Ole Miss distinguishes itself over PSU




So I guess we had to blowout Temple 53-0 in order to jump aheadof Ole Miss who won 52-0 over SE LA.  Is this the beginning of the PSU has a lousy schedule, lets penalize them, and make everyone lose before we move them up.  Just curious what everyone thinks about us staying at 5 and Ole Miss moving up.....besides the fact that they are OMG SEC  seventy five words is this

meh

PSU is one point behind Ole Miss. That’s a computer blip not a conspiracy. I’m not worried at all.

Yea

I just noticed that. Whoop de do.

Does anyone else feel that Miami is getting under-served? They’ve played very well so far.

I don’t care. Ole Miss will lose before we do. It’s called “the Houston Nutt factor”.

DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

It's also the "Ole Miss" factor...

I grew up in Oxford, MS (home of the University of Mississippi), though I went to pop’s Alm Mater (PSU) for College, tee-hee, and Ole Miss doesn’t need the Nutt factor, they will lose on their own historic merits. What nutt does for them is get them a pre-season top 10 ranking, but Ole Miss, the curse of Ole Miss, will find a way to lose all on it’s own. Personally I hope they run the table with our Dear Ole Lions, nothing would be better, for me, than watching Penn State put a beat down on the Rebs from the Sports Bar in Oxford. (Oh, and I’ll be in my PSU garb of course). Ahh, the things dreams are made of.

+1 for the historical info

Combined with Houston “Kiss this western division championship ring!” Nutt, Ole Miss won’t make it.

Well if somebody would put this nimrod out of his misery:

it would help us out considerably.

Apparently he didn't read the manual

If you have a wack pallot, you’re supposed to at least be a shameless homer for your local schools and conference(s).

Frankly, I don't care where we're ranked now anyway

we haven’t played anyone of any significant skill or threat. I don’t like being ranked so high, it scares me, and I’d prefer making our way up gradually than being given such a high spot already.

Along with the absurd betting line, that’s another reason for my nervousness.

agreed...

I COULDN"T care less about a ranking right now, in fact, I wish it wasn’t quite as high it is. It’s also not like we jumped unbeaten teams. Both us and Ole Miss have climbed because of loses to teams in front of us. Now – you can’t argue we’ve played some National Juggernauts here but Ole Miss has only played two games, including Memphis and the HighSchool also known as SELA. It’s all crap at this point. The polls don’t mean sqaut til conference play starts and yes, Ole Miss will lose at least one, maybe four. I say we worry about our Conf schedule, Ole Miss will take care of themselves as far as their loss.

What concerns me more is Texas and Florida – look at their schedules. There is maybe one legit chance for a team beating them from here on out… then again Washington 16, USC 13 – Booyahh!

Agree...

It may be only be my impression, because I don’t remember all the preseason and early rankings from year to year, but I think we do better when we’re underrated and have to move up in the polls than when we’re ranked high early. I can’t even think of the years to support that, but it makes me nervous being ranked this high this early.

For the glory
