Geetee, I also never said anything about the importance of preseason polls. In fact, I'm in favor of no poll rankings until the fourth or fifth week of the season - it's one of the few things I like about the current BCS system.
Anyway, the entire comment was intended to point out your continued focus on the negative despite whatever else may or may not be going on. But, I should have just left it alone to keep from having this argument in the first place. Lesson learned.
