Guest Tigrinum Major Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 How They Voted In The Coaches Poll Some notables: Tuberville: Auburn at #4 Nutt: Auburn at #3 Blakeney: Auburn at #4 Brooks: Auburn at #4 Pat Hill: Auburn at #5 Spurrier: Auburn at #6, UGA at #4, Norte Dame at #14 Bobby Wallace:Auburn at #5 Most of the others had Auburn between 7 and 9, with a smattering of 10s and 11s, which I have no problem with. It is their opinion. However... One not so notable ballot: Frank Solich: LSU at #5, VA Tech at #7, UGA at#15, Auburn at #13, Bama at #10 Make your own assumptions.

KunzelTiger 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I noticed that about Solich too....has he not watched the last two weeks of football? I mean, it doesn't really matter and he is entitled to his own opinion..but sometimes..opinions are just incorrect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Didn't Solich just get busted for DUI? That would explain a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle_57 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was surprised there wasn't a topic about this yet, so I posted it, only to see this right after that. Not sure how i missed it. So I'll just put snippets of what I said here, and delete my thread. Crooms also put us behind UGA at #8. I guess he forgot that we whooped their tales by about 20 points for that UGA did. There is just so much to look at. Anyone outside of the top 3 now can find tons to complain about. One ballot that really bothered me was Frank Solich..... Had us at 13 and bama at 10. puke.gif He also had UGA at 15, and LSU at 5. I think he thought he was voted for the week of Nov 13. What's he got against us anyway?

Raven_tiger 5 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Spurrier: Auburn at #6, UGA at #4, Norte Dame at #14 Tommy should have pasted another TD on them... Frank Solich: LSU at #5, VA Tech at #7, UGA at#15, Auburn at #13, Bama at #10Make your own assumptions. Obviously Solich was guilty of VWI... Voting While Intoxicated.

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Breaking news: In a followup interview with Frank Solich, the Ohio Bobcats coach defended his rankings of Auburn and Alabama by saying, "Well, I read that interview with Brodie and he had me convinced that Alabama finished strong in that game and actually won the last three quarters." When pressed further concerning his LSU and Georgia rankings, he responded by passing out at his desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinook 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 ditto for all the above statments. i thought it was interesting that mack brown didn't put texas in the number 1 spot. maybe he doesn't want to jinx the team (?). even richt didn't put georgia ahead of auburn.

Fluffed 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'm a little offended by some of these ranks. Did anyone else see that Barry Alvarez put us at 9th? After the Captital One, I'm thinking he'll call us #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we jump the winner of that game. If we handle business and make a statement with a convincing win we will finish at #5, assuming that Oregon beats OU, which I don't think they will, Adrian Peterson has a good game in this one. If UGA wins I think they are still voted behind, unless their win is a thumping one over WVU and we inch by the badgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auee90 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 And Petrino has us at #9. Hard feelings from Petrino-gate? He was the suitor, so should feel flattered. Or maybe that's just his honest opinion, and he was busy coaching instead of watching our last two games. And Charlie Weis has ND at #4. Go figure.

I didn't mean to say we would be ranked #3 after our bowl game. I was only saying two things. 1. I don't like Barry Alvarez under-rating us with his vote for AU to be #9 ..and.. 2. I think/hope we'll impress him enough with an AU dominating victory that HE will believe we are the #3 team and that HE will cast HIS vote for AU at #3. Just as Houston Nutt has already done. (I think we'll end up #5 myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsixfive 327 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Richt's Vote#5 Oregon #6 Auburn #7 Georgia #9 West Virginia #10 Miami 203761[/snapback] So Richt things Oregon would beat UGA? Or that WVU would beat UM (this one is a little more understandable, hyping them up before they get smacked)? I'm not singling him out, but using him as an example. This is one of the problems I have with voting... people will put obviously worse teams ahead of obviously better teams. Instead of looking at the WL column, someone needs to analyze the games and decide that a 10-2 UGA would beat 10-1 UO with 80% probability, therefore, UGA gets the nod. Instead, they leave the polls in the hands of the coaches, who only get to see game films of the teams they play, and the media, who is on puppet strings.

CarolinaTiger 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 coach fran has ND at 3rd. surely he doesn't think he'd become their next HC if weis somehow fails to succeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLink02 8 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 So Richt things Oregon would beat UGA? No, he probably believes that the Oregon team had 1 loss compared to UGA's 2 and thus deserved to be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
