Coaches say Michigan #3
I disagree, but I don't vote.
Michigan beat #2 and bama struggled to beat an unranked Auburn
GO BLUE!!!
Bring on #12 Iowa.

Coaches pole means squat at the end of the day. Just win BABY
November 28th, 2021 at 1:50 PM ^
The incorrect spelling of Poll made this response oddly sexual
November 28th, 2021 at 1:58 PM ^
They no teach spell good in Idaho
November 28th, 2021 at 3:45 PM ^
This comment made me laugh so loudly.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:15 PM ^
'Squat' didn't help
November 28th, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
Cayman Nebraska loves to squat on coach’s pole
November 28th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
Just win
Michigan is down to a 3 game season now
November 28th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
Cincy is closer to UM than UM is to Bama. SEC bias at its finest.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:50 PM ^
Georgia will beat Bama this Saturday
Michigan needs to stay focused and defeat Iowa and #2 ranking headed into the CFP will take care of itself
November 28th, 2021 at 2:42 PM ^
There is little doubt Georgia is better than Bama, but the SEC is going to tilt that field as far in Bama's favor as they can. Bama wins and they get two in the playoff, Georgia and it's only one.
November 28th, 2021 at 4:20 PM ^
How many benefit of the doubts does 'bama get? Close call at Florida, lost to A&M, close call to LSU, Arkansas played them well, and Auburn should have won that game. SEC bias...
November 28th, 2021 at 2:49 PM ^
They did have that epic win against unranked Auburn against their back up quarterback who could barely stand upright….so how could you question the legitimacy of their number two ranking, lol?
November 28th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
I am not one to complain BUT, Bama at #2 is a joke. They have an awful loss to TX A&M and looked very average against a bad Auburn team.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:07 PM ^
But Auburn was competitive in its loss to Penn State
November 28th, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
Imagine if Michigan ever allowed an inferior in-state rival to keep a game close...
November 28th, 2021 at 9:37 PM ^
I hope you aren't trying to equate MSU with Auburn.
November 29th, 2021 at 10:26 AM ^
Serious? MSU and Auburn are very similar. Both solid football programs with occasional exceptional years but, generally, lower regarded in comparison to their in-state rival.
Since 2000 Auburn is 11-11 against Alabama. MSU versus Michigan in that time frame? Also 11-11.
Rivalry games don't always end with the predicted result. I know that I've seen too many close games or losses against MSU where Michigan was higher ranked. Rivalry games aren't always close, but it really shouldn't be shocking when they are.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:52 PM ^
Looked like shit against an ok Arkansas team as well and prior to that they battled with mighty New Mexico St in the annual “SEC bye week” game.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
Doesn’t matter - we’ll be 2 when the cfp rankings come out. Beat Iowa and everything else will take care of itself
November 28th, 2021 at 1:51 PM ^
Agreed. And in the CFP, being ranked #2 results in the exact same outcome as being ranked #3. Beat Iowa - get that championship!
November 28th, 2021 at 1:56 PM ^
Beat Iowa. Hang a banner. Playoffs will take care of themselves. Everything else is clickbait tripe.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:50 PM ^
Interesting and ridiculous poll rankings, but in the end it doesn't matter much until we beat Iowa next Saturday and the Georgia v Bama is played.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:23 PM ^
November 28th, 2021 at 1:51 PM ^
I mean transitive property doesn’t mean a whole lot, but penn state beat that auburn team that took bama to 4 OTs
November 28th, 2021 at 1:51 PM ^
Dear Georgia,
Please kick the shit out of Alabama.
signed,
Everyone
November 28th, 2021 at 2:18 PM ^
Agree 100%.
But I see a tight game.
Low scoring, but rather than rail on it like they would if it were a B1G game, they'll call this FG fest a "classic." A "test of wills." "One for the ages."
UGA - 16
Bama - 13
November 28th, 2021 at 2:45 PM ^
This needs to happen as well as Michigan beating Iowa. Assuming a scenario where we beat Iowa and Alabama beats Georgia, we play Georgia in the playoff as a 2 vs. 3. At least we would probably be the "home team" in this one. I would say this, after yesterday, maybe we can beat Georgia and/or Alabama. They put their pants on one leg at a time, just like Aiden, Haskins, McNamara, Ojabo, and the rest of your Big Ten East Champions. Assuming we make the playoffs, this would be the first time since 2015 that the team wants to play their next game and goes into bowl prep full steam ahead.
I will say this, if Alabama and Georgia both make the playoff, they should be forced to play each other in the semi-final as the 2 vs. 3. Michigan would have a better resume than either of those teams and its not even close (again, assuming we beat Iowa).
November 28th, 2021 at 1:53 PM ^
The only team that somehow hardly or doesnt at all fall when they lose or nearly lose to unranked teams. Hopefully the committee has more sense.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
Winning in 4OT should count as half a loss. The mandatory 2-point part just isn't legit.
November 28th, 2021 at 3:59 PM ^
Alabama was favored by 20.5 points. I should know because I bet on the idiots. Auburn was down their starting QB that basically carried the team all season. And they still took Bama to 4 OTs. Actually Auburn was one bone headed play from winning the game in regulation. If the committee ranks Alabama at #2 then we know $EC bias is still alive and flourishing quite well.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
LOL. Bama was a stupid fall inbound play by Auburn RB to lose that game where they had a hobbling backup QB. Bama played like #2 and I don't mean the ranking.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:55 PM ^
Alabama will move to number 1 after next week's loss to Georgia. Quality loss and whatnot.
November 28th, 2021 at 1:57 PM ^
Fwiw, Bama without any timeouts on their final drive to tie the game yesterday got the benefit two non calls of intentional grounding, one pretty clear. SEC business protection officiating chipped in for Bama yesterday. Danielson also tried to sell 2 loss Bama team going to playoff. Thankfully Coaches bias poll doesn't matter much.
Beat Iowa. Win the game. Go Blue !
November 28th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
Bama QB made some great throws but you are right. He was under a lot of pressure and refs continued to give Bama the opportunities at the end. Auburn just had bad luck with injuries and didn't have a second scripted 2 point play
November 28th, 2021 at 1:57 PM ^
Fuck Bama but who wouldn't mind blowing out Saban in the CFP?
November 28th, 2021 at 2:32 PM ^
I feel great about the team too but I wouldn’t go hoping to face a Saban team with 4 weeks to prepare. That team is still loaded and coached by Saban.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:01 PM ^
Next week's games will take care of who's in, who's out, and the pecking order.
Gl Blue!!
November 28th, 2021 at 2:04 PM ^
Gotta be big Georgia fans this week. Aside from Alabama (since we won’t be 4th so won’t face Georgia) there isn’t anyone we would play in the semifinals that I think overmatches us. I’m confident with us vs Cincy, Ok St, or Notre Dame.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
A Georgia, Michigan, Cincy, Okla St playoff would be amazing. No Bama, OSU or Clemson. America has waited a long time
November 28th, 2021 at 2:26 PM ^
Or Oklahoma or Oregon
November 28th, 2021 at 5:02 PM ^
And hopefully no Notre Dame.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:27 PM ^
Notre Dame should not be in the discussion at this point. They should not leapfrog teams that play a conference championship game.
November 28th, 2021 at 5:58 PM ^
If Cincy or Okla St lose this week, would committee take 2-loss Bama over ND?
November 28th, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
After Georgia eats Bama's lunch and Michigan takes care of business in Indy against Iowa things will be righted in this poll.
Then again the coaches' undying love of all things Bama will likely have them top four no matter how badly they lose, even if they should realistically be down around 9.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:15 PM ^
After Alabama struggled? Dumb stuff if it wasn’t for bad refs M would be 12-0.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:24 PM ^
To hell with Notre Dame.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:53 PM ^
Just gotta stay focused after that huge win and beat Iowa.
November 28th, 2021 at 2:56 PM ^
I am SHOCKED they voted Nebraska over us! /s
November 28th, 2021 at 3:12 PM ^
Who's the jackhole who had us at NR!? That probably doesn't help the aggregate much. Doenst matter either way, just win
