paheadley 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Nice! but why is USC still in the Top 25? If they cant go to a bowl, why even vote them into the Top 25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurules16 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I believe certain people will get ticked off at all the attention and hype were getting, since in the past it has bited us in the butt. Not me, im glad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee_It_Up_AU_TIGERS 5 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I hate pre-season poles. Why can they not wait until 4 to 5 games into the season before they start making their predictions. All this does is give one team an advantage over another. Sorry this is the reason we got hosed in 04. War Eagle!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about waiting to have polls, but it is not human nature to want to rank things. As for 2004, not sure this is true, if they would have waited 4 or 5 games into the season, USC and OU would still have been 1 and 2 and since they never lost, we could never pass them. It was a faulty system then and a faulty system now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee_It_Up_AU_TIGERS 5 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 You are right it is a faulty system that needs to be fixed! I just can not understand how they can rank teams before they play. War Eagle!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guerra aguila 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 We certainly have a chance to have a top 15 ranked team by mid-season. Time will tell but I like our chances if we can do the little things, and year two on both sides of the ball should make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Year 2 will make a big difference and look out for year 3. We get another good recruiting year and we will have the necessary depth to play with anyone anytime.

Ed_ 3 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Anyone surprised that Rece Davis didn't have use in the top 25? Guy is the consummate Bama hommer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatBama 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I am sick of those that complain about preseason polls. They will exist, get over it. There is one poll that chooses to wait quite a few weeks and that is the Harris Poll, which is used in the BCS Rankings. Now... look at the Harris Poll and it is essentially identical to all of the other polls. This proves that the preseason polls have an affect on the polls that elect to wait. Why? Because those that vote in the Harris Poll still hear things about expectations from all of the teams. Unless you can convince every single poll and fan in the world to omit a preseason poll (and good luck with that) there will always be preseason polls. The coaches poll and AP poll could elect not to have them, though they will, but when they have their first official poll (week 5?) it will look eerily similar to the ESPN or CBS or any other poll they can find out there.

No the reason was that Auburn's name was not USC or Oklahoma which had little to do with who was the best. I tell Bammers all the time that if USC had been undefeated last year, Bammer would have been left out of the big game watching USC and Texas.
