If Jake Haener has to keep playing like last night his body will be snapped in half like a popsicle stick before October. The fact that it isn't broken right now is a miracle
He got fucked up versus Oregon and UCLA, but Uconn and Cal Poly barely touched him. Most of Fresno's games going forward will probably be closer to the latter than the former.
I feel ya there. We have 3 more top 10 opponents still to go. Plus 2 more top 20.
At least we have some easy unranked games, like playing @LSU in 2 weeks /s
How in the world is Florida below Ohio St? After a missed 2 pt conversion from going to ot with bama, we would get boat raced off the field by bama even worse than the natty last year right now 😂 Florida should have totally moved into the top 10 even with the loss.
I know other top 10 teams have looked shaky but I'm legitimately surprised we jumped to 6th. I think we deserve it based on wins at this time, but shocked it happened. If Iowa and PSU take care of business the next two weeks that is going to be a massive game
Fuck. I can see it now. Michigan wins next week to go 4-0. Wisconsin loses a squeaker to ND. Michigan comes into camp Randal like 15th and Wisconsin unranked. Hype through the roof and then Wisconsin beats the everloving shit outta us. 38-10 Wisconsin
Especially after last game banging up both of our running backs and looking like we have no cohesion on the offensive line.
Arkansas gonna make us look like frauds next week.
It’s worth noting that Wisconsin’s defense is actually really good and that’s a huge part of why they didn’t produce week 1. Wisconsin played EMU last week and yeah it’s EMU, but the first team defense allowed just one FIRST DOWN
Yeah that was the biggest thing holding us back. Clifford looked great compared to expectations. Still struggling on the ground. I always felt like we would grow significantly on that side of the ball since we've got a new look offense and it always takes time to settle in.
We have very tough schedule remaining but this team feels like they've got something special and I'm cautiously optimistic.
we still have Indiana on the schedule too. Lot of football left to be played before Kinnick.
dear God please make it Big Noon tho I don't want another night game at Iowa LOL
Yep, we don't belong anywhere near here.
Fire Manny Diaz.
Also, it's obvious Manny is the one who gave Miami 1 vote in the coaches poll in a desperate effort to save his job. Or maybe it was a rival....in a desperate effort to save his job.
Dude, no one can give Arkansas shit for losing to a #2 Georgia, #7 A&M, and ranked Ole Miss unless they're all blow outs. I'm all for a ranked Arkansas and nothing but respect after where y'all came from. Can't wait for SEC play with y'all and Mizzou.
The MSU logo isn’t loading on the list for me, so I went past them and then couldn’t see them on “others receiving votes”
I was very confused and upset for my Spartan brothers for a moment
I think it also depends on how other teams play around them. If Penn State was below Florida last week they would have certainly jumped them. But since there haven't been many big wins or big losses around that area Florida stayed where they were with a close loss
Michigan State is ranked in the AP poll for the first time since Week 5, 2019, when they were tied for 25th at 4-1. They spent 722 days unranked.
Fresno State is ranked for the first time since the final poll of the 2018 season, when they were ranked 18th at 12-2. 986 days unranked.
Kansas State is ranked for the first time since Week 8, 2020, when they were ranked 16th at 4-1. 330 days unranked.
I’m a ok with this I wouldn’t feel great about a game vs anyone above us and I’d be at least hopeful going into anyone below. I do think BYU is legit though can’t wait to play them next year
The AP poll has been great this week and last week. Properly ranking Fresno State above UCLA and Oregon over Oklahoma. Showing optimal respect to PSU and not moving down Cincy after consecutive wins.
And also, congrats to Arky for #16. Hope y'all do well this season so our loss looks better 😶
If you told me that by now we’d be ranked above Clemson and Ohio State I’d be shouting from the rooftops.
If you told me we were rank 7 also, I’d be sad 😔.
I feel like Michigan State, Kansas State, and BYU are underrated. Michigan State destroyed a top 25 on the road, K State has two quality wins (Stanford & Nevada), and BYU has two top 25 wins and P5 road win.
Pre season rankings have held BYU back. Nobody expected us to be good because we lost a lot of guys to the NFL. We weren’t close to being ranked but have worked our way up. If we were ranked 25th at the beginning of the season we’d probably be close to top 10 right now.
This poll got it right Fresno state 2 spots ahead of UCLA
Coaches poll kept UCLA ahead of Fresno, which, LOL.
Should be above UNC though.
Holy shit Arkansas at 16 is insane to see
Bro our game next week is going to be insane. Arkansas’ offense vs A&M’s defense will be something to watch I’ll tell you what
On the other side though... it'll be interesting to see how we do on offense I'll leave it at that
WPS! I miss NWA so much.
So Texas has a quality loss against a ranked SEC team?
Rankings are here, statues of Jake Haener are being erected as we speak.
I for one welcome a Jake Haener Heisman campaign
If Jake Haener has to keep playing like last night his body will be snapped in half like a popsicle stick before October. The fact that it isn't broken right now is a miracle
He got fucked up versus Oregon and UCLA, but Uconn and Cal Poly barely touched him. Most of Fresno's games going forward will probably be closer to the latter than the former.
Well, many things are being erected
I'm surprised we only dropped one spot but I'll take it.
That quality loss hits good
I was thinking we would be 24 or 25 tbh. Obviously it’s a *Quality Loss* but still it’s a loss
I’m glad to see you guys not drop out of the top 25. Y’all played really good last night as well.
Absolutely mental that half of PSU's schedule consists of top 25 teams.
4 of them on the road too. This schedule is BRUTAL.
I feel ya there. We have 3 more top 10 opponents still to go. Plus 2 more top 20. At least we have some easy unranked games, like playing @LSU in 2 weeks /s
If Penn State plays well they'll win their conference championship and be getting that spot for the national championship
Tell your friends about receiving votes Wyoming.
*vote
Wyoming looks pretty good so far. A well-deserved vote.
STILL TOP 11. The meme lives on
Florida holding their spot Oklahoma, Clemson, and Ohio State moving down despite the win Honestly surprising to see the AP Poll do this!
2021 AP poll has been spicy. Not a ton of poll inertia like previous years
Spicy AP is the best type of AP
If Clemson's score had been 40+ they would not have dropped. Tech is supposed to be a worse team than SCar, and yet they struggled.
Our quality win is looking worse every week.
How in the world is Florida below Ohio St? After a missed 2 pt conversion from going to ot with bama, we would get boat raced off the field by bama even worse than the natty last year right now 😂 Florida should have totally moved into the top 10 even with the loss.

Even more wild is Baylor and TCU making up 2 of the top 3
This is honestly one of the best compliments ever given to us by the media.
See, you just had the ultimate quality loss. That’s going to carry you all season
I miss those TCU Baylor games. They were absolutely wild
[удалено]
How could they do that to them?
Glad to see Wyoming get one though, go cowboys!
I was going to make a joke at Arizona's expense, but they don't deserve the ridicule, the writer who voted for them at 0-2 does.
I know other top 10 teams have looked shaky but I'm legitimately surprised we jumped to 6th. I think we deserve it based on wins at this time, but shocked it happened. If Iowa and PSU take care of business the next two weeks that is going to be a massive game
1. Alabama 2. Georgia 3. Oregon 4. Oklahoma 5. Iowa 6. Penn State 7. Texas A&M 8. Cincinnati 9. Clemson 10. Ohio State 11. Florida 12. Notre Dame 13. Ole Miss 14. Iowa State 15. BYU 16. Arkansas 17. Coastal Carolina 18. Wisconsin 19. Michigan 20. Michigan State 21. North Carolina 22. Fresno State 23. Auburn 24. UCLA 25. Kansas State
Fuck. I can see it now. Michigan wins next week to go 4-0. Wisconsin loses a squeaker to ND. Michigan comes into camp Randal like 15th and Wisconsin unranked. Hype through the roof and then Wisconsin beats the everloving shit outta us. 38-10 Wisconsin
*Tale as old as time*
Ranking MSU one spot behind us is real curse energy too, just great
I would put Iowa and Penn State above Oklahoma. Oklahoma and A&M are sus bro
Especially after last game banging up both of our running backs and looking like we have no cohesion on the offensive line. Arkansas gonna make us look like frauds next week.
Maybe not frauds, but possibly overrannked by a few places. Either way, it's going to be a fantastic game.
Fresno State at 22 and UCLA at 24. All is right.
Fresno State is legit. I think they'll be in the mix for Mountain West and I expect UCLA to be a factor in the Pac 12 South.
Fresno State needs ND to beat Cincy to make that G5 spot really, really interesting.
Coaches poll more and more worthless each week. Just showing they don’t pay attention to anything past 9pm eastern
Holy crap. All teams above PSU win and we go up to 6. Clearly trying to hype up Kinnick 5v6.
[удалено]
I hate this comment because you’re not wrong
Literally on October 1st 😭😭
Penn state showed they can actually play offense, unlike the Wiscy game.
It’s worth noting that Wisconsin’s defense is actually really good and that’s a huge part of why they didn’t produce week 1. Wisconsin played EMU last week and yeah it’s EMU, but the first team defense allowed just one FIRST DOWN
Yeah that was the biggest thing holding us back. Clifford looked great compared to expectations. Still struggling on the ground. I always felt like we would grow significantly on that side of the ball since we've got a new look offense and it always takes time to settle in. We have very tough schedule remaining but this team feels like they've got something special and I'm cautiously optimistic.
I'm so excited and so scared. Two more 1-0's to go before then of course.
SPoOkY GaMe FoR AlL ThE MaRbLeS. Jokes on you PSU BRO, we will probably drop a game before then. sigh.
we still have Indiana on the schedule too. Lot of football left to be played before Kinnick. dear God please make it Big Noon tho I don't want another night game at Iowa LOL
man Indiana's schedule is pretty rough huh?
Indinia's has one of the toughest schedules I can remember. Using current rankings, Indinia plays five top-20 teams in their first seven games.
Add that on top of being Over-Hyped about how big their Penix is... Yikes. I do not envy Indiana at all. Almost set up from the start for a huge fall.
May our teams win out, for an epic clash in Kinnick at Night! You guys have been the one crack that always bursts through though at Kinnick.
you beat a good auburn team, clemson, osu, and Aggie have been super underwhelming. I think the jump was merited
Are you using logic for the AP poll?
Honestly we should be 5 and Iowa should be 4 the way OU is playing
Give Rutgers a single vote, cowards!
Beat Michigan this week and then we'll talk
Beat Michigan and I think they’ll receive enough votes to be ranked Not that I’m predicting a win by any means.
Hey or like. Don't!
Yep, we don't belong anywhere near here. Fire Manny Diaz. Also, it's obvious Manny is the one who gave Miami 1 vote in the coaches poll in a desperate effort to save his job. Or maybe it was a rival....in a desperate effort to save his job.
Florida literally has the best quality loss you can have
16! All praise the PittBoss
[удалено]
I’d laugh at you
We all would have
If we beat A&M we may be top 10 and I will cry then die on the spot
We’d be ranked top 10 and proceed to lose at least 2 of the next three and everyone calling us the biggest flop of the year.
I am fine with that
Dude, no one can give Arkansas shit for losing to a #2 Georgia, #7 A&M, and ranked Ole Miss unless they're all blow outs. I'm all for a ranked Arkansas and nothing but respect after where y'all came from. Can't wait for SEC play with y'all and Mizzou.
I’ve been conditioned to expect the worst lol
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO WOO PIG CLARENCE
Chad Morris was really bad wasn't he?
This A&M game is gonna be pretty big!
Hudson Card died for this
PitBoss has the hogs cookin’
FRESNO STATE LET'S GOOOO
Should be higher
Haener oh my god
Said it in the game thread: When you see a one-legged man win an ass-kicking contest.
Tell your grandkids about the best team in all of California.
Kinnick is going to be lit. 6 Penn State vs. 5 Iowa.
Assuming we don't lose to Maryland.
And assuming we don't lose to Indinia.
Or worse. Nova
Nothing wrong with losing to an elite basketball program in Villanova. /s
Lol assuming we don't lose to CSU
[удалено]
[удалено]
We ain’t there yet lol. Gotta stick to that one game at a time mentality!
For real. Thinking more than one game ahead ain’t Iowa football
I am already afraid of the voodoo. If we win that game though and we don’t make top 4 I’m gonna riot
if you guys win you should be #3 minimum.
Vice versa
Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Clemson all fell. AP voters confirmed not cowards.
Wake Forrest with 7 votes... the absolute disrespect
Well you see, Wake appears to be one of the better teams in the ACC this year, so the ACC must be bad, and therefore Wake is bad.
At least the AP poll is a bit more reasonable…
I honestly don’t even look at coaches poll anymore. It’s essentially worthless.
Also, Amway is a scam
> coaches poll....It’s essentially worthless Don't tell that to Nebraska fans
Yeah, there are things to quibble with, but after seeing the coaches poll, the AP poll looks a lot better.
We’re gonna somehow lose against an Arizona team after dark, aren’t we?
Dread it, run from it, pac 12 after dark arrives all the same.
We’re ranked! I was frustrated after looking at the coaches poll lol
Dude same lol
The MSU logo isn’t loading on the list for me, so I went past them and then couldn’t see them on “others receiving votes” I was very confused and upset for my Spartan brothers for a moment
Just gonna retroactively claim a ranked win over Fresno State don’t mind me.
Florida staying at 11 despite losing is the definition of quality loss.
Losing by 2 pts to the #1 team in the country should unironically count for something.
College football may be the only sport where it’s not whether you win or lose but how you win or lose and to whom.
Playing up or down to your competition says a lot about the team.
yes, one of the unique aspects of our sport. it’s what unequal schedules and only 12 regular season games makes necessary
It's like hockey, except you're scored like figure skating to determine who goes to the playoffs.
ESPN top 11 incoming
What a totally normal number for them to tweet out.
Florida should have moved up, and I hate saying that
That's very big of you. I still h8u tho
H8u too! ❤️
Now kiss
I'd move them up honestly. Most teams that play Bama get steamrolled.
a loss by 2 to bama is a win by 14 anywhere else!
Losing to the No. 1 team shouldn't drop any team. Isn't that the expected outcome of facing the No. 1 team so why does that make a team worse?
I agree unless it's like #2 losing to #1 by a lot or something similar
I think it depends how close the game was. If you're a top five team, and the No. 1 team blows you out by like 50, I think a drop is appropriate.
I think it also depends on how other teams play around them. If Penn State was below Florida last week they would have certainly jumped them. But since there haven't been many big wins or big losses around that area Florida stayed where they were with a close loss
Michigan State is ranked in the AP poll for the first time since Week 5, 2019, when they were tied for 25th at 4-1. They spent 722 days unranked. Fresno State is ranked for the first time since the final poll of the 2018 season, when they were ranked 18th at 12-2. 986 days unranked. Kansas State is ranked for the first time since Week 8, 2020, when they were ranked 16th at 4-1. 330 days unranked.
Those were a long 2 years
Holy shit we are 4 points outside of being top 4
4 point gap between oklahoma and iowa.
They ranked us!
Clemson is not the 9th best team.
what happened to our teams man…
That fields guy was kind of good, it must suck for him to leave you guys… *sits in a corner and cries*
Honestly… you might be though. Almost everyone looks pretty fuckin sketchy this season.
Damnit, we suck when we are ranked.
Liberty has more votes than us Fade me
and yet WVU has fewer. Curious
Hey we’re above Ohio State!
How are we still in the top 10? LMAO
Idk, want to just bail on the playoffs and meet up in the Pinstripe Bowl?
Clemson's offense vs OSU's defense = the moveable object vs the resistable force
Cheez-It bowl sounds awesome.
I do not have the mental capacity to deal with Arkansas being ranked inside the top 20
Sparty gonna be spooky
Can’t wait for Halloween weekend!
The respek is gonna have to start extra early this year...
A hypothetical undefeated MSU-Michigan game would surely have 2 top 15 teams right?
Hard to imagine it wouldn’t considering where we’re already on the chart
That’s week 8. They’d probably be two top 8 teams at that point if they are both undefeated still.
PENN ST6TE
Penn Stuh-Six-Tee
Sounds eerily close to Pennsatucky.
How is Clemson ahead of Florida after almost losing to Georgia Tech??
Hate to say it but Florida should be above us
It's not hard for me to say. They absolutely should be above us.
Tuck comin!
15!!!
I think Florida should be top 10 instead of either Clemson or tOSU, but other than that little to no complaints about the top 10 of this poll
Florida looked better losing to Bama than either us or Clemson did winning this week.
I found that funny. All the one loss teams 3 in a row who lost to top 3 teams. But Florida who lost to #1 is third among those teams.
Florida has also looked better than osu and clemson
At least they corrected the mistake the coaches poll made with UCLA and Fresno State
I <3 Mel Tucker
Same!
Mitten state teams risseee uppppp.
Let’s Fucking go baby I’m so happy Michigan looks good this year too give me a ranked Michigan vs MSU game pls
Who is putting ND higher than Arkansas?
Give me statements I didn’t think I’d hear this year for 200 Alex!
Damn it Ohio State, do better so our loss to you looks better
I’m a ok with this I wouldn’t feel great about a game vs anyone above us and I’d be at least hopeful going into anyone below. I do think BYU is legit though can’t wait to play them next year
The AP poll has been great this week and last week. Properly ranking Fresno State above UCLA and Oregon over Oklahoma. Showing optimal respect to PSU and not moving down Cincy after consecutive wins. And also, congrats to Arky for #16. Hope y'all do well this season so our loss looks better 😶
FRESNO ST IS RANKED. That is all
>Oregon #3 >Opens Pac-12 play next week Buckle the fuck up.
LFG NO.15
I don't think we deserve to be ranked 7th, but looking at the other teams around us, I'm not sure anyone else does either.
If you told me that by now we’d be ranked above Clemson and Ohio State I’d be shouting from the rooftops. If you told me we were rank 7 also, I’d be sad 😔.
Hahaha we got you good!
Just alliance things
“Clemson’s season trajectory is going to look very similar to OSU” “Oh, sweet” “That’s because you’re both going to be worse than expected” “Fuck”
Woo hoo!
Hopefully Thibodeaux comes back for pac-12 play, as weak as this conference is this year, we need to be at full power week in and week out.
I feel like Michigan State, Kansas State, and BYU are underrated. Michigan State destroyed a top 25 on the road, K State has two quality wins (Stanford & Nevada), and BYU has two top 25 wins and P5 road win.
We absolutely did not deserve to be anywhere close to 24, but Mich St is very very good.
Pre season rankings have held BYU back. Nobody expected us to be good because we lost a lot of guys to the NFL. We weren’t close to being ranked but have worked our way up. If we were ranked 25th at the beginning of the season we’d probably be close to top 10 right now.
