So we're way higher on WVU and Okie Lite than the AP voters are.

Not a bad poll we put together.

Thanks Vol for putting this together this week.

 

[Red_Alert]

That was a good poll. I thought a few voters putting Nebraska in the top 10 was a reach, but it balanced out ok once averaged.

NU doesn't have a top 10 defense and thier special teams were deplorable.

 

[Cane]

sticky anyone?

 

[UTVolCountry]

Good poll. I like that most people are taking it seriously. I missed this week but I'll make the next one

 

[USCDoom]

I like our Poll better.

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

Yeah, our poll is much better even though I admit that I change some of my rankings to counter others (like leaving FSU off my poll completely).

 

[Volbound1700]

I expect some off the wall deviations (especially this time of the year with it being so early) and that is part of the fun with these polls. I just don't want people voting USC Trojans or LSU 23 for the sole purpose of getting them dropped in the polls like the Coaches do in the Coaches poll haha.

I was actually surprised how similar this poll was, especially at the top, to the real polls. I think this board got a little to down on Michigan after their loss but that is just my opinion. I saw some teams voted on that I wish I had looked at a little closer (BYU, South Florida, Nevada).

Thank you everyone for support. I will open up another poll for week 3 this upcoming Monday.

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

I was down on Michigan before the Bama game.

Good job on the poll Vol

 

[Volbound1700]

Well we have our first victim, I doubt Utah will be getting any votes in Week 3.

 

[USCDoom]

Nor Arkansas...

 

[USCDoom]

Also, is there any reason there is only One School who's name is not spelled out? Just seems kind of odd you would spell out all the names of the schools but one...

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

USC might drop down a couple of spots in my poll this week, no fault of their own but because somebody else including Oregon might jump up.

 

[24seven]

Gamecocks #1 so SUCK IT!!!

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

I wasn't talking about your USC. LOL

Shaw's back up pulled it together today... I know ECU, but still I sorry to that SCAR isn't going to fall of this season - not yet anyway.

 

[Volbound1700]

If your talking about Southern California, it was formatting. The name was too long and it was messing up format on here. It wouldn't let me paste full table form into this thread.

LOL 2 those who put NU top 10.
