    You're right. It really is my fault for expecting too much from you.

    What you should expect from me is that I will not let you get away with your little fucking Retarded insinuations and childish behavior....and your knob slobbering over your stupid little team. We always expect you to be a little nudge....

    So..we get exacty what we expect.

    Your Michigan programs have been far the bigger sewer hole of criminality and corruption than anything Ohio State has ever been....and they have been the much shittier football program as well.

    So...there are your facts. Choke on them.

    You define facts like some of our friends on the political board...

    Cool trolling. Of course it's not the same for A&M.

    Why not? No faith in them?

    I don't know. Ask the media why 5-7 teams get put into preseason top 25s.

    I don't define them, I only relate them. Sorry if you can't handle them.

    5-7 Teams? We were only talking about 2 teams, weren't we? : Texas and Texas A&M.

    Only one of them is in the preseason top 25, and one is not.

    My simple question to you was: Why? Why was one in and the other not? You are much closer to the situation than I, so you explain it to us.

    So beating Texas at the end of last year mattered even though they were 5-7....because they started in the preseason top 25? Okie dokie. You're trolling even worse than Gipper with this post.

    EDIT: Nevermind, you probably read it the same way Gipper did. Texas went 5-7 last year.

    A team that was 5-7 last year. That would be Texas.

    And I already answered this in my first post on this thread. "It is written in stone somewhere that they must be in every preseason top 25." It was a joke (although the latter part is true). I'm not trying to write a Master's thesis on it. Lighten up.

    I know you're contractually obligated to love everything SEC now, but in the past those preseason ratings were used to protect the SEC. If every team is ranked every win is a good win and every loss is still a good loss. I've been I've it before. Thats why i would want no ratings at all until mid season. Luckily the sec is falling off and people are starting to see it.

    Doh! OK, now I see. Sorry. Texas was 5-7.

    OK, so, you think that a 5-7 Texas team should not be ranked in the Top 25. But apparently those who do the ranking think there must me something there. I do not believe that the national poll voters have any prediliction toward ranking Texas that you apparently think they do.

    So...beyond your prejudice against them....why are they ranked?

    And why is TAMU not ranked.

    Again, you are closer to the situation than I...but please try to provide an unbiased explanation.

    That ranking must have a lot to do with Herman, who is a very good coach.

    Because A&M has not finished in the top 25 for three straight seasons and this is a rebuilding year. No reason to put them there. With Texas, it's inexplicable. No matter how bad they suck or how little they return, people will rank them in the preseason. And by "people," I mean about 80% of preseason rankings.

    Sounds like A&M has a JFF hangover that has gone on a long time....about as long as the one's the Browns are suffering from.

    Let's hope Garrett is the cure for that for the Browns....can't tell you what would cure it for TAMU.

    That means others get lower rankings and some are just right...the Goldilocks preseason polls.

    And yes everyone knows it's PRESEASON! 😕

    Except, even though it's preseason, those rankings have a lasting effect on the rest of the season

    Only if the teams play to about where people ranked them in preseason. If a team that is ranked Top 5 loses 3 in a row...say bye bye.

    And if a team that is unranked ends the regular season at like 11-1....they will be highly ranked.
