I guess the media's undying devotion and love

For Oklahoma means they are so invested in their passion and belief in "Big Game Bob" they just constantly push them into the top 5 year after year. It stands to reason, the law of averages has to come into effect over time and "prove" their devotion was warrented? Otherwise, what could possibly justify this constant drumbeat for the once blue bloods of CFB?

Oklahoma will have a very good team coming back

this year, a team that made the playoffs last year. Why wouldn't they be in the top 5 again this year?

I know what you're saying, but has anyone ever picked the top 10 teams at season end. Personally I don't remember anybody ever picking the top 10 teams in order, ever!!!

So is this still like other years where we should ignore
Apr 26, 2016, 1:09 PM

the polls because ESPN is stupid and they are always wrong? Or has our tune changed now that we are actually in their favor?

You should ignore the polls because they mean jack squat

That isn't an ESPiN link.

ESPiN will have at least 7, more likely 9, SEC teams in their top 25 and probably two in the top five and five in the top ten.
So yeah, if you're an SEC fan you shouldn't read anything that isn't from ESPiN.

I believe that they do see and know about what is happening with us, just from a better seat that could be bought in any stadium!!!

I think you tagged us with an extra loss. I count UGA, FSU (3), Bama. Great record either way!
