    Also, although I'm optimistic this year as a Michigan fan, whoever gave them a first place vote is an idiot.

    I didn't see Ohio State at first, wondering why didn't receive any votes. Then, look at the poll, ESPN doesn't have the 18th ranked in the poll; it goes from 17th to 19th.
  • karen lotz
    Guy that covers Illinois voted Michigan #1
  • cats gone wild
    I know this is goons attempt to flame/troll.......but "no where near"?? I was looking in the teens for LSU, but I had to look all the way up to the #3 spot. That's def no where near #1.

    Wow, I'm sorry. That post was full of grammatical errors.



    W    hen ESPN originally put up the poll, they failed to place Ohio State in there, going from seventeen to nineteen in the rankings.
  • sleeper
    LOL at Georgia, south carolina and arkansas being top 10. All of these schools should be unranked.

    gotcha' :thumbup:

    About right. I still do not understand the love with Florida St. The ACC is weak, and FSU hasn't proven they are anywhere near a top 10 team.
    I also don't get why Georgia is 6. They will obviously benefit from the fact their schedule avoids Ark, LSU, and Bama. So, they will continue to win and really, they will not prove anything.
    Wis and MSU are too low in my view. They should be just inside the top 10.

    Ah, football is so close.

    I usually say you guys are full of shit with the ESPN hates OSU bullshit, but I don't recall them hiding USC in their publishing of the AP poll in the past 2 years. This is pretty shitty of them

    Florida barely scoots by BGSU and South Carolina shouldn't even be ranked after the garbage performance against Vanderbilt.

    SEC overrated after week 1, again.

    Wisc, MSU, and Mich looked like champs this past w/e. btw, B1G is 0-1 this year vs the SEC head to head. Oklahoma and ND are the ones you should complain about.

    ND is over rated at 22? Seriously? I could under stand if they were top 10 but 22? And yes Georgia, Florida, south Carolina are definitely over rated. But do is Wisconsin.
  • Rotinaj
    I really don't see how someone can say a team that is ranked 24th at this point in the season is overrated.

    For sleeper they would be, and he would usually complain about that. And he would complain about them jumping teams that were already ranked who didnt lose. It was just a shock to see him not bash ND. ND is not over ranked imo. If you are complaining about my post about ND, then how can you say UF is over rated?

    Florida I believe isn't a top 25 team. They struggled big time against bg. I didn't clarify that nd also beat navy 50-10. So it's not like they struggled to beat a bad opponent.

    Northern Iowa would win the SEC most years; well at least they would win the East, but so could my high school football team.

    Yea, you're probably right. My apologies.
