Official SECR Power Rankings Pre-Season Vote - 11th Annual
Posted by TheDeathValley on 8/25/26 at 11:23 am
Welcome back to the 11th edition of the SECR Power Rankings Panel!
How to vote:
Please vote here by 8/30 : Official Pre-Season Vote The two polls will be posted on 8/31.
We encouraged folks to share their votes and reasoning, but this is not required. You will get attacked. Embrace it!
"Panel" v. "SECR Open"
The "Panel" is a group of 2-3 voters per team, and discusses and votes within a set of guidelines.
The "SECR Open" poll allows anyone to vote, and no votes are discarded.
We might have a few spots available for the official panel - please indicate your team and interest in this thread.
We aim to have 2-3 voters per team and request that you remain active for the entire season, even if your team is terrible (you know who you are).
What is a "Power Ranking"?
This question comes up every year. This is from Google, but please interpret how you see fit and vote accordingly.
Power rankings are periodic lists that rank sports teams or players from best to worst based on current form, strength, and recent performance rather than just official win-loss records
Standings: Purely mathematical. They rank teams strictly by wins, losses, and ties.
Power Rankings: Flexible and interpretive. A team with a worse record might rank higher than a first-place team if experts believe they are playing better at the moment.
Power Rankings Guidance:

Never ever underestimate the power of TD. They found a stolen trailer in a few hours when BRPD couldn't.
They had posters taking pictures stalking the damn thing from down the street. It was absolutely brilliant.

No I think this is about lane kiffin trying to win football games.
Lane left Ole Miss - I don't think he has any sort of vendetta against them or animosity.
He wants to win a title - that is it.

I have to say, I worked for a company back in 2010 where the CEO was the founder. His standard expectation was to write each email as if you were writing a formal letter, especially to clients. I took that with me and still use that standard today for the majority of emails.
I worked for GE for many years, and I was under Steve Bolze's umbrella (former CEO of GE Power). He was quite the opposite, at least internally.
He said he would right the title of the email, and the first two lines, so make sure you are short, sweet, and to the point.

2019
LSU #1 UGA #4
LSU was a -7.5 favorite

LSU #13 UGA #2
UGA was a -7.5 favorite
LSU should have won in 2019 and did. UGA should have won in 2018, and they didn't.

Nope - We just spent the better part of 100 million building this thing ($50 million buyout, $50 million roster) we aren't going to drop another $80 million buyout.

USC lost to Cal. LSU lost to UF.
USC beat AU 23-0
LSU beat Auburn 31-7
We will never know, but it’s probably 50-50.

He was in shock with multiple systems organ failure. The protocol is to transfer to the closest facility with an open bed and the specialist care needed. He was transferred to ACH from Shreveport which is closer to Little Rock than New Orleans.
I assumed “LSU Medical” meant New Orleans not Shreveport. Your post makes much more sense.

A bit off topic but is ACH that much better than CHNO that they flew him several hundred miles away?

re: Most impressive thing you watched your dad do
Posted by TheDeathValley on 8/17/26 at 9:00 am to LSU Coyote
My dad was a seismic engineer, spent most of his career on the oil rigs. He is a big old baw, and a tough son of a bitch.
We have a family tradition at events where everyone tries to throw everyone else into the pool. It's friendly, everyone is already planning to swim anyway, but the smaller and younger get picked off first.
My dad was the last man standing. Five us tried to throw him in. It didn't work. We did everything, and he wrestled and fended us off like it was his last stand. We finally gave up after 10 minutes, and he jumped into the pool on his own.
I knew my dad was strong and tough, but watching him single handily fend off all of us, I knew he was a baw.
He is still alive, in his 70s, still going strong. He passed by my house last week just to say hi, and then proceeded to help me fix my weedeater. No idea how he knew it was broken, or how to fix it. Old man intution I guess.
