Hoosker Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The fact that Schlabach put Georgia at #11, Florida at #25, and doesn't even rank Nebraska pretty much says it all. is aaron murray coming back for an unprecedented 5th year of eligibility and no one except espn knows about about it? :ahhhhhhhh :ahhhhhhhh :ahhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Georgia and Missouri both lost their starting senior QB's at some point this year and will have them leave school for the draft. Missouri's freshman backup, Maty Mauk, went 4-0 helping Missouri lock up the East, throwing for 1071 yards, 11 TDs and 2 INTs. Georgia's junior backup, Hutson Mason, went 1-1 (win was in OT), threw for 619 yards 3 TDs and 2 INTs. ESPN and CBS logic: Missouri moves down 12 (CBS) or 20 (ESPN) because they lost their QB. Georgia moves up from being unranked to 10 (CBS) and 11 (ESPN) despite losing their QB. These lists are dumb. Quote Link to comment

Excel Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 ^^^Josey is gone and Gurley is not? Georgia retains the two worst coordinators in CFB, the gruesome twosome of Bobo and Grantham. Should be worth at least a -10 deduction in spots. Quote Link to comment

Unprecedented? Ask Case Keenum. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I never get all the love for N. arolina either. They have them at 17 and I think they ended at 7-6. For some reason ESPN wants NC to be great at football, but they never are. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 every year we get ranked on speculation of improvement......enough of that preseason bullcrap......let this team earn their ranking. Just like Florida. Quote Link to comment

Who said it had anything to do with team ability? This entire thread is about perception and how some teams frequently benefit from dumb journalists/voters. 1 Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 So let me get this straight, ESECPN...Nebraska finishes #25 in the coaches poll...beats your preseason #11 in the bowl game, and at the very least you couldn't fit Nebraska in at #25 instead of a Florida team that went 4-8 and lost to Georgia Southern? Hell, at least Nebraska only lost to bowl teams. And didn't have a losing season. Your bias makes me sick, and that's why I hate you, Extreme Sports and Poker Network. Quote Link to comment
