First Coaches Poll

[GH2001]

You guys are outcho' damn minds if you don't think putting ND and Florida on your OOC schedules makes it badass.  In the we signed up Clemson thread, some are calling for ND as a better choice.  Some on here have been picking Florida to beat the mighty Tahd.  Name a team with a harder OOC schedule.

Big difference in saying it would be nice to play them and saying they are stout. There is nothing stout about Fla and ND right now.

On the other hand, playing Okie State in the opener is ballsy. I give them credit there. That could be dangerous.

They both blow monkey dicks, but it does look good because of the tr'dition bullshit that the media & pollsters give way too much weight too.

That said, that is exactly WHY I want both of them on our schedule instead of trying to pretend we are USCe and play them as our OOC game every single year.

I hate to bring on any bad hoodoo, but the most Auburn thing ever would be us being a clear #1 or #2 in the first year of the four team playoff system, and then losing to #3 or #4.

Would be a good thread topic.  What would be the most Auburn?

I'd say we start killing teams and looking like a clear cut #1 or at least a debate with FSU for #1.  Then we get to A&M who has four losses and we're favored by 21 and we lose at 11am at home by 14.  Then we get left out of the playoff due to "when we lost" even though everyone knows it's bullshit.

Y'all still outcho damn minds.  Okie State, Notre Dame and Florida is as stout as any team in the country will play in any given year. Not saying any of those teams are world beaters (Again, some of you think UF will beat Bama) but that's three high quality H20 opponents you have to get ready for.  Now granted, they can because the ACC doesn't present much of a problem for them.

So which is it young feller? Is McTatthole any good or do bammer not need no QB?

This ranking is, to me, a condemnation of McTatthole. For all the al.com slobbing of his knob, ranking them second with no quarterback whatsoever means most consider AJ inconsequential to their success.  I tend to agree that he wasn't worth a shit.  The only thing he did well was not turn the ball over against cupcakes.  I honestly don't think the new guy will be able to do even that.
