twi Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Texas or Penn State, if you're doing it right. Penn State arguably. Texas? No way.Really? They are undefeated and beat the #1 team. I don't think they are the best team in the country but the way these (real life) polls go I think they're attractive to the voters. btw, are you putting the poll together this week?

Epiphanic Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Really? They are undefeated and beat the #1 team. I don't think they are the best team in the country but the way these (real life) polls go I think they're attractive to the voters. btw, are you putting the poll together this week?One, yes really. Although when I look at my rankings, saying Texas is definitively not #1 might be a little strong, I stand by statement. According to my system, Alabama and Texas are 1-2 in "Rating/Game". They are both 6-0 and while Alabama has only beaten 4 teams with a record of .500 or better (compared to Texas' 5 such teams), Alabama's opposition has achieved their records against stiffer competition (and are therefore assumed to be better and indirectly rewarding Alabama. It is pretty close, but I'd give the edge to Alabama. With respect to total "Rating" Alabama and Texas are 3-4 behind Utah and Penn State. Those two teams are currently ahead due to them being 7-0 instead of 6-0. I realize why real life voters put Texas #1, but that doesn't make it the right decision. (See Oklahoma)Two, I don't know. I can if need be, but it's not set in stone. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliott Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 A vote for BYU #1? Seriously? I think 95% of the teams currently in the top 25 would beat BYU. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you underestimate them my friend. I didn't get my ballot in this week but they would have been in my top 5. Personally I think Penn State is #1.

I think you underestimate them my friend. I didn't get my ballot in this week but they would have been in my top 5. Personally I think Penn State is #1.After seeing what the SEC has done to The Ohio State for the last few years, I can't take the Big 10 seriously, and thus I hope it is a Big12-SEC championship game.There fixed it for you. OSU has given the reason why no one is big on the Big Ten the last few years. I believe there are teams from the Big Ten that would give the Big 12 and the SEC a scare. This year is a down year for the Big Ten, but I think the only legitimate threat would be Penn State. If you gave me Bama or Penn State, i'm taking the Lions.

Gary Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I can honestly say the top 5 will be unchanged, although, I will say USC could come knocking on the door. There will be a new member to the top 10, and there will be new members to the top 25 next week.All in all9 out of the top 10 were either idle or won14 of the top 25 won3 were idle8 lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
