Worth noting the ACC will probably also be 2026 after this weekend, since 4-0 Duke just dropped from 101 votes and #27 to 83 votes and #29 while on a bye

A win at Georgia Tech on ESPN2 would probably move them up enough to go from 29 to 25.

The top ten P4 teams in the AP poll exactly a year ago today were the same ten P4 teams that made the CFP.

So, ESPN has been running their propaganda since before they existed.

Makes sense. The SEC is clearly the best conference.

The AP and SEC bag men go way back. It just means more under the table shenanigans.

Heck, that Greg Luca guy pushed MSU up 8 spots after Bama beat them like they stole something. He also dropped Pitt after they beat vatech at Blacksburg. AP=Clown shoes.

Yes, we know the @AP_Top25 is a joke. Yes, Nebraska hasn't earned a Top 25 ranking. Both things can be true.

Try scheduling a P4 opponent out of conference before you cry about rankings in October

I could list 25 teams at random, and it means the same as the ap poll. Nothing. Until the committee meets, there's nothing to get worked up about.

Proves strength of conference decade after decade. They can’t all be wrong. But somehow you’re always right 🙄

Lowkey Cincinnati wouldve been unranked if they had won this week lol.

The fact that it's nebraska is the feather on the cap. Maybe buyer's remorse after they had underwhelmed for the last 10 years.

nebraska is fools gold that’s why they’re not ranked

Its a farce, they don't want to give Indiana or Oregon possible ranked win if they beat Nebraska.

Cool fact, what’s the point of this? Would be interesting to see who each teams 5 wins were ag and if it makes sense once we see their opponents? 4-1 against better opponents should be ranked over a 5-0 team w no current big wins. But also it will always work itself out by eoy.
