Status quo for the pre-season rankings; I think they throw the same names in a hat and pick from a hat

[IncrediBULL]

Funny UCF gets votes and we don't.  I guess they had to since they finished top 25 last year.  There losses against bcs teams last year, and again they will lose this year, will quickly take them off the list.

We need to beat ND if we want to show we belong.  Then some easy/cake games, before we get into the mix.

Gotta win at ND.  They are overrated. 

[Ricky the Bull]

I prefer to think that we're vastly underrated than Notre Dame be overrated.  I hope ND only loses one more game after they lose to us.  The reason for the extra loss is that they would probably get ranked ahead of us, otherwise, just because they're Notre Dame.

Such horsefeathers that UCiF received points. Those people should lose their vote.

I lol'd at these

[Danm1983]

the fact georgia and florida are ranked is a sham.

the fact they're not ranked 24 and 25 is an even bigger sham.

the fact texas and penn state lead 'also receiving votes' when both teams are mediocre and have QB/offensive questions is a sham.

ucf getting votes is laughable.

good ole preseason good ole boy polls. it's all good, we'll settle this on the field and take that number from UND and they can have our no number.
