Unranked

11

18

This sums up about how I feel right now as well, actually. :think: :noidea:

I didn't have Ohio St ranked in my preseason power poll which I'm using until week 4 to form my rankings. I know, retarded right? But I hate making rankings until week 4 so this is easier...

Is this really the official poll? If so, are we honestly going to include sabanators rankings? We put together a pretty good list usually - but not so sure we need outliers like this.

???

Outliers are fine.

What's the point of doing a poll of many voters if everyone is required to submit rankings that look near-identical?

Outliers are even good, in that the groupthink created by pressure to make your rankings look like others' rankings is precisely what causes many teams to be drastically and inaccurately overrated early in the season.

Outliers aren't the problem; groupthink is the problem.

Ya know, that's honestly a good point. I agree. However, I still think there is a line - between group/media think and lunacy. As long as we stay between those lines individually we are fine. When we don't. Well....

He is a little on the "I am trying too hard to prove I'm different" side of the fence.

:burt:

Or maybe I don't suck the media's ballsack. Florida State scored 37 on Citadel... Oregon gave up 13 to South Dakota... Maybe it's just my opinion.

I'm sorry the Quacks aren't in my top 5. You'll just have to get over it :noidea:

You have been owned and you know it. It's okay though. I can handle an Internet insult. You seem to be mad that Florida and Ole Miss are ranked higher than Oregon. I think both teams are better at this point, and if you have a problem with that, I can't help you.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Like another poster said, groupthink is not good. I made my preseason Top25 and that's what I have been going off of. I'm not a sack sucker. I can think for myself. I don't need the media to tell me who is good and who isn't. I observe it myself.

Sure my rankings may look funny, but why fret about it? Just make your own damn poll if you know everything. It's only week 2.

You know, Nevada is undefeated. They could be #1. Depends on how you perceive it. My perception isn't the same as yours. So don't resort to name calling.... That's very ODish.

I have been owned :wtf:

It isn't just Oregon.

1, It is that you are mentally unstable thinking anyone gets owned on a msg board and 2 that you would be doing any of the owning.

Go sit at the kiddie table, adults are trying to talk cfb here.
