I'm pulling one out for a P poll voters that Fitz loves that one.

I don't know where, how you approach this.

I think just full disclosure to everyone listening, we record this podcast on Saturday nights.

But by the time you're listening, the A people may already be out and be updated.

But I think we can guess Texas number one team in the country.

Ohio State, probably two who goes in that third slot because it was, you know, a Texas two Ohio State three, obviously, Alabama is going to fall.

Tennessee was at four.

I don't expect Tennessee to be in the top five anymore after getting beaten by an unranked team.

Like does Georgia just by, you know, reaping the benefits of everyone else losing.

Now, get slated into that three spot.

Is it Oregon?

Is it Penn State?

Like II, I don't know how the rest of the top 10 looks.

I have a hard time putting Oregon in that three spot because I think we talk about teams that really haven't played up to their potential like that Michigan State Oregon game at times.

I, I just can't, I, it's the same thing.

We've been saying all here.

I'm waiting for Oregon to show up.

I'm waiting for Oregon to be Oregon like a couple of black picks by Dylan Gabriel here.

Like I, I don't know, man, like I, the, the number three team in the country.

I, I honestly don't know because I can't reward a Georgia team that has a loss or an Alabama team that has a loss.

But also I can't justify pole vaulting Oregon above them.

When I don't think on a neutral field right now, Oregon would beat either of those teams.

Yeah.

And, and to your point fitz, I think about Oregon, I think about Penn State.

I think about even a team like Miami.

And would those teams, do?

I think those teams would be in Alabama?

A Texas, a Tennessee, a Georgia no matter who they lost to.

I don't, I don't think so.

Like I, I know that's not where the, how the rankings will, will play out on when the A P poll comes out.

But I still would take Tennessee against Oregon tomorrow.

I would take, I would take Alabama against Penn State 99 times out of 100 on a, on a neutral site tomorrow.

So, you know, this thing will all play out.

The great, beautiful part is we have the 12 team playoff this year, but it'll be interesting to see fits.

How far will I be able to fall on the eight people?

That's, you are like the fourth or fifth person that has asked me this question.

I don't know.

I mean, because I, I think probably the six, sixish seven ish maybe still be top seven.

But then you got, this is the weird part.

Like, are we going to put Georgia above him now?

Like that, that feels icky to me because why play the games if we, like, if I was in the college football playoff committee, I would still have to put Alabama above Georgia.

Like they have one loss, all things being equal.

They both have one loss, but one of those is a head to head loss.

I get, I, I value the games being played.

So I think they end up probably at 667. but that, that look, the one thing I know wherever they end up, it's gonna piss everybody off.

Like sec fans are gonna say, how could you do this?

We know how good they are and non sec fans are gonna say, how could you not drop them to the teens?

They lost to unranked Vanderbilt.

So it's gonna be, it'll be sexy no matter what, but I have no idea where they end up.
