**** the polls. I had hoped they would redeem themselves by giving us some respect down the stretch, but clearly they can't handle that. ****ing OREGON? Are you fist-****ing me?
Way to overreact Alice. Didn't we go thru this same thread just last week?Ridiculous. I ****ing hate polls.
Oklahoma is still in the top 25. Why? If you lose you lose. You shouldn't be ranked for close losses or your teams potential.
that is ridiculous!!!!!:wow:
How does a 6-1 USC team that lost to WASHINGTON stay in the top 5?? Really?? It seems like they're playing favorites there!!

Have you not been paying attention to the polls at all these past years? Teams that have earned respect over the years get it. But we have just as many NT's as many of the other "historic" teams though so i still dont understand why we dont get the same press that teams like ohio state get. maybe its cause we are a smaller school. I have just accepted the fact that the polls suck and that no matter what GT does we will end up in the orange bowl. No.5 undefeated boise state who the best they played was utah state will go to the NT game instead.
our national reputation right now is still based on the gailey years.i still dont understand why we dont get the same press that teams like ohio state get.
Polls are based in large part on perceptions, teams like USC have a lot of cachet and recently strong results, we don't have that yet. It will come if we can keep winning.
If we are good enough and lucky enough to make it to the OB, which would be great, I would not mind playing Penn State or Boise State.
I don't mind playing Penn State, but I don't see anything good coming out of playing Boise.

Sorry to dog on your first post, but Boise State beat Oregon. There's no way that isn't a substantial win. According to the current rankings, that's bigger than us beating VT.
Yeah but still oregon hasnt done much this year either(and im not counting beating cal)
Cal is not that good either.
