The pollsters are stupid!!!!!

The pollsters are stupid!!!!! was created by Getdown11
Ok look, I'm going to admit the Dawgs are pretty average this season but why does OU (19th AP and 21st Coaches) get the benefit of the doubt when they have lost to BYU and Miami. We lost to a higher ranked LSU and OkSt. and have completely fallen from the polls.

I don't mind the Dawgs falling from the top 25 but at least be consistent about the rankings. Geez, and people wonder why the Dawg nation thinks everyone is out to get them.

Go Dawgs!!!!

Agreed.
UGA lost to the No. 4 team based upon a BS call by the officials and dropped out of the polls.
Doesn't make sense.
Takes the pressure off though.
Win the next 3 games and the Dawgs will be ranked in the low teens at least.
So just win and it will take care of itself.

Guess they figure when Bradford comes back they will be a much better team. TYPICAL.

You'd think they'd be protecting their \"SEC is the toughest conference in the country\" bandwagon status that they've FINALLY accepted after three straight national championships. But look how they've treated the SEC this year, with the exception of 'Bama, LSU and Florida:

1) South Carolina, a team that's 4-1 and beat the then-fourth ranked team in the country, isn't ranked by the coaches and is #25 in the AP poll.

2) Ole Miss dropped an incredible 17 spots after losing to South Carolina, an SEC opponent, on the road, by only six points.

3) Georgia lost to a team ranked only two spots ahead of them (Oklahoma State) on the road and dropped 12 spots. The next week, Oklahoma State lost to an unranked Houston team by ten points AT HOME and only dropped 7 or 8 spots.

4) Auburn had to go 5-0, that's FIVE-AND-OH, just to get ranked! God help us all if they go undefeated again this year and get shut out of the national title game because Texas and BOISE STATE started the year ranked higher!

5) Georgia loses a close game to the #4 team in the nation -- on what EVERYONE WHO VOTES has said was a terrible call -- and drops out of the rankings. Completely. In the AP poll, this means dropping 8 spots from #18 to at least #26. In the coaches' poll, this means dropping an unforgiveable 12 spots (at least) from #14.

Now, I'm not ready to play the \"SEC gets no respect\" card just yet, but listen: based on the BCS formula, if Texas, Boise State and Auburn win out at this point, Auburn gets left out. Same thing happens if Texas, TCU and Auburn win out. Same thing happens if the third undefeated team is Houston. Or, God help us all, IOWA.

Anyone else want to throw up?

I didn't even look at the polls once I saw UGA dropped out of it, but just curious, how far did Houston fall after losing to an unranked UTEP?

Doubt they are out of the Top 25!
