Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2014 11:53 amSure am glad Steve O. is no longer here. Now we don't have the pressure of trying to be top 25 in all that we do. 
At least we will be in the top 25 of the AAC.

Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2014 12:49 pmUpsets happen. That's why they play the game.
That being said, I'm not laying any bets right now.

Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2014 1:27 pmSome of you missed the point--not a single team not in the P-5 was listed.
Boys, it will only get worse.
Laugh as much as you want about Orsini, but "winning" was not even on the list of published goals and objectives of the athletic department this year.

Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:10 pmRankings are designed to create the perception of domination. They are not the truth, or even much of an attempt at reality. It's only wishful thinking.
We know there is a power grab happening whereby a certain mutual admiration society is gangstering the tv pot to protect their multi-million dollar salaries.
Tv execs and print editors like the oversimplication, it is easier for them.
Football is a complex sport, though, with many variables, the ball bounces strange.
Time to climb back on the pony and ride.
We have only begun to fight.

Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:33 pmPreseason polls are great. Last year, the preseason poll had Florida State at No. 13, just one spot ahead of Texas.
Oops.
Oops.

Florida was preseason ranked. Auburn was not.
The preseason polls only mean one thing: 25 teams have a perception advantage to begin the year to help them either climb in the polls or fall shorter distances when they lose.
