ALL the hype, preseason top 10, moving up to 4th in the nation, the Need for Snead, then they fall on their faces. I think the only teams that should be above them are Oklahoma and USC based on their reputations alone; however, Oklahoma lost their Heisman QB for the season and USC starts a true freshmens QB.

I think they should be number 3. but then again, they weren't as good as everyone thought they were (obviously). Well all knew it and anyone who is an SEC fan knows that Nutt is notorious for this kind of ****. See Arkansas....
They pick the same 15 teams year in and year out and they get the same results. When will those idiots learn? In the case of Ole Miss the only people who are disapointed are Rebel fans who really believed the hype and the idiots who ranked them so high. Even in the coaches poll they were ranked high. That just goes to show that majority of them are idiots as well or they let some mid level PR person do their voting for them and that PR person doesn't have a clue and goes along with what ever everyone else is doing.</p>

That means Ole Miss really should be the fifth most disappointing team in the country instead of seventh, right?RebelBruiser said:
Edited to note: Teams in bold are the teams listed in the disappointing teams list.
From #4 to fighting for six wins? That should def. be #1. And where are the Irish? And VT at #2? Everybody knows VT is never really that good.
Depends on how you would rank it. You could have us higher. All that said, I think it's a little early to be doing a ranking of most disappointing teams. Some of the teams on that list will finish strong and some will bomb out.
Ole Miss is the the first team that is not ranked on the list. Combine that with the fact that they were voted as high as #4 without playing any competition. I would have them as #1 most disappointing team in the nation.

We were dominated in one game, the Bama game. That's the only game where I knew we didn't have a chance the entire game. We played sloppy and still had a chance to beat SC, only outgained by 40 yards, and finished about 30 yards shy of the win. We played sloppy again and got beat by Auburn, being outgained by only 7 yards. They jumped out to a big lead, but that game wasn't put away until the final minutes of the 4th quarter.
That's not the point though. Yes, we've had a disappointing year so far, but that list is going to change dramatically over the final month. Some of those teams will bomb out, and others will rebound and make a run. And you'll likely have a handful of teams currently not on the list that bomb out and make that list. For instance, if you look at us, we could finish strong and look a lot like Ole Miss 2008 closing out November, or we could bomb the rest of the season and look a lot like Auburn 2008.
That's all I was saying. And I posted the poll just to give everyone a point of reference when looking at the list. I was curious to see what other teams were doing with preseason rankings, so I looked it up and thought everyone else would be interested.
How they say "the Rebels have same conference record as usual cellar-dweller Mississippi State." Yes, I know we are a usual cellar-dweller, but people act like because OM had one good season that they havn't been and still aren't a "usual cellar-dweller." F*cking faggots.
