re: Week 10 SEC Power Ranking

You mean people would be more likely to vote how the rant wants them to vote rather than how they actually feel? Do you even peer pressure bro?

if people are making really homerific picks and/or not watching the actual games, then they need to be called out... keeping the members in the dark protects the idiots.

homers (not unlike what i've done in this thread) are going to b*tch regardless.

Easy. Mad because they aren't a voter.

And we have a winner!

kilo, I know how you feel, and understand where you're coming from. But not all the posters here are as logical and honest as you, and some wouldn't be comfortable expressing these opinions publicly. That wasn't meant for you anyway, I know you would vote without being a homer - you're a Mizzou fan, we don't wear black & gold glasses that often.

The hope was that by being anonymous, voters wouldn't be intimidated or pressured to vote a certain way - even from their own fanbase. This isn't mean to be a homer thing, they're looking for honest opinions based on watching the games. I fail to see how anyone could put Missouri or Auburn 6th in the SEC, but then I didn't see all the games, and I'm not a voter.

Oh, semo, I thought that was fired in my direction. My bad. Disregard.

Nope! You would be one of the least likely people I know to either be a homer, or succumb to intimidation!

Deflect away bro.

Why are you folks so defensive about this? Honest question.

"Dont question our poll you jealous plebs"

I've got nothing to deflect or defend. It was set up to be intentionally anonymous. If you don't like it, or don't agree, no problem. I just assume you won't be clicking on the thread to read the future rankings. Take care.

Actually how can you determine if they are a "homer" when you may not even know what teams fans voted those teams that low.

What is Mizzou's most impressive win? UGA was devastated by injuries, UF was without their starting QB, and when they played USCe, they were without their starting QB until the 4th quarter and Mizzou still lost.

Meanwhile, AU beats Ole Miss and A&M on the road, yet you still favor Mizzou?

quote:

---

That was the only AU game I have seen this year

---

Oh, well at least you're a qualified, objective observer.

quote:

---

I mean, seriously, does anybody ACTUALLY believe Mizzou would beat TAMU or LSU?

---

well, Mizzou will get their shot against A&M, so that'll work itself out.

And people seem to be overvaluing LSU b/c of what they've accomplished over the last several years, and not necessarily looking at the product they've rolled out THIS year. Their defense is not up to their standards... Mett is still inconsistent... and they have a tendancy to play down to competition. From a talent standpoint, sure... they're #2... but that hasn't shown itself so far.

this is all interesting convesaiton... and will all work itself out in the coming weeks.
