Which one did he list the XII at? He mentioned plural conferences so I would guess we would be below the big ten in is over rated list.
Are you trying to say that polls aren't always fair and tend to give undeserved credit to big name programs? Cause that's some ground breaking **** there!!
What does last year have to do with the AP? My main beef with the AP has to do with pre season ranking artificially inflating teams. Also the way the rankings make no sense right now anyway. 3-1 BYU behind a 3-1 Wisconsin. 3-1 Texas ranked 3-1 Maryland not. Teams shouldn't even be ranked until the playoff poll comes out. Then do whatever you want with the AP
Last year the AP said ISU was better than Iowa.
So what is your go to poll since you don't like the AP?
Not ground breaking at all, just figured it is time to do something about the AP when everyone knows from Preseason - Playoff Poll the AP is a joke for the most part.
Last year neither team was ranked. What difference does it make what the AP says now? It seems very important to you as several of your trolls depend heavily on it, but it really doesn't matter to me right now.
Last year ISU received more votes in the final AP poll than Iowa.
You didn't answer my question. So what is your go to poll since you don't like the AP?
A big ten fan complaining about the rankings? Big ten is the most over ranked conference out there.
Neither ISU or Iowa were ranked last year in the AP, the AP ranks the top 25 teams that is it.
I don't like it.
1) Because of who is voting. Please list 15 AP voters who you respect and have great football knowledge of all 130 some teams
2) What are they basing their votes on in the pre season? Nobody has seen anyone play yet
3) See #2, by having a pre season poll we set a bias for certain teams
4) None of this has to do with Iowa or ISU. It seems for you it is very important component of several of your trolls.
End of the year polls are fine, all the evidence is in, it is pre season - college playoff poll that seems stupid to me.
Well good because ISU received more votes in the AP Poll that Iowa did at the end of the year last season!
Why do you need a poll right now? I'd rather have no poll right now. Maybe you need the AP to tell you what to think, I don't.
Neither team was ranked in the AP poll last year. You are literally the first person I have ever seen who thinks the AP rankings go past 25. I get why you love the AP so much, it is very important to your troll here.
If you believe number 1, it means outside of the championship game, that you believe the rankings are meaningless. Besides, human polls make up a bunch of the determination of who is in the playoffs.
So you are fine with the final AP votes you just don't like it during the season?
