Built in excuse for 4 losses to higher ranked teams. Bet the pumpers love it.

If we beat Michigan, the pumpers will start euphoric Natty Champ threads.

I was thinking over rated.

Weird.

Why not 116th?

Hmm...only one SEC team in the top 10.
I guess that's about right.
Four B1G teams in the top 10 though...

Polls don't matter until they start hitting each other.

They'll have a whole thread about the drive that got us a field goal and how it shows we're headed in the right direction.

I guess it pays well to be a pessimist......

Since when does a pre-season poll mean anything?

At this point, no one really knows anything about what kind of team will show up in Dallas..... I hope we will be a good team but I do agree that respect is earned every year. I'm hopeful but not ready to hock the farm and bet on 10+ wins although I think it's possible.

If that makes me a pumper, so be it..... I really don't give any Fvuks about being called a name on a chat room by guys I wouldn't even hire to mow my grass.......

I would hire quite a few of you. Of course, I would hire several just so I could fire them.

Overrated in top 10- Ohio State. The D is legit, but the passing game really struggled late last season and the running game just wasn't the same without Zeke. Their last game was a joke.

Underrated top 10- Wisconsin. I'm not worried about them finding a back. They always have a top notch OL and really good backs. Plus they have a favorable schedule.

I guess now with 4 teams but they were huge when only 2 teams got to play for the Title.

Fan based message boards at least provide the value of allowing us to vent and keep up with recruiting.

I would have no idea how bad of a coach we had if it wasn't for this board. I am grateful for all the insight that is provided here by some of the brightest football minds in GatorNation.
