No, actually, they don't have much credibility. It's been known for a very long time almost none of the coaches actually do their own voting, and thank goodness they don't, when would they have time to pay enough time to do their polls justice?

And the AP poll has been falling out of favor as people have figured out the voters must not pay much attention to college football. It's obvious the Committee doesn't care what the AP or Coaches polls think.

Of course they do.

There's a reason why the AP/Coaches are posted regularly and discussed and no one gives an f about the ones you posted

Oh, they may be popular, regularly posted in the newspapers, etc., and have been for a long time.

Let me guess, you read your horoscope everyday, too? lol Because that's popular, posted in the newspapers, etc., and has been for a long time, and lots of people give a fuck about what their horoscope says.

Right over your head, eh? The Horoscope is popular, too, DUH, doesn't mean it's legit or should be paid attention to. Damn you are stupid.

Is it popular?

Maybe among the kooks you hang out with...

I've never discussed a daily horoscope with someone. Enjoy your merry band of fruit loops you hang out with.
I never said I discussed daily horoscopes with anyone. You shouldn't assume sh1t. I was making a simple point, but like often happens, it went right over your clueless head.

Just for the record, I've had Minnesota in my Top 25 since the pre-season. But, as for how a team can be unranked (by the major polls) while leading the nation in all those categories? It's a matter of not playing a team with a pulse so far this season.

The Golden Gophers should beat Wisconsin & Iowa this season (but that doesn't mean they will). I think they can beat Michigan St., too; but I believe it is equally likely that the Minnies will lose to one or both of Purdue & Illinois.
Looks like I was right about losing to Purdue. Now, we'll just have to wait & see about Illinois.

Gotta give you credit, you did call it, not just the loss to Purdue, but also the win over MSU.

Against? Oh ya I forgot Colorado is a juggernaut that the Pac 12 schools shouldn’t prep to have their backups in by the 4th quarter.

I forgot how powerful and awesome Colorado St, Cal and Idaho are, lol. And you barely beat the worst Wisconsin team in decades. A Badger team that fired it's coach after losing to your team, lol. And you lost to a Ducks team that lost by 46 to a Georgia who almost lost to a crappy Mizzou team.

Aww, come on little buddy. You got to have something better than that. Colorado is the worst P5 football team and you’re only argument is something, something, Washington State, something.

How bad is the B1G West this season? The team that now looks to be the favorite to win it lost to Indiana
