3 SEC Schools are getting far too much credit in the latest AP Poll
This weekend was arguably the craziest weekend of the College Football Season as it seemed there were goal posts being torn down everywhere you looked. The stunning upsets gave us a ton of movement in the College Football Playoff race and in the AP Poll as team's had to fall. The issue is, the AP Poll gave three SEC teams way too much credit when they don't deserve their rankings.
8-3 (4-3). . 531. . . 24. Won 39-20 Vs Mississippi State. . Drinky.
The Missouri Tigers are easily the worst team ranked inside of the AP Poll's Top 25 teams. The Missouri Tigers have no wins over teams that are currently ranked and every time they've played a team with a pulse they've gotten dominated. This team lost by 31 to 20th ranked Texas A&M, they lost by 34 to 13th ranked Alabama, and they lost by 4 to 16th ranked South Carolina. This team hardly beat Boston College, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and Oklahoma so it doesn't make a ton of sense that they're ranked at all.

In the beginning of the season, we all knew something was fishy as Ole Miss got a ton of credit for demolishing teams like Furman, Middle Tennessee, Wake Forest, and Georgia Southern. When they lost to Kentucky it showed that this team wasn't all they were cracked up to be. The Rebels have since lost to LSU and Florida knocking them out of the College Football Playoff race but, being ranked 15th still gives them an outside shot at getting in. The only impressive marks on their resume are wins over Georgia and South Carolina but, this team doesn't belong close to the Playoff picture.

This weekend was supposed to be the dagger in the Alabama Crimson Tide's College Football Playoff hopes as the Tide got demolished by Oklahoma. Instead the AP is telling us that this team is somehow the 13th ranked team in the Country and right outside the College Football Playoff picture. The Tide have lost to unranked Oklahoma and Vanderbilt team's as well as to Tennessee who's ranked 7th. Because Missouri is overrated, the Tide get to claim that they have three ranked wins over Georgia, South Carolina, and Missouri but, for the most part this team hasn't looked good for the majority of the season.
