Exactly. It's garbage.. but where you are at the start of the season has a huge impact.

#20 and lose you're probably out of the top 25.. If they placed you 10 to start, you may only drop to 16-17.. Which impacts your BCS ranking, which then impacts what bowl you may get in, and then the money your school gets, the recruits you get because of that money being used to up the program, etc.


And someone was seriously saying BSU shouldn't have dropped after Oregon beat Stanford by 21? NMSU is a joke. Even KU beat them by 26.

I do think LSU is probably a little over-rated in the coaches poll though.

Bullshit. If you're ranked low at the beginning of the season and win your games you'll climb in the polls. If you're ranked low and and you lose some games...well you probably deserved to be ranked low to begin with. And bowl selections are based more on record than rank. Outside of determining who gets to play in the BCS title game the rankings don't mean shit.

I can at least see some sort of rationale for giving Ohio State a #1 vote (don't agree with it) but the #1 vote for Boise State is blatant abuse of the privilege.

Play somebody. Join a real conference.
Barring that, shut the **** up.

Chapter 2 - Having USC colors does not make you play like USC...

THere is no rationale for a #2 ranking based on beating Miami and a bunch of cupcakes.

Miami is still a higher rated team than Stanford, even though I don't think they're nearly as good. I mean, we're arguing semantics here. If OSU goes undefeated, they will have to get through Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan, and PSU and Purdue aren't exactly slouches either. So if Oregon and OSU both win out, OSU will probably still have a tougher strength of schedule.

Well, then your seat sucks. LMAO

Choke on a dick.. It doesn't happen overnight.

BSU has been moving up conferences as fast as they can. Joined big west and dominated joined WAC and dominated joined Mountain west and we will see. You know as well as I do that you can't just say "let me in". It's a combination of academics athletics and time. Just cause you like to be a dick doesn't mean you can forget about common sense.

People like you are the reason Boise State is so widely disliked.
Whining and crying, asking for respect instead of earning it. You show up wearing a shitty tuxedo with brown shoes and wonder why nobody wants you in the club. A small-time program with so-so academics, a very undersized stadium and a for-god's-sake blue football field kicking it off against tier-2 competition while the big boy's are banging heads each week.
But you feel you deserve the same ranking and bowl games they do? Please.

Ehhh your ass is showing. I have never thought that Boise State should be ranked or given a shot at anything more than what they have. I'ts ignorant people that act elitest and think they shouldn't be in the conversation that pisses me off. They have rose to every occasion What I want to see is a PLAYOFF so that each program has a chance.

This is what is idiotic "Join a real conference..." you have to earn it. They are working on it.

When you compare a top 10 team to a team who lost to the worst team in the Big 12 this year, you kind of lose all credibility in a logical discussion.

You have me there I could care less about stanford and didn't realize they were top 25. Out of conferance out of mind. Mark me as dutifully chastized.

Where is USC? Oh, that's right. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

LMAO
