We'd be 6-0 if Etling and O would have been in place at the beginning of the season! O E O (Orgeron Etling Oh My)

The polls are so bias. Everyone supporting their own agendas. It not about who's better anymore. Hasn't been for a long time. FSU continues to move up even though their scrapping by against what's suppose to be inferior competition with two losses, one being a blowout on their resume. We loss two close games and had to blow two teams out just to move back into the top 25. If we run the table, win out, and win the SEC championship, we might make the Top 12. And that's bullshite on so many levels. There's a computer ranking format in place that the NCAA refuses to recognize. The real problem with College football is and always has been the human equation in regards to ranks. It's not about who's better anymore, if it has ever been. It's about who they WANT to be the best or who they WANT to see play. And it's a shame...

The polls are just foolish. The age old philosophy that you must drop a spot if you lose. Wisky was 8th going into the game against OSU. Gave them everything they wanted and more but OSU pulled it out. If anything, Wisky proved they are ranked better than 8th but in these antiquated polls they move down 2 spots. Just an example as to why i hate these polls.
