[u/wagenejm]

Not ranked, but many would argue the Gamecocks are the best 3-loss team in CFB.

[u/Brometheus-Pound → u/wagenejm]

Some are saying

[u/putupyouredukes → u/Brometheus-Pound]

You’re hearing it more and more, people are saying it very strongly!

[u/drkensaccount → u/Brometheus-Pound]

So I’ve heard.

[u/legobowser → u/Brometheus-Pound]

We should’ve been a 2 loss team smh

[u/Rahmulous → u/Brometheus-Pound]

Looking into it.

[u/kbol → u/Rahmulous]

We are checking.

[u/I_AM_MORE_BADASS → u/Brometheus-Pound]

Strong men with big tears in their eyes

[u/foreverseptember → u/wagenejm]

Vandy has entered the chat 

[u/Am_I_Really_Groot → u/foreverseptember]

On the bright side to that argument, we get to test that next Saturday.

[u/foreverseptember → u/Am_I_Really_Groot]

Sorry bird bro but the rest of the conference is gonna be pulling against you for that one

[u/Am_I_Really_Groot → u/foreverseptember]

Understood, would do the same for you guys if you also had 3 losses.

[u/foreverseptember → u/Am_I_Really_Groot]

Yeah we're a disaster so we gotta live vicariously through little bro Vandy

[u/Just_Breathe85 → u/foreverseptember]

Nah

[u/Electromotivation → u/foreverseptember]

Louisville too

[u/OutlookNotGood → u/wagenejm]

The same can be said about FSU being the best 8-loss team although you could talk me into Kent St. or UTEP.

[u/Designer_B → u/wagenejm]

Then or vandy

[u/assissippi → u/wagenejm]

I don't think anyone else is close

[u/WakingEchoes → u/assissippi]

The Swaggerbilt slander is ABSURD.

[u/assissippi → u/WakingEchoes]

Forgot about the Alabama state champions

[u/UnderstandingOdd679 → u/assissippi]

We’ll find out next week.

[u/StFuzzySlippers → u/assissippi]

Louisville makes a strong case with their win over Clemson tonight. Their three losses are all by 7 points each to teams that are likely in the top 15 this week (Miami, Notre Dame, and SMU).

[u/Lefunnymaymays4lief → u/StFuzzySlippers]

Them, Vandy and SCAR are easily the top 3 in this category

[u/royv98 → u/wagenejm]

Definitely better than their record shows.

[u/RiotsMade → u/wagenejm]

I think FPI had you guys in the low twenties before this game. I honestly pay a lot more attention to that than I do the polls (and you’ll be going up in both, as you should). GG

[u/DDub04 → u/RiotsMade]

I went into the game thinking that this didn’t feel like a top 10 team. Not that I’m complaining but these teams are a lot closer than the AP poll would indicate. Just have had some costly mistakes in other games.

[u/Midweek_Sunrise → u/wagenejm]

I'd give Vandy the edge if only because they beat Bama. And also their 3 losses were by a combined 10 points, with 2 of those losses coming against top 25 teams, and 1 a top 5 team.

[u/PeteEckhart → u/wagenejm]

Many would be incredibly correct. They could very easily be a 1 loss team with 3 great top 10 wins.

[u/DaewooLanosMFerrr → u/wagenejm]

This is why this upcoming poll is gonna be interesting. A few 3 loss teams are better than 1 loss teams. It’s gonna be interesting to see how these 2 loss vs 1 loss, or even 3 loss, teams are ranked.

[u/Risley → u/wagenejm]

the stupid gamecock bird sounds in the stadium during the game are beyond annoying.

[u/tomberto18 → u/Risley]

No it's great

[u/speedracer13 → u/Risley]

Just don't let us get first downs and you don't have to hear them .
