I haven't seen it, but the coaches poll just needs to be done away with. It's mostly left up to staffers and football admin to fill out the polls each week and all they do it scoreboard watch... they don't have time to do anything else. The AP poll is almost as bad, but at least some of them try... and the sheer numbers of it helps to keep things in a better balance.. For example, that cuck Brett McMurphy posted his AP poll late last night... had UGA several spots ahead of Bama still. Stuff like that is just unserious business.

I had them ranked as #2 on Saturday.
(My #2 FAVORITE team - bet you can guess why)

Same reason I did.
Their OC Klien about blew the game with his thumb up his ass play calling. Trying to get cute when A&M was gashing them on the ground... He definitely won the Clown Shoes Coach of the Weekend Award on Saturday, despite the win.

If one didn't watch game. You could think " AU played pretty good ". You would be wrong
AU td was set up by a fluke int ( why do they always get them! ). Other wise. They still could be playing n not score.
Absolutely terrible offense. QB is so overmatched. 16-17 sacks in last 2 games.
O i remember those days
He's lost right now.... and their big priced LT is right there with him, which is even more head scratching.
Is understanding and being able to explain the same thing? No. I don't understand the poll rankings in a lot of situations.
With A&M? Two things. The 0 in the L column, and the W over Notre Dame. That win carrying A LOT of weight.
How is Maryland undefeated but only receiving 7 votes when two loss teams are in the top 25. (It's quality losses if you're looking for a definition...whatever the definition of that is this season.)
Why is UVA ranked but more than a touchdown dog against Louisville? (UL, technically, #30 with 36 votes.)
The AP poll is a "seat filler" in the awards show until the CFB Playoff committee starts having their dress rehearsals.

Or until things begin sorting themselves out .....couple more weeks. We will know ..contenders...n pretenders...
But...the big win at nd. ...give A$M credit.......very good win ...
It's beyond the polls... and maybe I'll be proven wrong and they'll come out SEC Champs. But from what i've seen of them, which is a good bit (and yes, the ND game should count for something), they are not, "top of the SEC" worthy as some like Klatt have them. I'm not sure what he's seeing, or what I'm not.
I might argue their running game room is at the top of the SEC in terms of talent. They sure haven't produced the way I thought they would.
I had the game with ND on so I kept up with their win. I watched the game with Auburn fairly closely. I didn't see a top 10 team.
That would be the one counter point I have against the "pre-season polls are useless" statements. It gives a lot their starting point. Even if they are saying they don't use their rankings I don't see how anyone can avoid seeing "#______ vs # ______" the first few weeks and simply ignore the numbers.
Exactly once you see the number it’s hard to forget it.
