polls. Did you really think that win would leapfrog them over 1-loss teams>

Stanford got whupped by Oregon so I'm going to have to disagree with you there.

And Wisconsin lost handily to Michigan St., what's your point? I'd guarantee Stanford would be favored over Wisconsin if they played head to head. Then again we might find out since I believe that's a possible Rose Bowl matchup.

I think no matter what your record is beating quality teams should be worth more than how many bum wins you have.

I agree with you there, unfortunately the pollsters don't. It's beyond stupid that the Big 10 has 3 teams ranked in the top 7. The only reason that happened is because of lack of quality non-conference opponents combined with the fact that the Big 10 is VERY top-heavy. There are at least 4-5 SEC teams that could probably beat up on any of those Big 10 teams.

I want to see Wisconsin beat LSU just for you, maybe Auburn or Alabama would do just as well.

I am indeed. He has given a verbal commitment to Miami, I hope it holds.

Be careful you might get lurked with those kinds of comments

But I agree even a down SEC when push comes to shove can probably out preform most teams, probably even some NFL teams lol.

I don't think LSU was a deserving #5 team though. It seems the pollsters agree.

I usually don't keep up with recruits, but if he's as good as everyone says he is, then I certainly hope he comes to us.

lol maybe if they get lucky and get a down pour like PSU got last year to slow down LSU it'll work out

Yeah I agree I think the SEC as a whole is just off this year.

He's really good, I'd be more worried he'd leave because Morris is playing pretty well then the coach getting fired.

Yeah I agree I think the SEC as a whole is just off this year.

With their tough defense and hard-nosed rushing attack I could see them giving any of the SEC teams a good game, especially if they could get their passing game going. I know they lost to MSU but they have gotten a lot better since then.

I agree somewhat, I just don't think they have the horses all around to keep up, although they're coach is ballsy as anyone so who knows.

I tend to agree with you there. The teams that were supposed to do well didn't, and the ones that were not did. Auburn and Arkansas are huge surprises though.

Tigers and Razorbacks are surprising, Alabama was going to take a step back anyway. Wisconsin definitely could beat Alabama in a good neutral setting, I think.

I wasn't to shocked Arkansas did well, but I was very shocked Auburn did, that defense wasn't anything to write home about, and I thought Cam while he would do well wouldn't do this well right away.

I'm so glad Alabama went backwards this year. I can't stand them and Nick Saban. I think Wisconsin is scary good this year, and I certainly believe they could beat Alabama handily just about anywhere.

That defense was pretty amazing against Alabama in that second half the other day.

Yeah it was impressive but they still gave up close to 30 points in one half of football maybe 40 if Bama had taken advantage of all the chances they had.
