I see why you care so much about the poles this time of year. I think you guys are leading over Auburn for most pre-season NCs in the last 20 years.

Why should preseason rankings matter after the first game is played?

Stupid polls. They shouldn't come out anyway to at least later in the season.

LSU #5 loses to what was an unranked Wisconsin team which beats LSU and now jumps to #10. So in reality we loss to the #10 ranked Wisconsin team on the road and we fall all the way from #5 to #21

AP hates the big orange

Really? Texas jumped from unranked to 11th. It looks as if they love the big orange.

I advise you make your own rankings if you really are so upset. AP means absolutely nothing. It's just media generated bs for the media to talk about

I would agree until you have teams that say "Hey look! We played 5 teams ranked in the top 20!" Only for them to end the season unranked.

Says the guy sitting at the top of the poll, again
So?

If currently #1 Alabama wins 11 or 12 games and the SEC title, they'll be in the playoff. If Bama loses 2 or more games they won't. If they lose 5 games they'll be unranked and go to a Music City tier bowl.

By the same token, if currently unranked South Carolina wins 11 or 12 games and wins the SEC title, they'll be in the playoff. If they lose a few they won't. If they lose 5 they'll be unranked and go to a Music City tier bowl


Everyone is in the same boat in terms of controlling their destiny. The polls won't have any bearing, they will just try to reflect what happens after the fact. It's literally just for chit chat
