AP and Coaches Poll - FIRE EVRYONE


Sep 12, 2021, 9:36 AM

do you think you would still have a job tomorrow if you were the one putting out the weekly polls? I know they technically mean nothing. My Favorite is when broadcasting pundits say things like "This team beat five teams that were ranked when they played" - with none of those teams even being at .500 at the end of the season.

Kings of the circular arguments


Sep 12, 2021, 9:46 AM

Clemson has a weak schedule…because all of their opponents have 1 loss in the bag before the season starts, and conference teams still have to play each other. Multiple losses means teams suck. We started out #3, so of course we are better than everybody we play. If we don’t run the table, we’re weak.

But in the SEC, they all get propped up early because they have no losses. When they have losses, they are discounted, because “SEC means more”. Wins are amplified, because “SEC means more”. SEC means more because press makes it mean more. Congrats to Georgia for beating a top 5 team. But the SEC bias is tiresome.
