Logan Lowery voted us #24. What an ass.
Ole Miss paid the Gold Price for their ranking. Mississippi State paid the Iron Price.
If we win the next two games are we top? Three wins against top 10 teams should warrant top 2 imo.
8 of the top 17 are SEC. That's disgustingly deep.
SC and UGA should not be ahead of us, but it's hard to argue with #14 considering we weren't even in it last week.
14........that's awesome.
I don't know about Logan Lowery.
Hack, I'm preaching to the choir here, but you well know that good public relations requires greasing the skids. In Washington, they call that lobbying. In college sports we call it, well, we don't have a word for it.
Ole Miss is elite at PR. As any good PR goes, don't think there aren't media people who they have "good relations" with.
The crap Booger McFarland, for example, says is really hard to substantiate.
Who?
FWIW, when we beat Florida in 2010, I Tweeted at one reporter who voted Florida in his ballot and not us, and he replied with something to the effect of "Hmmm, that's a good point. I'll make sure to include the Bulldogs next week." And he did.
So it is possible to influence voters over Twitter. We as a fanbase should have a coordinated effort to Tweet at voters who put us lower than 15 and (politely and in a logical, non-emotional manner) make the case to move us up.
The problem is you shouldn't have an $18,000 a year print writer voting.
