I learned something important today. The voters in the AP and Coach's polls despise the forward pass. What other reasoning supports the failure of either poll to recognize the Gophers? I had no idea that a single completed pass would result in this kind of snub, but here we are.
Onto some actual thoughts about the polls:
- Everyone agrees that Michigan State is the 9th best.
- Florida State got the "Jameis will be back next week unless he keeps being a moron" pass to remain #1. The computers are not as kind.
- Am I the only one who thinks UCLA is going to flame out?
- Duke huh? SID's like Duke.
