Bigger roflcopter at UGA being 14. Okay, maybe not biggest. How the hell is ND ranked after another shitty season? Anyway, UGA should be in the 20s, if even ranked at all.

[Plow]

Oh and I almost forgot

Others receiving votes: Utah(27), Rutgers(25), Michigan State(22), Oregon State(14), Pittsburgh(10), Clemson(10), UCLA(7), Houston(6), Arkansas(5), Cincinnati(5), Texas Tech(5), Colorado(4), Illinois(4), South Florida(1), South Carolina(1)

Fuck yeah, real NC contender from the Big 10, sup?

[Akiyama]

Rofl. How'd Illinois get votes? Gonna guess it's because of the Zooker.

[Headspace]

Those nappy headed hoes.

[Mizango]

Those nappy headed hoes.

LMAO

[Ryany]

Rofl. How'd Illinois get votes? Gonna guess it's because of the Zooker.

I'm guessing it is by potential from the players they put on the field. They have always seemed to have good recruiting classes under Zook even though he is a recruiter that can't coach.

[Ishido]

Colorado(4)

Votes from a preseason poll fuck yeahhhhh

Big 12 champ here we come

While on the subject of rankings, and also as an addition to the strength of schedule arguments, here is a little something a ND blog threw together (no bias either on this, ND's schedule is a joke this year and is ranked accordingly):

Poll Dancing: Coaches PreseasonEdition - Rakes Of Mallow

I'd copypasta it, but it looks awful as it is in a table.

[Diamicles]

The most ass-backwards part of preseason polls is that they factor into BCS rankings.

Proof positive that having a big team name will always make you 'better' than a great football team from a smaller less popular football school (hi2u Utah last season)

[Kirin]

Scratch Virginia Tech...

Virginia Tech leading rusher Darren Evans, who set several school records as a freshman, will miss the entire season with a torn left ACL he suffered in practice on Tuesday, the school announced.

It's a huge blow to a young team that was ranked No. 7 in the preseason USA Today coaches' poll and was expected to contend for the national title for the first time in a decade.

Just reported on ESPN.

[Stiker]

Ouch that really sucks...only silver lining there is he gets a redshirt year.

[Mizango]

Kirins back! :D

Let the hate begin...

[FNH]

Scratch Virginia Tech...



Just reported on ESPN.

Not as worried about UA opener now. ESPN Gameday might want to change venues now.

I feel bad for the kid, but it was always Tech's defense that had me worried. I hope Bama doesn't take this game too lightly now, I could definitely see some defense/special teams plays being a factor since all I hear from my Hokie friends is "Beamerball."

[Akiyama]

Yeah, and Beamerball didn't help them last year against Eastern Carolina. This is a big game for Bama to test themselves. ACC isn't the toughest conference around, but it's good to gauge themselves against another National Power.

LOL @ Rece Davis for voting Bama #4 btw.

That's not that bad. He only gave them one spot higher than most, he could have been a real homer and gave them #1.

[Koyuki]

ND at 18? Ehhh what?

[Bregor]

That's not that bad. He only gave them one spot higher than most, he could have been a real homer and gave them #1.

But then an angry God would smite him with fireballs and thunderbolts from the skies for disrespecting the Tebow-Child, yea, for He must be honored with consensus number one rankings.
