Pre-Season Coaches Poll Released

Don't confuse asking people to stop talking nonsense with asking people to stop talking.
3 years before our former coach was fired... there were a few fans calling for the firing of that coach...

They were accused a zillion times of talking "nonsense"... they turned out to be right... they turned out to be the wise ones.

Everyone on a message board is right about some things at least some of the time.

That would be after 4 years and a downward slope from 2010's "peak". Are you honestly comparing that to 1 year?

That's not the point.

The point is they were accused of talking "nonsense".

 
Today I decided to start reading football threads again. I immediately regret this decision.
There it is happening again.

There's been a lot of great discussions happening here lately. This person apparently wishes they would stop and appears to be advocating for people to stop coming here.

Does anyone really care about preseason polls?
Not really, and especially not the Coaches or AP polls, since neither are relevant to the Championship anymore.
So you're saying that no one should care about any poll... including the ones done here because they are not relevant to the championship ?

The only poll that anyone should care about is the Football Playoff Poll. Is that what you're saying ?

Link?
Main page is full of them... including this one.
Nah, this one has been completely derailed by someone whining about people not enjoying nonsense. Which really has nothing to do with the coaches poll.
There's been a few comments made here... one about fans sense of "entitlement"... which started that part of the discussion.

But there's a whole lot of discussions on the main page you might like better.

Fresh take here: I'm a bit surprised at being ranked 38th. I didn't think we'd be ranked, but figured we'd be just on the cusp, about 10-12 spots higher.

I still believe that since TO retired, we've generally had top25 talent. Just seems the combination of talent and coaching/scheme hasn't thoroughly meshed over the past decade.

I agree...

Thanks for the fresh outlook.

Ha ha! Yeah, I sort of care. I think it's a lot easier to make a run for a playoff spot if you start out no lower than the mid teens. That said, I don't think we have a playoff caliber team this year. But we could in a couple of years. And when (if) we do, I'd like to see us start high enough in the polls to give us a reasonable shot at getting up into the top four or five by the time the B1G CCG rolls around.

 
Polls don't matter for the championship anymore, but they absolutely matter when it comes to getting your team covered nationally.
