The College Football Thread 8/30 - 9/3

[Matt Young]

LMAO! Michigan goes from #5 to unranked. Hilarious.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I'll argue against Miami being considered a top team in the ACC Costal for the time being.

 

They've got a new coach in Randy Shannon but I wouldn't sell them as being on par with V-Tech or the Ramblin' Wreck yet.

 

V-Tech doesn't even look that good. The ACC looks like it'll just be between GT and Clemson this year, with BC thrown in for a challenge.

 

The AP Recap was pretty sad (as in pathetic, not depressing) as well. Of course all they're going to focus on is the shooting, and if V-Tech has a shit performance... "Well, they're just so BURDENED and saddened in their hearts that's it's difficult to overcome these obstacles!".. or if V-Tech has a great performance.. "They triumphed against all odds!"

 

Ugh.

 

Also, the new polls are out. Goodbye, Michigan!

Ouch.

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

I wonder where Michigan is ranked out of 119. I'd guess in the 26-35 range.

[The Robfather]

Who gave West Virginia a first place vote?

[MFer]

I wonder where Michigan is ranked out of 119. I'd guess in the 26-35 range.

Based on the "Others Receiving Votes" column, Michigan is T-32 (with South Carolina with 39 votes) in the AP poll and 27 (with 132 votes) in the USA Today poll.

[Guest Smues]

Washington got 1 vote in each poll, placing them at a tie for 40th in the AP and a tie for 41st in the coaches poll. That'll likely be all the votes UW gets all year, so I'll enjoy it for a week. Woo 40!
