I am shocked Florida stayed in the top 25...

State is #28.

 

[KentuckyDawg13]

Western KY, Navy, OK St & Washington St should all be below MSU.
#BS

 

[dawgstudent]

So two SEC east teams that won 10 games - Florida and Georgia are #25 and #26 in the AP poll.

 

[RocketDawg]

Probably was that big win over the Bears that did it.

Florida looked like a 3-9 team for half the season. No idea how they stayed in the Top 25.

Ridiculous. Florida was a top 20 team easily until Grier got busted. They weren't a top 40 team without him.

 

[dawgstudent]

Georgia might be the only team ever to win 10 and not be in the top 25.

 

[shotgunDawg]

MSU is the 1st SEC team to win at least 9 games & finish outside of the top 25 since 2003 Arkansas

True. Georgia may have just made history.

This just shows you the ridiculous political correctness that has infected college football. Western Kentucky? Navy? Northwestern? Florida? beating MSU?

ridiculous

The pollsters got caught with their pants down this year because they had bad teams ranked way too high & they had too far to fall to drop them out of the top 25 for only losing one game.

Georgia may be the worst 10-3 SEC team in history.

We at least had an impressive win at Arkansas when they were playing like one of the best teams in the SEC. Georgia had absolutely no wins over anybody with a pulse. Their best wins were against 7-6 Auburn and 7-6 Penn State. Also, Florida absolutely destroyed them with Treon Harris at quarterback, they beat Mizzou in a 9-6 field goal kicking contest and had to go to OT to beat Georgia Southern. I would put us ahead of Georgia, even though we have a worse record.

Do you think UGA would have been in the Top 25 if Richt was still head coach?

UGA was a crazy bad 10-3 SEC team, but they weren't that bad. They are towards the bottom of the top 25, but they are in the top 25. Look at Western Kentucky. Who was their best win? A 3 pt win over La Tech? Navy's signature win was against Memphis, a pretty good win but no better than an Arkansas win, certainly not enough to justify them being 18th.

Looking at the rankings, MSU should definitely be in also, at least over the teams there; maybe there are other unranked teams that are better. Tennessee is probably about right, but their best win is probably UGA. Their argument is that they were competitive in losses. NOrthwestern's resume doesn't look any better than State's. They got blown out (and shutout) by good teams and won a couple of games against pretty good teams. Basically the same as state's except even worse losses and one more solid win. Who is Wisconsin's good win? Minnesota I guess?

Just goes to show you what laying a big fat egg in all your important games will get you. A lot of the MSU fan base is riding high after we pummeled NCST to reach 9 wins, but its just another example of the emperor not having any clothes. NCST finished 7-6 and their best win was Boston College. We didn't deserve the top 25, and I'm not surprised. Beating Auburn and Arkansas was nice, but not enough when the rest of our win column was filled with creme puffs.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Northwestern's resume doesn't look any better than State's? What? They have a win against the team that won the Rose Bowl and finished ranked #3 in the country. Wake me up when Mullen gets a win over a team that finishes the season ranked in the top five. Northwestern definitely deserves to be ranked with 10 wins and a win over Stanford.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

State is definitely one of the top 25 teams. The Dogs lacked a signature win this year, but State would beat the Shiite out of several teams in the top 25. There's not a team in the SEC East that State would not have defeated in a bowl. Tennessee gets a lot of love, but I say State was slightly better. And don't get me started on navy, WKU, Northwestern, etc. 3 scores better than any of those chumps. We were likely the 4th or 5th best team in the SEC, the conference that ***** slapped opponents in the postseason. This final poll is garbage.

Yeah, that was bad. The app I was looking at scores on only shows ten games if you don't scroll down and I wasn't scrolling down. I may have missed some good wins from the 1st or 2nd game on teh scheduel of the other teams I mentioned also.
