Not Ranked in Preseason Coach's Poll

[ShotgunDawg]

Funny how we go from basically consensus top 20 in computer models to unranked once humans that care about helmet logos start voting.

[ShotgunDawg]

We're essentially 27th. Coaches Poll is so out of date. We'll be top 20 by Auburn

They honestly need to do away with the coaches poll. It's a joke.

Agree. The people voting don't follow the sport from the right perspective and they certainly don't do research

[msu15]

I don't know how Auburn can be ranked ahead of us.

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't know how Auburn can be ranked ahead of us.

All the SIDs see is 1. Lost QB 2. Lost 3 1st rd draft picks 3. Mississippi State

All these advanced analytics that have become common knowledge weren't considered in this. For all the progress CFB has made in accurate rankings, we revert back to 1975 with this poll. It's silly

[msstate7]

I don't know how Auburn can be ranked ahead of us.

FPI and S&P+ have them ahead of us too. Auburn could be really damn good if Nix is ready

Well, looks like we would be 19th if Joe hadn't crapped the bed in our bowl game

What's ridiculous is that this is probably correct, which tells you everything you need to know about this poll

[BuckyIsAB****]

Good

Gatewood is the likely starter.

[BigEasyDawg]

I was wondering what Jack wagon actually voted for UNM but then I saw where ol' Hugh is on the poll. LOL

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Well, looks like we would be 19th if Joe hadn't crapped the bed in our bowl game

Wait. Joe told Guidry to drop a touchdown pass that hit him in the chest? Offensive guru my ass!

[msstate7]

Gatewood is the likely starter.

You think he holds em off all year? I really like nix

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Million dollar question

[Jack Lambert]

Question is do the coaches actually vote or do they give the responsibility of it to someone else because they don't have time?

[drunkernhelldawg]

The ridiculousness off this poll proves itself weekly. Most of these coaches barely look at these ballots. I think they probably keep checking off with what they had in the first poll.. Then back to film..

[thf24]

I've always been under the impression it's usually some GA doing the voting.

[sleepy dawg]

I mean, as far as it meaning anything, it is gone. It means nothing. The only thing that gives it power is individuals who pay attention to it. When you decide it means nothing, it no longer does. It doesn't count toward anything anymore.

I smell 2014 **

From out of nowhere ...

Seriously, that was an insane 6 week run that may never be duplicated

From the highs of winning in Death Valley and beating Auburn to become number 1 to the lows of shitting the bed against a one legged QB in the Egg Bowl. When that little shit safety for UM took Dak's legs out after the whistle and it didn't start a fight, I knew we were going to lose. Then turning around and acting like we have never seen a damn option before in the Orange Bowl. Dak throwing for 450 yards was the only thing that made that game worth flying to Miami.

Elston was the OM safety. He's a Philadelphia eagle, so not a crappy player. He certainly could be a crappy person though, no idea

When I called him a little shit, I wasn't referring to his playing ability. He was a piece of shit for taking a cheap shot on our QB's knees and flipping him over onto his head after the whistle and everyone was stopped.

It was a great run, but what a horrible ending. I don't really celebrate that season. It was great to be No. 1, but losing three of four to finish was the worst kind of downer. We Believe made it even worse. Reminds of those space suit uniforms we wore while getting our ass handed to us by Texas A and M. Maybe just play football. That's special by itself without slogans and clothing designers.

We won 10 and made the orange bowl. Was it a disappointing finish? Hell yeah, but that about as good a season collectively as we can have. No way should you not celebrate 2014 as a state fan

I have a friend who played college ball at big SEC school and his brother is a GA at another SEC school and I believe I remember him telling me that many of them do that very thing. So yeah, they vote sticker on the helmet or chalk most of the time.

I get your point, and you're right. But it still hurts some. I do realize that it's challenging to perform at championship level week after week. I'd say that's a big part of the difference between the top and the rest.

Preseason polls are an excellent way to remember why there are NO legitimate national championships in division 1 football before the BCS and now the playoff.

[PMDawg]

Wait. Joe told Guidry to drop a touchdown pass that hit him in the chest? Offensive guru my ass!

Well, don't let a game against an entirely inferior team come down to one play.

Moorhead's offense was trash against every good defense we played last year, with the exception of Auburn. And he abandoned "his" offense that game.

1-11 with a win vs. OM is better than 11-1 with a loss to OM in a lot of State fans eyes. Same can be said about OM. I like to think that 2014 was from the ‘13 Egg Bowl to the 51-0 Vandy game. Feels better to think about it that way.

I don't believe there are very many of our fans who feel that way. You would have to question the intelligence of any who do.

You live in the Elitedawg bubble and call them “not real fans” or “sidewalk fans” then. Lotta people don’t care all that much but want bragging rights in the office.

Well, where I work there are literally hundreds of state fans. I've never heard one say that. And that's IRL, not in my bubble!

[Coach34]

I don't know how Auburn can be ranked ahead of us.

Auburn has the best DL in the country and a top 5 OL. They are at worst as good as we are and we play them at Auburn. I dont see any reason why we would be ranked ahead of them

Here we have the Rebal troll- I'm 50 years old and do not know 1 State fan that feels this way.

Auburn sure made one hell of a jump on the OL from a year ago when they couldnt block me

I’m willing to bet anything I have more degrees from MSU than you. You people act like we’ve always been good. Before Mullen came in, a good season was a win over OM. Double digit wins was a pipe dream.

The 1999 team says, "Hello."

[drunkernhelldawg]

The 1999 team says, "Hello."

Seriously. Not to mention the increase in the number of games played. 10 of 12 (83 percent) is better than 10 of 13 (77 percent). Ten of 12 is just three percentage points better than 8 of 10.

Sherrill did have a 4 year run where we had the most wins in the SEC West with a Championship game appearance.

Well to be fair, he only won 9 1 time, and that was the year he won 10, 1999

[dantheman4248]

The 1999 team says, "Hello."
1902-1939, 1941-1998, and 2000-2008 all say hi back. 102 seasons versus 2 seasons.

If I gave you a 2 out of 104 chance at winning a prize, you wouldn?t call those odds anything but nonexistent.

Pipe dream = an illusory or fantastic plan, hope, or story. An unrealizable dream.

You said: "Before Mullen came in, a good season was a win over OM. Double digit wins was a pipe dream."

For someone who just bragged about how many degrees he has, you sure screwed that one up. Don't even get me started on nonexistent.

If you’re well ackshully’ing me.... “pipe dream (plural pipe dreams)

(idiomatic) A plan, desire, or idea that will not likely work; a near impossibility.
I think that his plan to become a professional athlete is a pipe dream and that he should stay in school.”

“Not likely”

Not that hard to comprehend what it means. Don’t get why you’re taking such offense to this school’s history circa 10 years ago. It’s fact that we went 2 for 104 on getting double digit wins.

Swear it’s the snowflake generation that takes offense to facts ruining this country.

The troll first started with this - "1-11 with a win vs. OM is better than 11-1 with a loss to OM in a lot of State fans eyes"

I see he's changed bait a couple of times.

You're right Dancing Rabbit. I was going to respond to his last dumbassed post, but I'm done talking to a troll. When you call something a pipe dream that ACTUALLY happened within the last 10 tries of your time frame, you're not debating. You're arguing just to try to win the argument, or you're trolling. Then, he insinuates snowflake because someone disagrees with him and called him out on his inaccuracy.

Not to mention the "We Believe" stuff wasn't even from the 2014 season. That came from like the 2012 team. Get your facts straight.
