[AFF]

The Tide received 55 first-place votes and No. 2 LSU got one. Big 12 champion Oklahoma State (12-1) was No. 3 and received four first-place votes.

Some of the AP voters are real hard-heads.​

No split title talk.....after the "Mauling"

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

The Tide received 55 first-place votes and No. 2 LSU got one. Big 12 champion Oklahoma State (12-1) was No. 3 and received four first-place votes.

Some of the AP voters are real hard-heads.​

Some have agendas and some want attention... it's unfortunate... but, it just tells me that they have no credibility. There are a lot of writers out there that fall into those groups, on both the national and local levels... from Dennis Dodd to Kevin Scarbinsky (and dozens of others). I just avoid their work (and I'm talking about writers in general, not just the voters).

Yeah, Dennis Dodd is a joke. I get a good laugh reading his articles.

Out of the five first place votes we didn't get, I'd bet one of those is coming from Scott Wolf.

Out of the five first place votes we didn't get, I'd bet one of those is coming from Scott Wolf.

The five:

Scott Wolf: Has Okie St. at #1. He's the same voter that had us ranked lower than Texas, Boise State, and a two loss Ohio State team after we defeated Florida in the SECCG in '09.

Erik Gee: Has LSU at #1. Another Pac12 area paper beat writer.

Matt Markey and Steve Conroy: Okie State, both Big10 beat writers.

Seth Emerson, out of the Macon, GA paper, also had Okie State at #1. This one actually shocked me a bit.
