2012 Preseason and regular polls (official thread)

[sepia5]

How does any self-respecting pollster vote a one-loss WVU ahead of a the one-loss T Tech team that just smashed them?

WVU 16 in the latest AP poll; Texas Tech 17. Coaches' Poll is even worse. WVU is 15, Texas Tech 20. It's a crime that coaches are allowed to control a portion of the BCS with their bullshit rankings. Wow.

i still think we're overrated.

our defense is legit as always, but I gotta see our O-Line do it again before I'm sold.

they've sucked for 5 of the 7 games we've played so far.

if they can play like last night for the rest of the season, we'll have a chance to win every game the rest of the way (including Bama).

if not, well I really don't want to think about that right now.

Interesting fact in the current AP rankings: http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings

There are only two 7-0 teams ranked in the top 25 and they both have "Ohio" in their name.

Poor Brady Hoke, the confusion is probably driving him to eat.

Really going out on a limb here, Muck.

The only confusion with him eating is him not making up his mind where to eat until he decides to eat from both places.

OSU drops two spots to ninth in the AP Poll, Oregon State and Oklahoma jumped them.

Got no problem with that. Oregon State is looking pretty damn good, and Oklahoma's only loss is against KSU, who looks REALLY FUCKING good.

That and we haven't quite looked the part the past two weeks...

I know its not likely to happen, but I would have no problem with Florida jumping Alabama in the polls based on the quality of their wins. Specifically, over LSU and South Carolina

I would like to see Florida jump Oregon at the least, even if it puts two SEC teams at #1 and #2 again. Oregon's schedule has kind of been a joke for a #2 team. Outside of maybe Arizona State and an improving Arizona team their schedule has been pretty easy. Oregon's schedule is kind of back loaded though, so if they make it through November undefeated then it would be warranted.

Ninth is about eleven spots higher than I'd rank the Buckeyes right now.

Buckeyes drop to #9. No surprise in that. The computers now have the Buckeyes in the low teens, with losses likely to Penn State and Wisconsin and TSUN at a pick'em.

 

[muffler dragon]

with losses likely to Penn State and Wisconsin

I should ding your ass for that.

Don't shoot the messenger...You'll note that in threads elsewhere, my friend, I do not agree with said computers.

I was being fascetious. Sorry about not presenting that well. But I must ask: what would the computers show that make you believe the Buckeyes likely lose to Penn State and Wisky?
