The mighty Georgia Bulldogs blew out the best intramural team in the ACC, proving that they deserved a higher rank than Alabama.

yeah that's stupid. Bama had two losses - both to playoff teams including the national champ and beat Georgia on a neutral field.

I couldn't believe Michigan's defense was so good. I doubted that team all year. 

I thought they were good, but good in the sense they got to play teams like Iowa and Penn State and other dinosaur offenses in the B1G.

But they were legit.

Surprise surprise, the ONE Pac-12 voter (Jon Wilner) had us ranked all the way down at #7, behind Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, and Florida State. He was also the only voter to not have Washington at #2, pushing them all the way down to #4 behind Alabama and Georgia.

At least Kirk Bohls put us at #3.

The Big 10 west definitely has broken the advanced stats when it comes to defense. Even on the ones that are "opponent adjusted" it makes it seem like 5 of the top 20 defenses in the country are in the worst division of any power 5 conference. 

That said, Michigan's defense this year was insane. Dumping Don Brown to bring in the ravens D, first with McDonald, and now with Minter, was the move that saved Jim Harbaugh's job and got Michigan a National Championship. 

As crazy as it sounds, I would rather Harbaugh go to the NFL and Minter stay in AA next year with Sherrone as head coach, than to lose Minter. Dude is a wizard, to have such perfect game plans against Bama and Washington is amazing.

That was the whole thing with their old DC Don Brown. Under him Michigan would always have the nation's #1 defense heading into the Ohio State game, then get roasted. But Michigan finally figuring out how to stop Ohio State once Urban left got them over the top.

They can spout whatever bullshit they want about us, but no aggy under the age of 84 has seen a season as good as we had this year.

They haven’t seen an aggy season that good. They’ve seen plenty of Texas seasons that good.

  5. Alabama
  6. Florida State
  7. Oregon
  8. Missouri

So Oregon (lost twice to Wash) is 2nd

Georgia just lost to Bama is 3rd

Bama who lost to Texas is 5th

Texas is 6th beat Bama and who just lost to Washington (beat #2 Oregon twice) who was 2nd and is now 9th

Penn State is 7th lol

I know this poll has its place, but the snapshot from today seems out of touch
