Quote:Its not about it nattering to ACC teams, it's about the national perspective and how off base it is. We , being anyone cheering for a team not in the SEC, just want rankings to be fair and based on who the best teams are, not what conference they play in. As you can see the SEC has not lived up to their biased rankings again this year. The SEC is just another conference with a couple very good teams and the rest average as the days are long. This isn't a knock on them, this is how the rest of the conferences are as well. It's time to open our eyes and look past the SEC patches and see these teams for who they are, not who we think they are. Go Noles baby.

It matters, and it shows. If it didn't, there'd be no need to post what other schools in a certain conference did against another conference. We've been brow beatn The rankings have shaken out, it typically does. There are three SEC schools in the top 25, and on top of that only 1 in the top 5, 1 in the top 20. The national media sees it. 

 

We established in this thread early that pollsters are mostly clueless. They rank based on previous season. These guys, as much as they'd like to think they know, don't know about who really graduated, who will make an impact this season, freshman impact, etc., etc. I don't think I can blame those voting in the preseason polls for giving a benefit of the doubt to some of the SEC schools, but as I stated earlier, it still all shook out. Heck, look at the preseason rankings, even the coaches poll even closely resembled the media's. You can't argue that the SEC had a run of dominance, absolute dominance that played out in many forms. 

 

No need to answer for other posters, though I appreciate it.
