I think we're way too high in the AP.

If you ranked us based on who we've beaten and lost to, then it's not.  If you've watched us play, then you're right.

Agree.

For that reason, you'd expect the polls to be reversed if anything. The AP supposedly actually watches the games. The coaches don't have time for that shit.

Being fair, we should probably be somewhere in between those, just inside the top 20.

Will say this...

The 2010 champions did something the invincible 2009 champs could not. 

Went on the road at South Carolina and beat Garcia, Marcus and Alshon. 

They damn sure couldn't do what this team -- with all it's painfully obvious flaws -- was able to do.

Every crimson turd in the world can fucking SUCK IT.

We will have our chance to prove we should be where they are.  In fact if we come out of October with a winning record we should be ranked higher.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

At this point, I've stopped trying to understand it. The AP poll is a little more rational with that type of thing. The Coach's poll is somewhat of a joke. USC is not just ranked higher by a couple of spots, but nine fuckin spots. And it ain't like their other wins were extremely impressive. 24-21 against Navy? 21-7 against Vandy? 45-42 against Georgia? 19 point win over Eastern Carolina.

Meanwhile, we have beaten two ranked teams, and only loss is to a team in the National Championship conversation.

"So I want everybody to think here for a second, how much does this game mean to you? 'Cause if it means something to you, you can't stand still. You understand? You play fast! You play strong! You go out there and dominate the man you're playing against, and you make his ass quit! That's our trademark! That's our M.O.... as a team! That's what people know us as!" ~ Nick Saban
