AP Poll Writers and how they voted


Oct 20, 2019, 7:28 PM

Before the game against Loseville, there were four voters who had us ranked #6 and eight voters who had us ranked #5. AP Poll is a complete and useless joke in the day of the Playoff Committee and the CBS poll is even more useless.

Following voters had us ranked #6 (Oct 13th)
1) Adam Zucker - CBS Sports
2) Matt Baker - Tampa Bay Times
3) Ryan Aber - The Oklahoman
4) Sam McKewon - Omaha World Herald

Following voters had us ranked #5 (Oct 13th)
5) Audrey Dahloren - WLNS TV (Lansing, MI)
6) Dave Reardon - Honolulu Star
7) David Briggs - Toledo Blade
8) Gary Horowitz - Statesman Journal (Salem, OR)
9) Matt Brown - Sports on Earth (State College, PA)
10) Matt McCoy - 610 WTVN-AM (Columbus, OH)
11) Pat Dooley - Gainesville Sun (Gainesville, FL)
12) Tom Bragg - Charleston Gazette-Mail (Charleston, WV)

There is only one poll voter this year from SC and that is Eric Boynton (Spartanburg Herald who had us ranked #1)

"Members are recused if there is a vote on their team to left. Frank Beamer would be recused for two teams. "

What does that mean? Why does Beamer have to sit out for 2 teams?

I have been saying this from the beginning. Who cares about the AP or coaches poll.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I wasn’t that critical of Coaches Poll, however


Oct 20, 2019, 8:48 PM

How do you think UF’s Mullen votes after proclaiming “Every week, playing our opponents in the SEC, is like playing a national power (sic) and a key game . . . “?

Whatever choice(s) you make makes you. Choose wisely.

Same way the homer writer from South Carolina voted in the AP. Gotta keep the home town folks happy. So I'm assuming his kids who are the ones filling out the ballot vote that way.
