Coaches Poll Released

[starbigd]

I forget which poll they dumped out of the formula, but my point is this: the HUMAN component doesn't just arbitrarily change their votes because tOSU beats a team in the CCG. If they think Baylor passes the eyeball test better, they'll vote Baylor. There's no guarantee tOSU jumps Baylor. Baylor will likely have a better resume should they go undefeated, as they will have beaten more ranked teams.

17) Oklahoma
24) Texas

Sounds about right.

 

[CaptO]

They were most recently curb-stomped by mighty Vandy.

I think half these coaches don't have time and have their fucking kids do the ballots for them.

It hurts tOSU doesn't play Nebraska or Minny.

what the fuck is happening in the world.

It's ok. It will all play out in a few weeks.

Evidently the difference by beating BYU soundly and getting your shit pushed in by them is 4 spots.

Not any worse than Louisville and UCF...or Oklahoma and Texas for that matter.

Or LSU and UR. Or Miami and UR.

This season is a circus.

How does Florida State get to move up to the number two ranking. The Big Ten may be down but its still way tougher than the ACC. They rank Clemson and Florida State high and all these two do is play each other. They had Miami ranked way higher than they should and they would lose to over more than half of the Pac 12. So we have to take that Florida State is great because they have ran the score up on mediocre competition.

Oregon thrashes opponents from the ACC and the SEC and lose to a powerful Stanford on the road. Meanwhile Florida State will get the ACC championship game against a weak Georgia Tech who got their butts kicked by BYU.

The ACC is a joke in football and it has been that way for many years.

 

[yeodonie]

Oregon going to the Natty!!!

oh wait

Or MSU, at least in the regular season. Ohio St could end up playing the 3 worst teams in the other division.

Yes they do, it's the reason teams passed Ohio State despite never losing. Play a good opponent and you are rewarded by voters.

If Baylor passes Ohio State for beating Okie State ... the same could be said if Ohio State beats a MSU. Teams have always been awarded by winning their CCG against a top team via the polls .... ask SEC fans.

It is an extra game that the BIG12 conference won't have, and it will be against a ranked opponent, AND it will be after the regular season, so fresh in the voter's minds.

Damn skippy.

 

[occupant]

What the fuck is texas doing in there?

 

[Ucf2013fan]

Louisville being 6 spots ahead of ucf is the biggest joke I've ever seen

Teams have passed OSU because they've played better schedules ALL SEASON.

Voters tend to not shift from week to week mostly......unless there is a blowout. If they think team A is better than team B, they won't simply change their vote based on one game, unless tOSU blows out a ranked opponent.

Baylor will still have beaten more ranked teams. There would have to be a LARGE shift in voting, and I don't see that happening.

Not necessarily.

There is no guarantee that OU or Texas stay ranked.
