Not Ranked in Preseason Coach's Poll

I smell 2014 **

From out of nowhere ...

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 finish

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

[R2Dawg]

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

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.

[gravedigger]

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

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.

Yeah, I think that's an ole myth

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!

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.
