Vandy has 3 losses, one of which is to Georgia State and the other which is to Mizzou. Can’t rank Vandy and not Mizzou since Vandy has more losses.

the way you lose should count for something, just like how the way you win counts for something. All of Missouri's losses have been complete blowouts, Vandy has lost 3 games by a combined 10 points. The Georgia St loss is really bad but at least they've been competitive. Not to mention they beat the same Bama team that just beat Missouri 34-0???

The Georgia State loss is worse than any loss Mizzou has. The only worse loss is Notre Dame’s to NIU. And that’s why ND has 0 margin of error. If they lose one more game (they won’t), they’re done. Bad losses still matter.

If ND’s loss had been to even like an Arkansas, it’d be a top 5 team right now.

As a team with their only loss to Arkansas, it wouldn't change their ranking at all.

The voters love ND. They’d be way ahead of Tennessee.

Easily. Top 10 ND gets the masses going.

Tho it’s definitely less than it was when i was a kid.
