Bama jumping 2 spots to 9 is crazy, but SEC I guess. It's too bad Illinois and Washington missed the Top 25.

Diligence is the mother of good luck. Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and keep. Work as if you were to live 100 years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow. All progress springs from work. Work has laid the foundation of every fortune in America. – Benjamin Franklin

@hooky Yeah, not sure how Bama gets rolled and moves up. Also feels like Iowa belongs ahead of Vandy. Iowa was very underrated all year. Had some tough close losses, but of all our games, that's the one I felt most like we were going to lose while it was going on.
Most big ten teams get seriously underrated. Look how long it took indiana to move up in the polls. If we were in the SEC, would have started higher and jumped higher every time we won a conference game.
@kkott Iowa not ahead of Vandy is dumb af. Voters not paying attention to a bowl game outcome.

This just shows how dumb it is to judge conference power by how many teams get ranked or pretending a schedule is a gauntlet based solely on ranked teams.
These rankings are just opinions that are just as prone to bias as Finebaum
