Damaramu 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Oh and I wonder where everyone will be ranked in the AP Poll? It's usually different than the Coaches Poll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teke184 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 As ticked as I am at the perceived slight to LSU, it's still a better position than they opened last year in AND they don't have the bullseye on them that USC has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the preseason poll........ That's his point, and a very valid one. It's meaningless. With the new BCS slated to count each poll as 1/3 of its vote, just wait until shit gets ironed out, let the first month of the season go by, and decide who sits where then. The first three weeks of the season are teams jumping and dropping 10 and 12 ranks at a time because they lose one game or win one surprise game, and so on.

I bet you though those teams sitting in the Top 3 right now......are still undefeated and blowing opponents out by the time the first poll comes out. LSU's competition doesn't really come until they enter Georgia. USC and OU have little to no competition on there schedules........so yeah......I still think it'll be an undefeated national title game between USC and OU.

And in a move Teke may like......my uncle brought me an LSU poster after he visited NO. Instead of burning it I just hung it up on my room where it hangs to this day next to my Sooner stuff. Hey.....I gotta respect a team that can do that to my team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I like just about every SEC team. Tennessee's a good team to get behind, as is just about every SEC team. Rabid fanbase guaranteed, tradition by the boatloads, good colors, you name it. The SEC is just too damned hard to dislike because it's such a great conference in terms of competition and following, and you know that whoever the SEC champ is has EARNED that motherfucker.
