Yep but I’m surprised it happened this week instead of next. Media getting a head start I guess

I just hope we can get through it injury free. Lots of injuries around the SEC already

Iowa/Iowa state will lose so PSU will officially be a top 10 opponent on the road

[W.E.D 11,070]

3-10 is a gross wasteland of teams.

UGA/Clemson gave no offense.

OU has no defense. 

Aggies are overrated 

Cindy, meh 

ND almost lost to an awful FSU program

I loved how well we played especially the discipline and play calling, that said it was Akron and based on that I don't really see us being a top 25 team yet. I agree the ranking at this point is to make it a good TV matchup. That said I am glad they did it because once in top 25 if you win a couple of games against better teams can move up quickly.

That Tulane team isn't as bad as some think. OU was overlooking them big time.

You are probably right, but Oregon could also jump PSU if they get a win over Ohio State and Ohio State could stay in the top 10.

when you look at a and m barely surviving kent state i thought that might help us in a way. and seems like we struggled some against them for most of the game with gus? it has been a while and i do not want to look it up.

True, Oregon looked bad and I'm assuming they'll lose 

[IronMan70 3,282]

I would expect us to be about 15 or so going into the PSU game. One game at a time.

I'd be shocked if we jumped 10 spots in a week

:: Clemson scores 3 points ::

”yeah they look like a top 10 team to me” - media  

lmao is there another sport on earth where bias and namesake carries so much weight? Unreal. I know rankings are for marketing purposes but still. So fake this early. 

[e808 3,028]

Ga and Clemson hard to say. That was a slobber knocker. Helluva way to open the season. Florida State is much improved. Especially with Milton at QB and their running backs were running hard. Oregon will lose .Hard to see Kayvon playing against OSU. Regarding Auburn get some good cohesion and get out injury free.

Nah we ain’t jumping that many spots beating these two teams

Not that polls matter anymore but we probably should be higher now. So with a good showing this week and looking at the teams in front of us we have a decent chance. Plus, they're going to try to set up a top 15 matchup for the PSU game imo.

Maybe ranked 15-20. We'll see.

GameDay will probably go to Bama/UF for week 3, but it would be real nice if they puffed us up in the teens to get GameDay to State College.

LOL at the thread title.

One small step for Auburn football, one giant leap for the Auburn Family.

[AuburnTiger4Life 2,225]

one guy ranked us #15 and another put us 16. One is an LSU beat writer

That's OK, it fits in well with all the sunshine pumping over our great victory.
