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

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 Coaches Poll is so out of date.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 researchQuote:

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

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

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

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

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

Seriously, that was an insane 6 week run that may never be duplicated
That would be incredibly sweet. I loved that season... well, until the disappointing finishQuote:

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.Quote:

That's special by itself without slogans and clothing designers.Quote:

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.Quote:
