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.
Where did he vote om? Lsu?Quote:

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.
Yep. Not that it would matter to folks up there, but we should make a point of calling that idiot out publicly. Nobody expects that jackass to like us, but as an AP voter, he should at least have an ounce of integrity. He clearly has none.Quote:

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.
These guys know what they're doing. There is no way it was unintentional. Lowery is a joke. He's worse than that douche that was there before him...what was his name? Locke?Quote:

But it really doesn't matter. Wins count. Rankings are for superficial fans who's more interested in what the media thinks than actually winning on the field.
Wow, this is so full of wrong as to be funny. Rankings matter, and always have in college football. There is NOTHING superficial about it. Even with the playoffs being determined by the committee, you are out-of-your-mind if you think they aren't influenced by the polls.Quote:

Just by those few lazy voters ordering their ballots in the objectively correct order for just these two teams -- that's enough to rise to 13th in the polls ahead of South Carolina.
That's right, voter ignorance and laziness cost us a spot in the polls.
If they mean nothing, what's the difference between a 4-0 NC State team and a 3-0 Florida state team. Same conference. One has a better record. One has a tiny dash before their name. You're telling me that doesn't matter?Quote:
