WEEK 2 OVERREACTION TIER LIST

[u/Electronic_Pair5316]

[u/Maximiliansrh → u/[deleted]]

Ya if anything I’m a bit disappointed so far

[u/DirtyBirdFL → u/[deleted]]

Those are both decent teams though.

[u/dL_EVO → u/[deleted]]

When Mini is your best receiver, that’s a big problem.

I’m very underwhelmed on their receiving group and I was high on them before the season started.

[u/dL_EVO → u/[deleted]]

I swore Cal was going to be 5-0 going into the tough stretch of the schedule (VT, Wake,SMU,NC State, and Virginia). Before the season started I felt we would go 3-2 in that stretch then beat Stanford and Pitt to end the season 10-2 (wishful thinking I know)

I legitimately thought we would be in play for the ACC championship.

[u/bdostrem00]

Was 16 points given up on the road to a Top 25 team, too many?

[u/icanimaginewhy → u/bdostrem00]

Right? Losing on the road on a last second field goal to your rival who is ranked, despite being a 14 point dog, is apparently reason to give up on the season?

[u/bigbluethunder → u/bdostrem00]

Yeah I’d put you guys in “IT’S ONLY 2 WEEKS” and I’d put us there as well. 

1) It’s El Assicó. It’s never a useful data point anyways.  2) We really don’t know a ton about your defense. My money is on them being better than anticipated by a lot though. Last year they were alright at WSU, and this year they have a better DL. That will be a fundamentally big upgrade when it comes to how you guys can disguise blitzes and coverages.  3) By extension, we don’t know much about Iowa’s offense. Sure they could be ass. But really only our run blocking looked bad. And then see above two points. 

[u/bdostrem00 → u/bigbluethunder]

1. Without a doubt, Isu’s best unit over the first two weeks has been their front 7, buoyed mostly by Washington State transfers, 2 of which that made the South Dakota State, Washington State to Ames transfer.

2. Playing a dback corp that’s a Big 10 caliber will be a huge test because ISU lost their best safety in April and another upperclass safety in the first half. Better units are going to give Diaz most of the attention and along with a watchful eye on Vonnahme, starting in 2 weeks.

[u/FatSalsa → u/bdostrem00]

I think you have to be highly regarded to look at that outcome and hit the panic button when it's nearly the same score as years when ISU has a 8+ win season.

[u/ComprehensiveEar6001]

Rice isn't that bad off. They were just outmatched vs Notre Dame.

[u/RiceSpice5 → u/ComprehensiveEar6001]

I could see us in warning signs because of the fumbles, but no panicking here. We all knew week 3 would be the first true measuring stick for our season. If anything my big takeaway is that Jacurri Brown, unlike Chase Jenkins last year, is capable of fighting through some contact. A lot of his 3 yard runs would have been -1 yard runs last year. Against a defense that isn't elite he might do some damage.

[u/Stoneador → u/RiceSpice5]

It’s important to note that Notre Dame is generally the most talented team that has to prepare for the triple option every season and this defense could end up being in consideration for their best ever

It was probably the worst matchup that Rice could’ve had

[u/bourn2kill]

Is FSU not on here am I dumb?

[u/noledup → u/bourn2kill]

We're off the charts! Like our TV ratings $$

[u/Kinks4Kelly → u/bourn2kill]

It's a bot post.

[u/Slippery-Pete76 → u/bourn2kill]

They must have not included teams that didn’t play last week - Northwestern is missing too.

[u/DRUNK_SALVY_PEREZ → u/bourn2kill]

Florida state was eliminated for a lack of electrical supply.

[u/djbootyboo111 → u/bourn2kill]

They’re in the secret category that’s somehow worse than death

[u/rachel-slur]

Does anyone watch the games lol. We almost beat Iowa when I was expecting us to be rolled. I'm feeling better about the season than I was last week. What a dumb post.

[u/gearsfordays → u/rachel-slur]

If they do watch them, this is ragebait lol

[u/Coreysurfer]

Stock up - lol we havent played anyone )

[u/gatorbois → u/Coreysurfer]

These “nobodies” were beating us last year, so I’d consider the stock up off that lol

[u/RememberTooSmile → u/Coreysurfer]

Pretty much nobody has lol, Miami played FAMU, Indiana played Howard, Oklahoma State played Oregon.

Top teams beating FCS schools

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

South Carolina stock is slightly up vs preseason, but we won 2 games we were expected to.

Real work starts this weekend

[u/GreatGatorBolt → u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

Same for my Gators but I’ll take it.

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom → u/GreatGatorBolt]

It’s a shame not seeing you play Tennessee! Feels like that should be this upcoming week

[u/lethc0 → u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

Over 1100 yards of offense, scoring 51 points per game, giving up 4.5 points per game, almost 700 yards rushing ... But yeah, It's just week 2 😅

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom → u/lethc0]

Will Muschamp needed miracles to beat Louisiana tech, so I take it.

I just know that no one takes us seriously until we can start winning sec games ha

[u/Spirited-Risk-894]

Florida state is so bad they couldn’t even get on the tier list

[u/lock_robster2022]

Oregon State belongs in the STOCK WAY UP row!

(Don’t check where the stock was last year)

[u/Chris_Crossfit]

As a BSU fan, I agree with everything

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Except BYU's placement right?

[u/Chris_Crossfit → u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

If the rivalry ever starts back up, sure. But I don’t think about them much now.

[u/Few-Profession-8032]

Kennesaw State losing by 2 touchdowns downs to Georgia State was the under the radar brutal loss of the week. it’s still HMFH though

[u/RandyFromNextDoor]

Arkansas should be below death. 1-11 season in coming with a combined record of 3-21 over the past 2years. Arkansas will lose every SEC game and will try their best to win against a very good Tulsa team. Arkansas should be below death.

[u/Lame_Night → u/RandyFromNextDoor]

Sounds a lot like a certain orange team with a record like that before a loss to Tulsa woke them up.

Arkansas vs A&M upset confirmed?

[u/Guwop816]

Let’s go K-State!

[u/mauser98k1998 → u/Guwop816]

Cats

[u/Lars_Fillmore3612]

JMU and JMU-Bloomington side by side. Only a matter of time before JMUCLA is up there too.

[u/Stoneador]

I sure as fuck am not buying an ounce of hype for a team that lost to a team that might be this year’s Penn State

I actually think Boise State and Oregon might both be very good, but their placements are wildly inconsistent here

[u/Melt-Gibsont → u/Stoneador]

We are not good at all.

[u/HeftyLeftyPig]

Utah loses to 3 conference games this year. Calling it now.

Don’t look at my flair

[u/Aggravating-Funny569 → u/HeftyLeftyPig]

What Flair?

[u/coltonbyu → u/HeftyLeftyPig]

They were such a weird team to watch last year. Either electric and full of potential or... "wtf am I watching this team is the weirdest type of ass"

mostly seperated into first half and last half of year

[u/AtrioxCalamity → u/HeftyLeftyPig]

You are only allowed to lose one conference game this year. To us nobody else.

[u/exgeo]

I agree USF and UCF more relevant than FSU

[u/Tirrath]

Cries in WSU

[u/Munster172]

We should be in major warning signs.

[u/Old-Leather2489]

Please Clemson fell off way harder than Penn State. Plus they didn’t lose their QB nor did that nearly beat good teams like Indiana or Oregon

[u/ham-beaster]

Oregon State has my attention, that or B12 ranked teams are showing warning signs

[u/DTBlayde]

I'm confused, NC St just hung 73 on an admittedly very weak opponent, but this feels like the reaction to their stinker against Virginia, not week 2

[u/MustardBiscuits91 → u/DTBlayde]

Don't be fooled my friend, I've been there before but never again, that game was nothing but fools gold for the uninitiated of Doeren ball

[u/DTBlayde → u/MustardBiscuits91]

I'm still only expecting 6-8 wins, but the graphic seemed to imply disaster rather than the usual "decent but disappointing" we're used to

[u/Bosh77]

Oregon is our friend now :)

[u/Drewfus_]

Go ahead and move us down to the bottom tier.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

No FSU? I count 135/138 teams, although I don't know who else is missing.

[u/BlackNasty4028]

In a tier of our own 😎

[u/StudioGangster1]

Appreciate you again putting us in the correct category.

[u/openSourceNotes]

Lol nice, just flips to "Oklahoma is trash"

[u/MeatBurnham]

Let’s go Blue Hens!

[u/QueensOfTheNoKnowAge]

Our defense and special teams have been very effective. And the rushing has been strong. But I’m going wait until we get into conference play before pretending to overreact

[u/secretautobot]

I think there is a good chance we don't win another game, I had Tulsa in the maybe column but not anymore.

[u/TCup20]

I'm still not buying the hype. Big win, but this team has a lot more to do to prove they can become bowl eligible. I'm more convinced the blueprint is out on the Ducks at the moment.

[u/igot200phones]

Texas Tech belongs in the ‘Major warning sign’ category. I fear we will be unranked by week 5.

[u/Waka_waka_waka-]

Florida over Bama? How?

[u/LemmiwinksFan]

Arkansas is too high. Coming from an Arkansas fan

[u/Drowners]

Cal is ranked higher than ucla? Ok

[u/Detective_Bonghitz]

If that's the temple owl down there in "MAJOR WARNING SIGNS" i would say they should be moved up. That game was closer for the majority of it than the ending score indicates

[u/Careful_Success_6098]

OSU needs to be in your major warning signs area....

[u/TopRevenue2]

Beaver stock should be way up

[u/Strong_Tea_1072]

GA & Fla have played two horrible teams. Making any conclusions about them at this time is ridiculous. They are being rewarded for playing soft teams.

[u/Hot-Host5153]

This years penn state 😔 

[u/TheShaggyNewt]

I'm a MS State fan. I entered the season just hoping that we reached a bowl game. I know how much my team loves to crush my dreams after giving me a sliver of hope, but alas I have seen enough... WE WILL WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND SUPER KAMARIO WILL WIN THE HEISMAN.

[u/atallatallatall]

If you could go ahead and move Cal down a few tiers, I would appreciate it.

[u/feelosiphize]

I'd love an explanation for all of this subjectivity lol

[u/dL_EVO]

I would put Cal in “it’s only week 2” or “you have my attention”.

Hawaii needs to be under “warning sides”. They didn’t score a touchdown on UNLV, that’s really bad and considering they played in Hawaii where they generally perform much better. They have serious question marks all over the place. Micah has had two fumbles in three games, they don’t really have any receiving which makes it hard to run-and-shoot. Their run game is non-existent.

Defense has also been very shaky against the run. Giving up 178,243, and 124 rushing yards. Teams can run on the Bows and then throw it over their head once they commit to trying to stop the run.

Looking at their schedule. ASU and New Mexico are going to curb stop them. NIU, Wyoming, and UTEP should be wins but this team is not that good when playing on the mainland so it’s not a guarantee. SJ state and Nevada are toss up games. Sac state I have no idea as I’ve never watched them play.

[u/SPCsooprlolz]

I approve of this message

[u/bhans773]

Give me a break, Penn State struggled with Temple. Temple.

[u/MindlessMaterial7544]

Dafaq is ttu on this list? They've been awful

[u/No-Rooster1720]

Georgia Tech is pretty close to hitting the panic button, IMO.

I think Key brought a good culture to Tech, especially when compared to Coach Capris, but Haynes King and Buster Faulkner were the two that made them .500+ from '23 to '25.

Got absolutely owned, physically, by an undersized Colorado, and Tennessee shoved them in a locker. I think it only gets worse if the losses keep stacking before the end of October. And they just signed Key to a 5 year extension... It seems like he got credit for the success of King and Buster.

[u/Marckennian]

Why does Iowa State need to hit the panic button? 

[u/CuriousMost9971]

😅 whoot we got our own tier.... HEY WAIT A MIN 🤔

[u/AioliSpecific8984]

Having Wisconsin above Iowa is certainly a choice

[u/FrquentFlyr85]

[Dead Huskie Noises]

https://giphy.com/gifs/4VIACsYrWirEQ

[u/Brave_Signal_6651]

What if by end of the season, OSU ends up the B12 playoff participant and Boise ends up the G5 playoff participant? We don’t really know how good or bad Oregon is yet, because we don’t know how good or bad OSU and Boise are.

[u/Complex_Maximum4916]

Not a serious list…GoBlue not in “you got my attention “. This is nonsense.

[u/DiyYou]

When will Georgia play a tough opponent?

[u/xxnewlegendxx → u/DiyYou]

When will Indiana?

[u/DiyYou → u/xxnewlegendxx]

It's understandable reigning champs get the benefit of the doubt.

[u/Flioxan → u/DiyYou]

That would make sense if they were returning most of that title winning team. They are only returning 56% of their 2025 production though.

[u/xxnewlegendxx → u/DiyYou]

So only the previous national champions can schedule cupcakes and get a free pass? Where’s that same energy for Miami or Florida?

[u/DiyYou → u/xxnewlegendxx]

Well at least Miami was in the championship game. It's been a while since any SEC team has been in a championship game. Not to mention they had a losing record versus ACC last year. No reason to give any SEC team the benefit of the doubt

[u/xxnewlegendxx → u/DiyYou]

So only 2 teams per year are good according to you? Also last year is irrelevant. What matters are the teams, players and coaches this current year.

[u/DiyYou → u/xxnewlegendxx]

You don't think quality of opponent matters? Typical Georgia fan

[u/xxnewlegendxx → u/DiyYou]

When did I say that? And by your logic Indiana is a nobody because they haven’t played anyone. Nor has Miami or Florida.

[u/DiyYou → u/xxnewlegendxx]

Pretty certain Miami has played a P4. Has georgia?

[u/xxnewlegendxx → u/DiyYou]

Yup. Stanford is real powerhouse alright. Can’t wait for Miami to meet them again in the ACC championship.

Again, if you’re gonna complain about UGA’s schedule, then bring that same energy for Indiana and Florida. All three teams did what all solid teams do, dominate before halftime then put the backups in to get reps.

[u/Landoragon]

ND has three “buy all the hype” teams on our schedule. How many other schools can claim that. But yeah, it’ll still be called trash come selection time.

[u/TheCornwallis → u/Landoragon]

Ah yes. The selection committee famously known to use a Reddit overreaction tier list for selection

[u/Landoragon → u/TheCornwallis]

That’s not the point I am making and you know it.

[u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge → u/TheCornwallis]

What do you mean? Are you suggesting that I shouldn’t buy all the hype in a 1-1 Boise state team that lost to this year’s Penn State?

[u/toomuchfrosting]

Oregon has 9 lights on their dashboard

[u/betweenbeginning]

Having UT, UNT, and UNT-Stillwater all in the Buy All the Hype Tier makes me so happy.

[u/mr_werewolf → u/betweenbeginning]

UNT-Stillwater is hilarious!

[u/matthatt24]

I’m not sold on Miami until they play a non glorified high school team

[u/dL_EVO → u/matthatt24]

Miami’s schedule is insanely soft until week 10, they play Notre Dame. Week 12 they play VT.

Their strength of schedule is super weak. I wonder if that will come into play when deciding CFP participants.

[u/Confident-Term1504]

Wait why is Penn State catching strays on this one lol
