[GoldenDomer]

Well the poll just came out, and thanks to the Trojans, we are now back in the Top 10!!

Still not ranked on Drew Sharp's ballot.

Is Michigan ranked on it with there big victory over Miami of Ohio?

 

[Pachuco]

Still not ranked on Drew Sharp's ballot.

Can someone explain to me how it's legal for a voter to be such a complete asshat?

Is there no pressure in the least to be somewhat rational/unbiased?

This jagoff should lose his ballot. Fuck you, Drew Sharp.

Its looking like our SOS will not be nearly as good at the end of the year compared to preseason.

Fine by me. If it was that gauntlet would likely have been too much for us. I'm fine with some of the tough teams on our schedule underachieving. A double digit win season is attainable now that Stanford, Louisville, UNC, and USC all don't look as good as we thought they could.

It never is. '12 looked like a gauntlet to start the season and didn't end up as tough as it was originally thought.

So wait, his logic is that ND isn't ranked because they failed to cover the 28pt spread (and only won by 16), but he has USC ranked 16 after they LOST to Boston College?

Florida is lucky (disputed game clock miss-call by officials) to beat freaking Kentucky, and is on this guy's ballot?

Kansas St barely beats (last minute and a half) crappy ISU, they were trailing for the majority of the game, and they are #19?

UCLA struggles with a Texas team that that lost by 34 at home to BYU (a good team though), struggled with Memphis, AND struggled with Virginia, and he has them at #13?


I am assuming he casts his votes based on jersey color, or based on his favorite mascots

Agreed. That's straight collusion, and completely impossible to justify.

@drewsharp

*get it going twitterers, blast this POS into oblivion (so basically keep him in Detroit)

Looks like a few have already begun the bombing process

I dunno, you can say that about pretty much every single presidential election, ba dum tsss.

 

[Rhode Irish]

So wait, his logic is that .....

I think you are giving him way too much credit in assuming there is some logic involved.

 

[Crazy Balki]

It never is. '12 looked like a gauntlet to start the season and didn't end up as tough as it was originally thought.

A lot of the teams that did well in 2011, took a step back in 2012, namely Michigan State (11-3 to 7-6), Michigan (11-2 to 8-5) and USC (11-2 to 7-6)

 

[phork]

Drew Sharp is Captain Asshat, no doubt. No one around the Detroit area likes him.

Well said. lol

 

[NCDomer]

He hates on all of the B10 and likely throws ND into that same category. He basically trolls the B10; it's his schtick. The real question is why the AP lets someone so bias vote in its poll.

 

[Booslum31]

Well the poll just came out, and thanks to the Trojans, we are now back in the Top 10!!

We just need to move up one spot each week. :0

Controversy creates clicks.... He's just pissed that his look is a cross of "The Coach" on ESPN and Michael Wilbon. The only thing interesting about this guy is is receding hair line.

Of course. In a year we go undefeated in the regular season, all those teams must have been crap cause they lost to the Irish.

Get this, this is why he said he left the Irish off the ballot:

Michigan and Notre Dame remain off my ballot. The Irish were a 28-point favorite against Purdue on Saturday but struggled before adding a little distance in the fourth quarter. These were the same Boilermakers that Central Michigan stomped by 21 points … in West Lafayette.

So, he left the Irish off because they failed to cover against Purdue....BUT, frickin' Marshall is in his Top 25. Yeah, Marshall, who has run the incredibly tough gauntlet of Miami (OH), Rhode Island, and Ohio University (Not OSU). He also has Washington in his Top 25 who nearly lost to Hawaii and frickin' Eastern Washington. Pretty sure the Huskies didn't cover in those games, and yet they found their way into his Top 25. What an ass! Someone is still upset their Wolverines got beaten 37-0! (Yes, I said 37)

I really don't think anyone's dominant in CFB this year. I'm not convinced of Alabama, LSU,(although they haven't lost ) I still think Oregon's a ? mark and some other socalled top 10 teams especially after this past Saturday .....I actually think if we can avoid some land mines, our chances are as good as anybodys. I'm not saying that we're the best team,but who is ????, now are there some teams that are percievec to be better than we are ?, well sure,but I like our chances against those teams should we play them. I'm not calling any of them out either but I think we can get them.

And Michigan? Do I really need to go there?

Apparently. It's hard for me to even try to rationalize his thought process.
