I thought about bolding everything wrong with this ballot but its pretty much the entire ballot. Ironically, Bama may have been the only one he got right

Supposedly his poll straightens itself out over time but this one is cringe worthy

its why the system is always so screwed it and why it will continue under the "committee"

It's really not that bad with the exception of LSU number 1 and USC 5(I'm sure he's biased in SJ)

looks great to me 
Posted on 9/3/14 at 9:00 am to bamafan1001
USC at 5? Tennessee in the top 25? Marshall? The frick?
Posted on 9/3/14 at 9:00 am to bamafan1001
looks pretty good to me.

It's so funny when people who always bitch about how polls are bullshite because they aren't fluid, turn around and bitch about a poll ballot that doesn't conform to the "standard" that was based solely on preseason hunches.

He tries to rank teams based on what they've actually done on the field as much as possible. Obviously, after week 1 that looks weird, but by the end of the year, his ballot is pretty average. He's been using this same method for years.

LSU at 1 is not the most headscratching thing on that ballot. Dont get Wisconsin at 10, Auburn at 15, UT there period. Georgia may be a little high but they looked good. Marshall?

I agree with you but honestly even the most hardcore LSU fan wouldnt rank them #1. Auburn played well against an SEC opponent but only is #15?

Not at all Gump. But nice try.
This has already been discussed, sort of, on here.
It is just a different perspective on things. A perspective that rewards what teams have done this season.

A guy who turns in this ballot should never be allowed to vote in the poll ever again. He obviously doesn't take it seriously
