22. Texas(20)

Ok, I have to ask.

Michigan lost to a good Penn State team yesterday by 7.
They also lost by 3 touchdowns to a Wisconsin team who just shit the bed and lost to Illinois.

Texas lost to #2 LSU and #5 Oklahoma by 1 touchdown each and looked competitive in each game.


Seems like you have it backwards.

Texas needed a blocked FG, a blocked PAT returned for two and a last second FG to beat Kansas at home. I can't move them up in my poll after that, and Michigan was a dropped pass in the endzone away from tying the game on the road in a white out against an undefeated Penn State team, they still dropped, but they're not gonna free fall in my poll after something like that.

So, you completely ignore the Wisconsin loss, and penalize a Texas team that won yesterday, vs a Michigan team that lost yesterday.

I'd have a different thought process.

I base my rankings off of my previous rankings. I didn't ignore the Wisconsin loss, that's why Michigan was sitting around 15th to begin with. And to me, Michigan was more impressive in their loss yesterday than Texas was in their win.

Texas and Michigan both seem due for additional losses. Wherever they are ranked, they will be falling further soon enough.

15 on down in my rankings is absolute garbage. Throwing shit at a wall. What a lackadaisical but fun season of college football.

Keep all discussion in the discussion thread. This has been a rule forever, and there was even a reminder in the OP of the voting thread. It's not asking a lot to follow one simple rule.

What the fuck is wrong with you today? I can post on any thread I want and I'm not going to let a punk like you, tell me what I can post or can't post. I posted on the "voting thread", which is this thread!!! Maybe you should pay attention, did you noticed that this "is a discussion thread"???

I'm wasting my time trying to explain it to you, but I'll try any way.

In the voting thread, which is what you originally posted on, we try to keep it for those posting their polls only so it's less cluttered for Iowajerms who has to add the polls together and put up the final result. Those that post discussion material in the voting thread makes his job more aggravating than it needs to be. There's a reason there has been voting threads and discussion threads for the weekly poll since forever.

Yes, this is the discussion thread, you originally posted in the voting thread.

It's called being considerate of others, try it sometime, just because you're older than the rest, it doesn't mean you get special treatment.
