I’m just glad to see that Tennessee is still better than Florida. I was worried after Florida drug them up and down the field all night that Florida might be better than Tennessee. Glad to see I was wrong.

Agree!
Polls don’t matter until November!
FACT, we have plenty of ranked teams on our Schedule! FSU, Notre Dame, UNC, Miami….
Losing to Duke means we can’t lose another game if we have championship goals.
Two losses and we are toast in the rankings. Same every year.
We have to win each game, each week, one at the time.
Each game is our most important game this year.
Start with FSU this week!
Go Tigers, Beat FSU!!

Not this is not always the case, but the playoffs really did start right after the Duke game.
Every game is now an elimination game.

Yet somehow Alabama, who was winning 10-3 with 5 minutes to go against USF, only drops 3 spots???
What an absolute load

Yet somehow FSU only dropped from 3 to 4 despite being a BC penalty away from BC getting in position to beat FSU via a FG.
As long as the highly rated schools don’t lose to a mid-level team, then they don’t lose much ground when beating a mediocre team in a tight game.

At least they didn't jump right back in the top 4 the way they will by the end of the season. A playoff without Bama in the schedule wouldn't seem fair or natural

All that matters is finding a way to win! Polls do carry some weight, but this team has to face each game like it’s them against everybody and hit the man in front of you so hard he FEELS it on into next season.

Yes, but that's only bc they are bigger, faster, taller, and smarter in the SEC, just ask ESECPN employees, they'll tell you all about that!!!

If you don’t think this team is a top 25 team you are crazy.
Definitely top 25. CFP caliber? Not yet, but if we can get by FSU and gain some confidence and grow we got a chance.

I am not sure about that. I kinda think if we beat FSU that FSU falls to number 25 and we stay just outside the top 25.
I thought we played well enough this week to send the message that the coaching staff is getting things fixed and we even fell in the coaches poll.
I guess when you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not.

we played.
We struggled for half a game against a terrible team, and had a half of a good showing against a bad team.
We absolutely do not deserve to be ranked.
Obviously if we beat FSU we will catapult up to like 15 or something.

No kidding, I love my Tigers, but FAU came out in the 3rd and 4th Q and whopped the Tigers, FAU is basically a DIV I High School Team, Tigers will have to have a 360 degree personality change to beat Florida State they "aint" no joke. I have a feeling the Tigers wont see the top 25 for a while.

Just keep winning! FSU, Cuse, Wake and Miami may have records of 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0 when we play each of them.

I see it coming when the Tigers beat FSU, the experts and pollsters will say FSU was overrated and then manipulate the polls to get 4 more SEC teams in the top 25.

Great Opportunity will present itself vs. FSU.
Looking down the road - Notre Dame as well.
If Duke keeps up its winning ways and people realize the Blue Devils are better than their perception "at least this season" we are good to go.
Just keep winning the Tigers!
Likely would have to beat FSU twice!

We got embarrassed by Duke on national tv and have not played anyone since. Just reality. Hoping to throttle FSU and make that Duke game a distant memory.

So here’s one for you. Texas and Duke finished last season ranked 25th and 26th in the AP.
Duke opens with a top 10 win, most impressive win of the weekend (LSU is good but not great, FSU).
Both team undefeated with top 10 wins in 2023, Texas is now 3, Duke is…18th.
And yes, Duke has a better QB and everything else is arguable but I’d bet on Duke in a neutral site game.

I would not go that far. Let’s see how they do with the Target on their back and teams not taking them for granted.
I don’t think they could beat Texas.

When people like me talk about "brand degradation", it is stuff like this that we are referring to. Clemson being out of the conversation as top 25 team is NOT good for the Clemson brand.

Truthfully, we should be ranked ahead of about 10 of these teams. We will jump onto the scene next week after beating the snot puke out of FSU!
We’ll make LSU look bad!
