It's hard to put any stock in preseason polls. Look at all the frauds in there: Clemson #3, A&M #6, UNC #10, Miami #14, etc. Until a few games are played it's just a SWAG. I will agree it's weird that Auburn was left out of the Week 7 poll. But they re-entered at 19, then 18, now 12, so it's not like they went from unranked to 12 in a week.
So you are saying Alabama has a ranked win over Miami, which is currently unranked at 4-4?
Yep. And #11 Florida. Espn agrees.
You are also claiming as ranked wins based on rankings (AP and Coaches polls) that don't mean anything. They have no bearing on anything.
I'm not saying I agree with it. I may or may not. I'm just saying that's how it is. A win over a ranked team is a win over a ranked team. When the playoff committee starts doing their thing they consider wins over ranked teams and the season isn't over. Obviously in mid January you can look at wins over teams ranked at the end of the season and find a better barometer for a team's success, but that's not what we are discussing.

The love affair with auburn in the rankings is just weird. Someone is either getting paid off some favors are being done under the counter. No reasonable way to explain it. There are certainly times they should NOT be in the rankings at all. They should NOT be at #12 spot. Thats for sure.
The coaches' poll has them at 14. I'd put more stock in the coaches than the media. Either way they are a Top 15 team. The cream will rise to the top when they play Top 15 Texas A&M Saturday.
! How awesome would that be ?You guys honestly think any coaches are voting? Sunday is film study not voting in a poll that, again, doesn't matter. It's the school SIDs and GAs that submit votes.Absolutely.
Here's a crazy one. If they win out, they win the west
No. I don't think the actual head coach is voting in polls, but I still trust guys on a coaching staff more than media clowns.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but your responses point out a complete misunderstanding and lack of knowledge regarding of these polls that are also held by many others.
I'm not sure what you are trying to convince me of, but whatever it is, you win. I don't know why I've argued this long. I honestly could not possibly care less what any poll says. I was just enjoying watching PDB's head explode because he can't stand the thought of Auburn being ranked, even if it's justified.

Time catches up with auburn..it always does.
I'm getting great enjoyment from his refusal to A) acknowledge that Saban HAS a judgment expert and B) comment that the "said" expert speaks highly of Heuple
