The Coaches Poll dropped for Week 6, and seriously, what are these guys even watching? It’s almost like they’re actively trying to troll us fans with how many colossal mistakes are packed into these rankings. Missouri just stomped Florida, 45-17. We’re talking a total beatdown. Yet somehow, the Coaches Poll has Florida sitting at No. 15, still one spot ahead of Missouri at No. 16. You cannot make this stuff up.
The Rankings Are A Complete Mess
Let’s break down the sheer madness of these rankings, because it gets worse. Missouri’s only loss this season? That was to Mississippi State. And Mississippi State just went out and lost to No. 7 Alabama. So, logically, you’d think the pecking order would be Mississippi State, then Missouri, then Florida, right? WRONG. The coaches decided Mississippi State should be way down at No. 20. It’s mind-boggling. And if that wasn’t enough, LSU is still one spot ahead of Ole Miss, and Ole Miss’s only loss this season was to Florida. Oh, and both LSU and Ole Miss are somehow ranked ahead of Florida, the team Ole Miss lost to. It’s a complete circular argument that makes zero sense.
Who Moved, Who Fell, And Who Got Ignored
While the top seven teams in the poll apparently did enough to stay right where they were, ranks 8 through 12 all got a bump, moving up one spot each. On the winning side, Missouri made the biggest leap, jumping nine spots from 25 to land at No. 16 after their dominant win. Tennessee also climbed, moving from 17th to 14th. We also saw two new teams break into the Top 25: Pitt, with an impressive 5-0 record, came in at No. 24, and Kentucky, at 4-1, snagged the No. 25 spot.
But it wasn’t all good news. Florida was definitely the biggest loser of the week, plummeting seven spots from No. 8 to No. 15. Iowa also took a hit, sinking four spots from 14 to 18 after its loss to Ohio State. And get this: both Michigan and Penn State didn’t even receive a single vote in this week’s poll. It just goes to show you how quickly things can change, and how baffling the coaches’ decisions can be.
With rankings this wild, you gotta wonder what kind of chaos Week 7 is gonna throw at us. Maybe the coaches will just pick names out of a hat next time, it couldn’t be any more random than this.
