msnbc.com preseason Top 25 - College football - MSNBC.com

 

[Football Freak]

msnbc knows NOTHING about college football, do not worry about it. That poll may be the craziest poll I have ever seen.

 

[Proud2BaVol]

lost credibility at #3

lost credibility at #3

The only one who used to have any sports credibility is Olberman. I guess he's lost forever now.

Olberman knows diddly! He's just a loud mouthed liberal who has a show that nobody bothers to watch.

Usually, your show won't stay on the air very long if nobody watches it.

Check that! I've finally found someone other than his mother watch that goofball........You!!!lol:

 

[OWB]

Actually, I don't watch him. I was just using common sense.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Haha @ Georgia.. #8 and @ Arizona state..

 

[Cincy Vol o5]

No Duke?

 

[GAVol]

MSNBC isn't exactly an expert on ratings.

Apparently the same goes for the coaches poll. Anyone who would put UF at number 3 after the kind of losses they have had on defense is a complete idiot.

You're always going to have voters who - right or wrong - vote the defending national champs artificially high or even #1 regardless.

Then consider the preseason polls rediculous nonsense.

 

[GAVol]

Then consider the preseason polls ridiculous nonsense.

It is what it is . . . Something to talk about and not much else.

 

[govols182]

You shouldn't take preseason polls seriously most of the time. It is just harder for lower ranked teams to make the climb up the polls. So the higher you start out, the better chance you have to make it to the big one if everything goes your way.

 

[lacrossepro70]

I wish that were true, but sometimes they really do matter. It's hard for teams that are ranked low in the beginning of the season to crawl up even if they are better than a team ranked ahead of them. At the same time though, I don't feel sorry for the teams who are victim to that outcome (Auburn in 04) because it's their own fault they didn't schedule tougher non-conference games.

 

[govols182]

If we can go undefeated this year, we WILL be in the NC. Doubt we go undefeated though.

 

[sickemsmokey10]

No Notre Dame!? hmy:

 

[govols182]

It's not an ESPN poll.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

I thought it was NBC that praised ND?

 

[govols182]

NBC has a contract w/ them. They have to praise them.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Right. I just find it confusing when you use ESPN instead of NBC.

 

[Business]

lost credibility at #3

and #8.

 

[orangeblooded_2]

MSNBC is nothing more than the MICROSOFT version of the NOTREDAME BROADCASTING COMPANY
