You dipshits do this every year. Who cares about any rankings until the end of the year? It will take care of itself.
Midseason rankings matter, doe. But I don't understand how Tennessee doesn't deserve to be in the top 10, especially coming from a Meatchicken fan.

Well, you're not wrong, but Tennessee would be a borderline top 20 team if they played in any other conference. They've been shitty in every game, and they haven't played anybody decent. I'd take someone like Colorado or Nebraska over them.
You know I love to make fun of the Ess Eee See bias as much as anyone, but you're off your rocker here. There's no way in hell you'd rank those teams above Tennessee right now, and you'd be one of the morons that gets made fun of on Pollspeak if you did.
Ur reaching here, bro.

The only good game Tennessee has had is against Virginia Tech. They got extremely lucky to beat what is a shitty Georgia team. They easily could have lost to Ohio, App State, or Florida. They are this year's version of 2015 Northwestern. If they weren't playing vastly overrated teams in Georgia and Florida, they would be ranked somewhere between 15 and 20, which is much more reasonable.
That said, you're right that I should stop sperging about the polls. Eastern Michigan got a vote in the coaches poll this week. Eastern Michigan!
It definitely was not their coach, either...
But Illinois is a better job.Yes, I am secretly wishing that Colorado is really good because that game scared the shit out of me for 2 and a half quarters. But they might just be the Pac 12 south favorite right now, and they will be the favorite if they beat USC. And they actually have a damn good team. Their secondary is really good, and their nose tackle is a first couple of rounds NFL pick. Jim Leavitt is a great defensive coordinator. Their offense runs so fast that they can put together a 5 play touchdown drive in about a minute if you get the wrong personnel out there. The real question is Montez the guy that's boat raced Oregon and Oregon State's defenses, or the guy who went 0-7 with negative rushing yards against Michigan? If Liufau comes back, I actually wouldn't hesitate calling them the Pac 12 south favorite.
That said you're right that I'm putting way too much stock into beating a shitty Oregon team. And really I just think Tennessee is an above average football team masquerading as a top 10 team because of a weak schedule and being in the SEC.

Colorado has yet to play anyone good. If they somehow win at USC on Saturday I will consider them a threat. In my mind UCLA is by far the favorite. Utah and Zona are decimated with injuries and ASU sucks. USC is looking good now but already has 2 conference losses.Yes, I am secretly wishing that Colorado is really good because that game scared the shit out of me for 2 and a half quarters.

Pac 12 SouthUCLA is the favorite for what? Colorado indanorf. Dakingindanorf.
I remember when Thursday night games were relevant and Jesse palmer wasn't having a fried chicken taste test in the booth mid first quarter. rip oldtopia live chats @bruin
yes, before NFL games.Were Thursday night games ever that relevant, really? Or were we just college students with nothing better to do on a Thursday night?

no, but I remember paying like $100 bucks for the shitty crowdsourced logo. that was a classic ulg product.Did we ever find out why you would punt from there?
The atmosphere at Carter Finley for Thursday night games was awesome. They used to mean something to me, maybe for a few years.
You bet your sweet ass it was. My brothers and I still quote that to this day. Chuck was a shill but an entertaining oneWasn't that the birth of "Ice...ice"?

you'd get a decent match up several weeks out of the season, or at least bigger programs.
Has there ever been a qualityThursday nightNFL game? They are all shit.
he's been terrible anyway.Sounds like Jalen Hurd is out for the game now too.
