I'm not saying they don't deserve it, but USC always gets way more love than they deserve and I'm surprised that they weren't 2

There is nothing wrong with putting Oklahoma at number 2. You don't have to drop a team because they lost. It's stupid.

 

I was just saying the order I thought it would be, but yeah I agree that teams shouldn't fall so far in the AP Poll after losing the national championship...Unless you get spanked, but obviously that didn't happen yesterday

I honestly don't know why they even keep score in games, because there continues to be an idea among many college football fans that winning and losing games don't matter.

frankly i don't know why florida dropped earlier in the year, they only lost by an extra point which is barely even part of football.

 

Yeah agreed....I think Florida got knocked down way to far early in the season...Ole Miss was good team in a good conference and Florida lost by an extra point...Didn't they initially drop to like 8?

They dropped from 4th in both polls to 12th in the AP and 13th in the coaches.

 

And nobody knew that Ole Miss was a good team when they beat Florida. They were coming off a 3-9 season and were 2-2 this year with losses at Wake Forest and at home to a traditionally weak Vanderbilt team. Everyone thought Florida lost to one of the poorer teams in the SEC, not what turned out to be a top 15-20 team in the nation that took Alabama to the wire, won at LSU and beat Texas Tech.

Ok...I thought they played a little later on in the season and Ole Miss I remember was .500 at the time. Still I don't think they deserved to 12th or 13th...

Anyone else ready for some 2009 pre-season polls?

oh yeah. especially when we are in them :)

 

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=schlabach_mark&id=3818270

 

13? I don't know about that. I really hope we aren't picked to be really good next year, we always suck when that happens.

Im not sure 1 is a big enough sample size for that.

 

I was thinking 05' and 06, and 97 or 98 to an extent if I remember right. I also have a bit of a hangover from the 01-02 basketball season (if that's the one where we were supposed to be really good.)
