As someone who played in college, I disagree that all snaps are earned. Coaches have favorites. Coaches do lean more toward older players many times even when others are better or more talented. Happens all the time. I do agree that it may be his own fault and not doing what he should. And that could be the case.Nah, every damn player earns their snaps. You are assuming Boo is doing everything like everyone else and it's a vacuum where he's getting petty punishment. It's not. Boo's participation has actually decreased which tells me he's still not doing things right outside of gametime. He doesn't deserve special treatment. If he's showing up late, walking through drills, not paying attention in the film room, not showing up to class, etc then he doesn't get preferred snaps. This is not a staff that has ever wavered on holding everyone accountable and to the same standard.
So, explain this to me. Penn State falls to number six after taking Oregon to overtime and losing. We don't move at all after taking Georgia (who was number 4 at the time) to overtime. Which team has Penn State played that is better than the teams we played?Tennessee remains at #15 in new Coaches Poll.
Alabama up to #11 after beating Georgia and Georgia falls to #10.
LSU down to #13 after losing to Mississippi..
A lot of it just has to do with preseason rankings, which messes up the rankings for the first few weeks. And then sometimes they overreact to one game (fsu getting all the way to 7) Tennessee is definitely better than 15 but it’s hard to move them up after a loss. But we shouldn’t have been ranked 23 to start the seasonYou know AP is going to be the same. I don't even think there should be polls until the playoff committee. The biases are blatant.
