SportHoopla Preseason Top 25 voting

[herky]

Can I redo mine???

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

Sure, why not.

The season is about to begin and no one has calculated our ballots into a poll, so...

 

[herky]

I just want to drop LSU out of my poll, move everyone up 1 spot, and make Mississippi St to 25.

LOL! Did you see my original ballot?

 

[yeodonie]

No was it pretty similar?

 

[24seven]

I thought you copied it exactly until I saw you had Boise a spot or two lower.

I like your newer one better

especially the Texless A&M part.

That's funny.

Get me whatever he's having...

I don't pay especially close attention to teams not in the SEC because they hold little bearing on me this season, except Boise State.

As such, I don't feel very qualified in polling (even though I feel more qualified than some of the voters thus far). I will, however, give my thoughts on a few things.

BCS Championship prediction: Alabama > Oklahoma
I hate to hand the championship to a team with such big issues at quarterback, but Alabama showed us last time that they can win the title even with their quarterback hardly playing at all (McElroy threw for 58 yards in the BCSNC and I want to vomit when I hear people giving him any kind of credit). We know how good Richardson is, but Bama will also probably need a powerful number 2 the likes of which they had in Richardson until now (I don't follow Bama enough to know who their backups are and how good they are).

Stanford: As I implied above, I don't think the quarterback position is so important that it will always make or break a team. It certainly isn't the case here. Without Harbaugh, Stanford will not finish in the top 10 this year, nor will they win the Pac-12. They have lost far too much at almost every position group to compete at the level they did last season. I would rank them around 15.

About the team I DO know a lot about: This is the most important season in Athens in a long time, but I think this Georgia team is up to the test.
The very blunt mike LB, Christian Robinson, has made it very clear that there were attitude problems in the program last year, and they have all since been purged. I know that optimistic journalism is nothing new, but I think it might be different this year. The freshmen are making much more of a splash in preseason camp then I thought they would, and a handful (particularly Malcolm Mitchell in a much-doubted wide receiver corps) are pushing the upperclassmen to perform. In the past month, my outlook on this season has greatly changed. Every player I had doubts about has reportedly stepped up, and I am beyond excited to see how it all unfolds.
I would not be surprised to see this team go undefeated in the SEC and earn a spot in Atlanta, although I think it would be a little silly to predict a win in that game.
I believe Georgia is easily a top 20 team and possibly top 15.

Is post #125 for real? Even Barack does a better job of hiding his homerism...

Yeo is an Oregon fan. He was taking a shot at the SEC love. Funny because I did the same thing earlier in the thread, though I did put Boise in front of Vandy...

Clearly it's a joke.

Homerism? The poster is an Oregon fan, he has them ranked 14.

The post was most likely a statement on over ranked SEC teams... he jelly.

Or you could just omit his poll.


But I do like his #5 pick.

I probably will

yes your poll is a good un, except Notre Dame of course.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

so Texas has Gilbert as their starter, which means you probably want to drop them.
