Week 1 Top 25 Discussion Thread...

My poll is up. It's superior.

My poll is up. It's superior.

If by "superior" you mean "homerific" and by "up" you mean "sucking," then I agree.

My poll is up. It's superior.

That's a regular phrase on a Saturday night in the trailer park when addressing your best looking cousin in Oklahoma.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah I think Oklahoma win rather easily.

Mamba nailed it. Dumb Bammer poll is dumb. It's voting like that that really scares me with this committee. Someone always trying to outthink things.

 

[Tharvot]

New Buckeye QB looked pretty decent in his first start. Made some dumb decisions but also made some good plays. Season might not be completely lost.

Yeah, because Week 1 always ends the same as week 14...

If you actually look at my poll, you will notice that I'm pretty unbiased. I took into account the most impressive performances and applied them well relative to their previous rank and thepercepred level of competition they played.

Unlike everyone else, I had South Carolina at 25 to start the season, and TAMU unranked. I also had Auburn unranked. So after they won, against decent competition in the fashion they did, I moved them up. It's all about perception. In my eyes, TAMU didn't beat a top 10 team. They beat the 25th best team. Who in my opinion is no longer 25th.

So if A&M were unranked and their only achievement was to beat a team that does not deserve a ranking, then why did they enter your poll at all? You don't believe South Carolina will end up back in the rankings at some point this year?

There is nothing homerific about my poll unless you think OU at 4 is me being a homer.

I don't live in a trailer park, I don't live in Oklahoma, I live in Texas. The only cousin fucking I see usually has burnt orange on with horns up.

No, it's the Okie State at 25.

 

[MarkOU]

No, it's the Okie State at 25.

For sure. They finished 10-3 last year. There was no reason they shouldn't have been ranked preseason. They played a great game against #1. I felt they should be recognized.

Hell I can't believe im having to defend my 25th ranked team after week 1. That's just stupid.

 

[yeodonie]

Mark's poll is at least logical.

Heh heh...you should be more shocked that you're defending Okie State. Are you a Team Big Twelber?

Just say "Fuck you, Hu."

I mean, did you not see the god damn smiley face i put in my first post?

All polls are illogical. They're opinions.

But I'm just fucking with you all. I don't give a shit about polls.

 

[theSabanator20]

I laugh in the face of people who criticize opinions yet have none of their own. Shows you are definitely an Oregon fan. Just like OD claiming the next anal r*pe of Stanford. Nothing but jibberish, no facts to back it up or reasonable excuse for criticism. I can't stand people like that.

"Oh your poll sucks..." But you bask in your light of arrogance as a Duck fan and don't even have the intelligence to compile a poll for yourself. It's all opinion. But criticizing someone's opinion without providing your own is just like the old saying: you can't take what you dish out.

This is a good cleaning out week for a lot of teams. PAC 12 is top heavy with good teams. How good is Stanford or USC should be established. In the end though, the PAC 12 might cancel most of the teams out and be denied a playoff berth. League looks too tough to run the table.

If Mich State wins against Oregon, then they will rival Florida St as the surest bet for the playoff at this stage.

Regardless of what happens in the SEC, at least 1 team will get in and I'm starting to think it might be Auburn. Georgia looks like the next best bet, but never count Alabama out.

Auburn's defense is going to cost them at some point.

For those that ranked K-State ahead of Nebraska, what is it about K-State's 55-16 victory over FCS Stephen F. Austin that was more impressive than Nebraska's 55-7 victory over FBS Florida Atlantic in which they racked up 784 yards to FAU's 200? Not saying Nebraska or K-State should even be ranked Top 20 based on either performance, but one was just clearly more dominant.
Note I was in attendance for the K-State game and watched the Huskers later on my DVR.

I have KSU (15) ranked third best in the Big XII, and Nebraska (17) ranked third best in the B1G. Interchangeable honestly but homerific of me going Big XII over B1G I guess. .

There were really only about 3 impressive performances week Georgia, A@M amd USC. Yeah yeah what about LSU?? Well anyone who watched the game wouldnt call ity impressive. Frankly Im not sure either of those teams is any good. Everyone else either underperformed ex[ectations ( FSU, Bama, UCLA, Auburn ) or played cupcakes. Changing your poll is fine but only if you have 1 of the 3 teams I mentioned at number 1. If you are basing your poll off of actual performance that is really the only teams you could have ranked first.
