I mean damn!! Why are you so bent out of shape??

Just to be clear, I don't think the polls matter all that much, I don't think the voters spend much time at all following anyone that they don't play against or cover, I think it's almost silly to expect that they would, and I'm not the slightest bit bothered by any of that.
Actually what I think you are saying doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, polls are just opinions. That’s the reason college football eventually evolved to a playoff. Nobody wanted the winner to be declared via opinion!

But the reality is, in spite of who votes or how, the polls do a pretty damn good job of ranking the teams before any games are played.

You know XU had preseason votes last year, right? And we had some this year too. And I’m ok with BOTH of those assessments. But obviously the result from last year took us out of the discussion early. And we shall see if our performance from here on out is enough to get us into the top 25 discussion
