Isn't Alabama currently ranked #20 in the polls? Besides, what ranking do you expect from a team that went 6-6 last year and 4-9 two years ago? They usually don't start them off in the top ten (or top 25) with those types of seasons, and close wins against the likes of Southern Miss don't help much in the rankings. edited to add: Its actually a fairly basic concept. If you finish in the top 10 one year, there is a good chance you will begin at least in the top 15 next season. If you go 4-9, well there's not much chance the pollsters will vault you into the top 25 until you actually beat some decent teams... |

Ducks won.
Next week is going to be one hell of a game with USC coming to town. It will be LOUD. |
|
The Arkansas Razorbacks got stomped about 8" below ground level. Sucked.

We'll do our best to get some revenge for you. |

Amen Brother! That was a pretty good game, and to see Darth Visor throw that clipboard down in disgust was a thing of beauty! Hopefully some of the players will stay healthy this year and get it all back on track. And dont worry Jason, they will...........gotta get the kinks out and get some depth built

No. I'm saying that Nebraska will get the west coast going in a couple of years. Virginia has a good system, its just not going to get the talent that a Nebraska can. I'm saying that it takes a few years to adjust the west coast to college. I like UVA, but I'm really a Husker fan. |

My Wolverines won, but it really doesn't matter. I can't see anyone beating USC or VT.

Great Game! Finally we have a head coach, instead of Foley's flunky friend. I'd like to see Chris Leak capitalize on some of those open plays a little better. But overall, I was very pleased. Alumni from 88 |

How silly of me not to recognize the lifelong dedication you've had for the Hurricanes. I don't know,...maybe it was the wildly loyal-to-the-Orange-and-Green way you opened your ridiculous post?
Do us REAL FANS a favor and stay the hell out of the Orange Bowl. It's fair-weather, "Love them when they WIN - Hate them when they're Down" BULLSHIT phoney fans like YOU that give Miami fans a bad name. Yeah, that Coker sucks at recruiting. EVERY team in the country wanted W. Williams and L Legget. Coker got them. You're a MORON. And thanks for writing off a very young, yet promising team off after just 2 GAMES - BOTH AGAINST RANKED TEAMS. Worst thing about your type of 'fan' is that you'll be there on the steps of the courthouse on Flagler when the Canes win the National Championship telling everyone how you're their biggest supporter. |

Hmm...go Tide.
Bama 37 South Carolina 14 (Steve Spurrier) Never know which Alabama team will show up. |

Fixed it for you. Now bugger off. |

Ann Arbor is a WHORE! |

Fixed yours for ya. Now bend over. |

UofMs record vs Illinois 65 wins 21 losses 2 ties Illinois has what a total of 4 wins and 2 ties vs UofM in the last 45+ years? |

Yeah, you struck me as swinging that way. |
|
|
someone takes college football a tad seriously WTF? You give Miami fans a bad enough name all by yourself |

I owe no one an apology for being a fan. I believe the title of this thread was: "How did your FAVORITE School.....etc" To post a Canes-Bashing ditribe in the midst of real fans celebrating their team's performances was typical behavior of an attention-starved Troll.

I hope so, all I've been hearing about all day is how bad Arkansas is and that Texas is best. Rice? The Little Sisters of the Poor, Louisiana-Lafayette? SC is #1 and will stay that way until somebody knocks them off and that doesn't look too very likely. |

No, you owe everyone an apology for acting like an asshole. |

Yea, too bad for UT. Instant replay foiled another potential ref'ing call debacle (1yard line trap catch by UT receiver).
F'cking hilarious watching Fulmer throw his clip board ala' Spurrier. Anyway, looks like another wacky SEC session is shaping up. Go Gators! |

If they are number 20 now, that's great, I didn't see it. Last year is supposed to be irrelevant . The rankings are SUPPOSED to be based on what they are doing NOW, not last year. I don't think it's a fair concept at all. Say a team finishes top 10 one year and graduates or sends to jails all it's seniors. It is NOT the same team that finished the previous season. Like I said, Bama beat SC a lot worse than the chihuahuas did, so how can the mutts be rated higher, based on common opponents, right now SC being the only one? |

Bears won over the Illini 35-20, so far has won all their games

You clearly do not understand the ranking/poll system in college football. But, for arguments sake, let's take your approach. How many teams have been ranked at the time Alabama played them? In case you don't know, the answer is zero. UGA opened the season with a 30-pt victory over Boise St (which was #18 at the time). Alabama hasn't even played a team to be ranked in the top 50 this year, so your logic is a little flawed. So, please enlighten me. What has Alabama done to deserve a higher ranking? Beating a team with a losing record proves nothing (except to you). Remember, it doesn't matter if you win by one point or fifty, a win is a win. Just ask Auburn the last three years! |
|
|
Bama 37 SC 14 Georgia 17 SC 15 That's enough. As for Boise being #18, that's a joke. Part of the polls IS score, so a win by one point is NOT the same as a win by fifty points. That's funny, a chihuahua fan talking about logic. |

Wow, just wow....
Larry, your post simply doesn't make a lot of sense. Here's a direct quote from you:
So, let's look at this year (again). How many ranked teams has Alabama played? Ok, how many ranked teams has Alabama beaten this year? In case you are still confused, the answer remains zero. Furthermore, this may be a shot to your ego to admit this, but previous year's results factor greatly in to polling systems. A 6-6 from last year team is not going to shoot up the polls simply because they have beaten a few substandard teams. Also, in case you have forgotten, Alabama didn't exactly light it up against Mid Tennessee State or Southern Miss. In fact, they struggled in both of those games. Maybe you only mean "what they did last week", or "what they have done against teams who've played Georgia". Honestly, what part of this is going over your head? Like I said, you really aren't making a lot of sense here. But, I will commend you on your infantile labeling of the team. However, I'm sure you can do better than that. By the way, when was the last time Alabama even beat the "chihuahuas"? Oh, thats right, that was long ago and it doesn't matter any more. Look, Alabama is off to a decent start, but don't get too far ahead of yourself. They still haven't played any real competition, and they really haven't shown they are that good of a team. If you can prove otherwise, feel free. Sure, they are 3-0, but they were also 3-0 last year to start the season (and ended up 6-6). Beat some real competition, and prove you are no longer a .500 (or even sub .500) team. Then, and only then, will I believe Alabama is legit. |

My purple Paladins handly defeated the Samford Bulldogs...y'all can argue about who's number one but in I-AA we actually decide that on the field...cough...playoffs...cough.

Sheesh, leave it to a chihuahua fan to go around in circles. The ONLY common opponent that the two have played this year were far more soundly trounced by Bama than UGA, who almost lost the damn game. It's called comparison. Apparently, THAT is going over your head. As far as the last time Bama beat the trembling chihuahuas, I don't remember, but as you said, it was a long time ago and has no bearing on this year. You can go round and round about last year, but THIS year's ratings should have nothing to do with last year. Yeah, Boise was ranked 18, based on LAST year, which makes it invalid. Boise is in the WAC, for Pete's sake. It's hilarious for you, an UGA fan to mention anything infantile. One of the main reasons I detest the trembling chihuahuas has been living among their fans. Talk about infantile! They don't even seem to realize when they have had a suckass season. They can't even seem to grasp the concept of COMMON OPPONENTs. I would like to see UGA play Middle Tennessee and Southern Miss. They aren't the pushovers you seem to think. |

What, if anything, does this prove?? Talk about running in circles...
No, its called irrelevant. Arguing one team is better than another without a direct head-to-head matchup is both futile and pointless. Which one are you going for? Face it, common opponents mean nothing (except to you).
OK, move somewhere else. Pretty simple, huh?
Yes, they are the pushovers everyone thinks they are. Why do you think Alabama scheduled them as their first two games? Middle Tennessee is 0-3, and has lost to Akron and North Texas. Yeah, that's a real tough team! Larry, I hope for your sake Alabama doesn't have another mediocre year. By the way you are carrying on now, I don't think you could handle it! |
||||
|
I really wish they would play each other. If they have another mediocre season, so be it, I am not the one I see in all the anguish that the UGA fans go through. I am not the fanatic, I don't drape everything I own with Bama stuff like I see houses, cars, babies done around here. |

Bad calls from the zebras my ass. We beat your ass. You want bad calls, look at last year when the SEC admitted the refs screwed up in Knoxville and suspended the entire crew. |
|
|
What is this "anguish" that the UGA fans are going through?? We've won over 40 games in the last four years, an SEC Championship, and haven't been ranked out of the top-10 since 2001. Yeah, I don't know if we can handle any more of this anguish...
Now that's funny! You have been ranting and raving about Georgia being ranked higher than Bama, and then you are going to claim to not be a fanatic?? Man, this is really getting to you more than I thought! |
||

I actually like Larry, but he is ranting alot about UGA.. Oh here's the real kicker... His second following is Ga Tech.... That should explain everything. Just talk slow to him so he can understand... LOL..... PS.. Larry Im just haveing fun .. don't take it personal.. We all are just armchair quarterbacks, You , Jason and myself........ Ive always like Bama and Always pull for them in the SEC WEST conferance. |
|||
|
Man, if you think that is ranting and raving, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Based on YOUR reasoning about ranked teams, GT should be rated higher than UGA. |

*yawn* GT 7 VT 51 I watched the Miami game, y'all are average at best. I also noticed that the stands were rather empty When you all come to the 'burg you will be nothing more than a tropical depression. Go win anyway. We need y'all ranked as high as possible to help us in the BCS poll though if USC and LSU loose this week it won't matter. |

Iowa State 28- Army21 Too bad I was working last night. Sounded like a good game....... Next week we will start Conference play AT Nebraska. That will be a good game. Milldude
