Coaches' poll - Ball State ranked #22, Buffalo gets 2 votes

AP Poll - Ball State ranked #23

There's something off about these rankings.
Wha??? I know pre season rankings don't matter, but what are these pollsters thinking? They do realize that college teams change, sometimes drasticly, from year to year right?
Maybe Ball State did well in their bowl game last year?

Could it be that they just don't care anymore? Ball State grabbed headlines last year with their record, and people don't pay attention enough about the MAC to assume that it would be any different this year. Apathy could be the primary factor here.

Preseason polls need to be banished.
I wonder if Turner Gill voted them in this time?

Wow, #22?
Those aren't preseason polls. They don't come out until August. Those are last years polls.
The big clue is that they dropped from number 12 last week without playing a game last week. Or the week before. Or the week before. I suspect the drop had something to do with losing their bowl game. 03-wink

If that's the case, why isn't Florida #1? Something is screwy here.

OUBobcatJohn is right; these can't be the "real" polls. they don't come out unitl August. besides i looked on ESPN's Web site and there's no mention of these polls at all. i wouldn't take any stock in them at all.

Week 15 is before the bowl games. I was joking about the running battle RWT has been having about the value of looking at Bowl Game results in determining this year's likliehood of success.
Is this a serious thread? This is the final regular season poll from last year.

Isn't that what the guy before you said? 03-wink
No way is BSU ranked #22. There are only 13 teams in the MAC, so they would be at least #13. CMU of course is #1! 02-13-banana
You people aren't very smart.
Maybe I should have bothered to actually click on the links provided.
I'm telling you, it's because of their bowl game result. Gezzzz, you people are stupid!

Right...you're stupid because you are a rocket fan 03-wink
...And the whole mess was started by a Zip. Why am I not surprised?
I actually stole this from the Buffalo message board. 05-stirthepot
