2014 Preseason and Regular Season Polls

[Mike80]

So you don't think the committee will put in 3 S-E-C!!!! teams? Current Coaches (or their assistants, or 5 year old granddaughter, or janitor, or whoever else they decide to have fill out the poll for them) Poll would have that as 3 of the 4 teams.

Nope. too many ADs and former ADs are on the selection committee. E$$$ECPN might think it carries the biggest stick when it comes to influence, but we'll just see what happens.

I still think conference championships will matter more than the meaningless and media driven polls.

It would have been so simple to have had an 8 team playoff with 6 conference champs and 2 at large picks....but noooooo

Someone should let Bert know that dark colors are more slimming.

Not a lot of 'slimming' going on when you wear a hot air balloon for a windbreaker...

lol @ LSU getting back in the rankings.... such crap

The good news is that the Buckeyes are less than half a vote behind #11 on the average coaches card and not really all that far out of top 10. Baylor nearly in dead heat, so things are volatile. On the meaningless AP poll, Bucks are a full two votes out of 12th place on the average card.

 

[BUCKYLE]

Um, the coaches poll is just as meaningless as the AP.

Yeah, but...SEC.

Bama gets the SEC circle jerk bump for beating aTm.

SEC West division has four of the top five teams in the AP poll. No bias there...

The media refuses to admit in their self perpetuating nonsense that maybe a win over SC LSU Mizzou or ATM isn't worth dog shit at this point.

The playoff has already been decided, it is the SEC Champ, The SEC West runner up, FSU and Notre Dame.

Seriously, though, in the year it was LSU v. Bama for the BCS Title.... wasn't that the worst BCS Championship ratings ever? I was thinking about that today as I saw 3 SEC teams and Free Shoes... who the fuck is gonna watch that? Mississippi, Bama, and parts of Florida?

That's like 12 working televisions...

God luck with that.

@Nutriaitch @BigWoof31
Would you agree that the popularity of SEC football is mostly regional? Speaking in terms of the casual fan.
