Did Yoda write that first sentence on West Virginia at #18? Then at #19, he says, "Besides Alabama, LSU <i>definitely</i> is the best in the SEC west," [emphasis added] even though Harvey himself puts Auburn a full 7 spots ahead of LSU. He again overlooks Auburn in the blurb on Arkansas at #25. This is the kind of analytical genius that gets to vote in the AP poll?

(Sportscenter 8.22) <br /><br />Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Kirk says that about the 'Dawgs every year. It's his way of not having to vote for us in the poll but gives him the ability to say "I told you so" if we're actually any good this year.

On offense, we're returning everyone at key positions except QB, and I think we'll be better here than we were last year. My biggest fear is that Murray gets hurt.

This is the team that was gashed without mercy for about 900yds by a mediocre UGA team. GT had defense that was horrible and lost it's best defenders to the Draft. While UGA's bad defense was led by Deadman Walking Willie Martinez & Co. <br /><br />The lack of logic is astounding. This is the cat who represents Ga. as the lone AP vote???

Alabama lost 8-9 starters on a team that won a championship because of its defense and they're #1 by default. <br /><br />Georgia has a better team going into this season and our pre-season ranking is lower than last year. Ohio State would be the most logical choice for #1 because they didn't lose anyone from a pretty good team last season.<br /><br />How many teams have won a NC when losing more than half their starters on defense from the season before? I haven't looked it up, but I doubt there have been many.mdhenshawhttp://www.dailyplunge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-12238207216227938232010-08-21T14:32:11.232-04:002010-08-21T14:32:11.232-04:00The general rule, as I understand it, is each stat...The general rule, as I understand it, is each state gets one vote for every two teams it has eligible for the poll.
