looking forward to it! i've given up on caring about the ratings. the only thing it truly effects anymore is how many times i get to see the ducks on national TV.

I think preseason polls are ridiculous.

Check last years, and see how many of those teams finished below .500, and how many teams made the top 10 that were not even in the preseason top 25.

1. Florida (60) 13-1 1524 2

Ill take the SEC vs the field every year.

I had to attach a drawings I did of Georgia Mascot

 

[GoingPostal]

Yeah the pre-season rankings are a joke. they only exist to tilt the BCS Bowl games to the big conference teams. I say they should wait untill Wk 4.

Agreed!!

 

[VillageIdiot]

Agreed! No preseason polls. They are only popularity contests anyway. I don't want to make any Irish fans mad, but do you honestly think they are a top 25 team? That's just my opinion though. The polls get the juices flow and fans arguing. I guess that's what they are really for.

 

[Mast3r_Shake]

It gets you excited about football!! You don't need to get upset just because every SEC school isn't ranked in the top 10.

 

[Greg]

Let's see, Utah finishes 13-0 and ranked 4th, yet they are ranked 18th in this year's preseason poll. LSU is no where near the final top 25 for last year, yet they are ranked 9th.

BS, is what it is.

Well in college teams can lose a lot of players or keep a lot of players, so that factors in. I am not sure what Utah lost or LSU kept, but I would bet that has something to do with it. (do coaches take schedule into consideration?)

Tim Tebow played 9 holes at my golf course yesterday. He shot an 8. He's really good.

Can't wait for the Gators undefeated season that's getting ready to start. CHOMP!

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

The heck with the damn polls, let's just play some football!

Just curious. Who's upset about SEC teams not being in the top 10?

Anyone from who lives in SC or below.

 

[El Baton]

Pac-10 Baby! Polls, schmolls. These are somewhat legit primarily based on hype though. Bottom line, we need a playoff system. However, I am indeed ready for some football!

 

[carocaniac]

The people who have the money make the rules! Remember: Notre Dame has a 40,000,000,000.00 endowment!

I guess the south has no ACC fans then.

We are talking about football not basketball. :eyepoke:
