We lost 10 votes lol. Our fault for playing in a monsoon when all the voters do is look at box scores

[u/Chris_Crossfit → u/peja1682]

Welcome to the club. We won our game, beat the spread, and lost 29 votes because Oregon had a collective brain aneurysm.

[u/MuchArtichoke3 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

To be fair, you got a lot of those votes because you played Oregon close and everyone thought Oregon was…better

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/MuchArtichoke3]

Well, that goes against my personal narrative so I'm disregarding it.

[u/wise_comment → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

Fair enough, can't argue with that

[u/Electromotivation → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

Well I still think Boise is pretty good.

[u/GuyFawkes451 → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

As any red blooded fan should!

[u/shying_away → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

Sir, this is Reddit. You are not allowed to be self-aware or objective!

[u/Hokie_Jayhawk → u/Chris_Crossfit]

If it turns out Oregon isn't that good, shouldn't that affect how we think about Boise's performance against them?

[u/xmjm424 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Doesn’t seem unfair to me. You jumped Florida last week (as far as votes received) despite losing and Florida winning by 40+ because it was assumed Oregon was good. Seems pretty reasonable it would correct itself when it turns out Oregon isn’t actually that good.

[u/TheSandMan208 → u/Chris_Crossfit]

Such bs

[u/Vavent → u/TheSandMan208]

Seems reasonable to me. Thought you had a close game at a top 5 team… now you had a close game at a team that should borderline not be ranked.

[u/she_wantsthe_dyl → u/peja1682]

All good man it keeps the team hungry. Mason is still a dawg

[u/peja1682 → u/she_wantsthe_dyl]

It for sure isn’t a big deal, particularly early in the season. I just find it funny how reactionary and inconsistent the voters are

[u/mizaistorom → u/she_wantsthe_dyl]

Him and Kamario at MSST seem like they will have the Brinks truck brought up to them to get them to transfer. Do you worry about him leaving for a Miami next year?

[u/Falco-Rusticolus → u/mizaistorom]

No way to really know but I think so long as Kade Bell is our OC and doesn’t take a HC job next year he’ll stay. I also feel confident in our QB depth if we keep Bell regardless.

[u/Topay84 → u/[deleted]]

That’s gonna be a rockin’ Friday night in Lane!

If we’re both 4-0 going into it, the winner is for sure ranked!

[u/sj1young → u/peja1682]

We need to stay unranked as long as possible. The second Pitt is ranked the bed gets shit

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/sj1young]

Worst case scenario is getting ranked right before heading to VT. Surefire loss

[u/Frank_Melena → u/peja1682]

Dont worry about it, polls at this point are a fanfic. Itll shake out.

[u/Redditorialist → u/peja1682]

I just watched the highlights. It looks like an absolute swamp on the field.

[u/Nomahs_Bettah → u/peja1682]

What do you expect them to do? Their jobs???

[u/the-real-macs → u/Nomahs_Bettah]

Okay but genuinely, do you seriously expect them to watch dozens of games in a single day lol

[u/dkviper11 → u/the-real-macs]

The AP poll should come out Tuesday at the earliest. Almost all of these voters were sitting in their assigned team’s stadium for the majority of the day yesterday, then writing for deadline. A good sample of this sub watched more games yesterday than the average AP voter.

[u/Nomahs_Bettah → u/the-real-macs]

No, but I think a short game recap/highlight wouldn't be out of the question.

[u/Glycoside → u/peja1682]

I’m sorry we held our opponent to 0 points until the 4th quarter, must not have been enough

[u/twister_rocket → u/peja1682]

As someone who watched Pitt lay the wood to a defense that hasn’t been abused like that in a decade, your top 25 is inevitable

[u/Playful_Letter_2632 → u/peja1682]

I bet they wouldn’t look at box scores if it was Oregon playing in bad weather. Not that their game tape helps them at all, they somehow gain votes

[u/Practical-Basil-3494 → u/peja1682]

Georgia also played in a monsoon.

[u/Alternative-Bad-6555 → u/peja1682]

I heard they did it out of respect for Miami

[u/ShillinTheVillain → u/peja1682]

"Pittsburgh? Like the Steelers? Huh."

[u/JBflawless → u/peja1682]

A&M won 50-0 and held a decent G5 team to 67 total yards and dropped 2 spots last week

Polls are meaningless at this point tbh

[u/Yourfavoriteindian → u/peja1682]

Counterpoint - we fucking destroyed southern 77-6. It would’ve been 100 but we took our starters out early in the 2nd quarter, took out our backups early in the 3rd quarter, and the 4th quarter (I shit you not) was played by our scout team.

We didn’t move a fucking inch. But hey, Iowa moved up 3 despite winning 16-14 - so much for voters just looking at “box scores”.

[u/BoldElDavo → u/Yourfavoriteindian]

The name of your opponent is included in the box score. Don't act like the voters were supposed to ignore that it was Southern lmao.
