Who the 17??!!

Voted for TSUN in the USA Today Poll......really? Really? What kind of opium induced dream do some of these guys live in? This is why I wish votes were public info...you just really, really have to wonder sometimes.

They probably thought they were us

That kind of pisses me off. We got only 1 vote in the preseason poll after 2 straight bowl games and they get 3 votes for beating 2 crap teams? It'll work its way out in the end though.

I did a quick check to see if I could find who did vote for them (gave up quickly) and came across this pretty interesting article from a guy who gave up his vote in the AP poll. He makes some pretty good points.

This site shows the AP voters' picks - I guess Coaches votes are confidential

Props to Chris Fowler! Not sure if this will post right.

I never would have thought about it in that way. That's actually pretty insightful. I've never liked a lot of these polls to begin with, but this highlights a lot of why people think they should be revamped.

Marshmellow...

Must be sticking to preseason idolatry of his own preseason poll. He still has LSU at #1..probably because they haven't lost yet and can't deserve to be knocked from the set-in-stone preseason perch.

...and I still think he crossed ASU for Arizona when he voted for ASU. To say Arizona destroyed OSU would be an understatement.

UTEP has to be one of the top 0-2 teams in the nation!
