Media is Back to Old Polls Games & SEC Pays the Price!

It appears we are revisiting a familiar topic. Relying on media polls, which often prioritize viewership over accurate rankings, can lead to skewed perceptions.
Each statistical number next to the ranked team reflects the true strength of a team's schedule, specifically the number of top 25 teams they face. On average, an SEC team competes against 5.6 top 25 opponents, while teams from other conferences face only 1.9. This disparity in competition is often overlooked, and it may even be used to downplay the challenges SEC teams face in achieving success.
This is why I assert that the BCS played a pivotal role in establishing the SEC as a financial powerhouse in collegiate athletics.

Oh I know the BCS had flaws but they weren't in the hands of northeastern and west media pinheads.
The problem, in my humble opinion, was they allowed too many computers in, thinking they couldn't be flawed! Well, all anyone had to do at the time was research where the algorithms were created and it proved serious bias from their area! LOL! If LSU was generally accepted as #1 these so called unbiased algorithms would have them at #20 and some obscured team was placed up towards the top! LOL! After research we would find it's some nerdy kid (or old guy) in his mom's basement in the northeast! LOL! This was consistent to all computer polls and not one was unbiased! LOL!
Me personally am sick and tired for our media running the brainwashing scams they refer to as social engineering but we call propaganda. Let the kid in the basement have it if just to keep the media pinheads thinking they are more credential they that kid! Besides, I do a better job at the polls myself and guess who is at the top of my poll? Geaux Tigers!

Man, who gives a frick about the polls?
If LSU handles their business, they’ll be in the playoffs
Yall spend so much time and energy worrying about the dumbest shite. You’d think by year 32 of Tigerdroppings, yall would have figured this shite out already

It's a forum called Rant Dumbass! No one is worried and the only one freaking out is you. Take a chill pill and move on little buddy. I'm not the press and you're not Coach Kelly. Life is good, now go eat your fruitcake and be right with the world...again!

silly voter polls are irrelevant, and have been for a long time. Ignore them.
