Preseason polls belong in /dev/null.

These look like attention grabs to me. He is completely worthless in my eyes and is scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and remain relevant. UCLA won't finish in the Top 10, bank on it. Neither with Baylor or Wisconsin. I'm just not sold on UCLA. They stick their head out of the ground about every 15 years, but never get over the hump. I just don't think baylor can maintain what they have done lately. Wisconsin I could be wrong about, but I feel as if they are a three loss team, just out of the Top 10.

Aw, come on, Matt! They're entertaining. Sure, it doesn't mean a damn thing. Unless he's got a vote this year, Brando's opinion doesn't mean squat.

Never-the-less, his thoughts are entertaining. A laugh in this year's case when it's Tiffany Brando on Twitter reminding everyone that's how he sees the year ending.

 

[planomateo]

Sure its entertaining, its a preseason poll which means absolutely nothing. Good point about him having a vote or not.

Baylor and UCLA are for real...they both have a good shot of winning the conference. Baylor is maintaining in numerous sports.
UCLA's toughest games this year are home games - (Stanford, USC, Oregon, Utah, Arizona). The one game I'm not sure of just yet for them would be against Washington, Chris Petersen gets a roster that has some talent (thanks to Steve Sarkisian)

 

[doemasters]

I will be shocked if A&M finishes in the top 25 and where is FSU

 

[TerryP]

As a comparison (for entertainment purposes only :dance: ) of where Phil Steele has these teams starting the season. @doemasters made me think of this with is A&M comment.

It's not unheard of but a jump from #39 to end up #3?

He made a comment on the radio Thursday he'd have had OU somewhere around #19 until the Sugar Bowl win. It was on the SVP show...I may have the wording a little off but that was the gist of his comments.

[doemasters]

oh i read it wrong, that was last years

 

[TerryP]

When such insight and wisdom is shared with the collegiate football world, I feel I must share...

 

[bama alum]

And...he's a prominent talking head on the SEC Network, right?

I'm wondering if we see more of this type of talk coming from Brando now that he's not part of the SEC media family any longer. I believe we're going to see his true colors come through.

I hope that color is black and blue. For some reason my blood run cold when he talk. Did fox-fs1 have any SEC games last year?

 

[bama alum]

I missed that announcement, Terry. Thanks!

GOOD RIDDANCE!

 

[TerryP]

@rick4bama I don't think either network has any games this season—or in the future. If they did have some scheduled, I'd think ESPN bought them out like they did with the early game broadcasters from last season.

 

[TerryP]

Morbid curiosity made me look this up...

 

[Bamabww]

Brando is such a dumbass. I heard his show last January after the final poll came out and he said something similar to; "the Bama fans gave me holy hell for picking them to finish #7 pre-season. Well, look where Bama ended up: #7." He failed to mention that was the only one of the top 10 he got right.

 

[DustyG]

Say what you want, but Mattingly wasn't THAT far off for June predictions.

 

[BamaFan334]

I was pretty close in my assessment, minus my Baylor comments. Sign me up SEC Network or ESPN!

And Brando can still suck it.
