Around SBN: FSU To Big 12 'Inevitable,' According To Report

ATQ's Preseason Blogpoll

You know that college football season is right around the corner when its Blogpoll time. 

For those of you that haven't been around over the past year or so, the BlogPoll is a poll put together and voted on by college bloggers. All polls are to be posted a few days before the official poll is released so that the poll can receive a bit of oversight from the college football community. This accountability, as well as a philosophy of voting based on resumes, not perceived strength, gives the BlogPoll a strong edge over the other polls out there. 

For the preseason poll, we don't yet have any resumes to go on, so I'm just gonna fire blindly on how strong I think each team will be. This will no doubt be change wildly after the first week of games and we start from scratch again.

Below is the first ballot of the year. Tell me in the comments how wrong I am.

You need to give good reasons.

Why shouldn’t Arizona or Georgia be ranked? Who should be ranked instead?

You say Iowa should be ranked 12th, and then say Miami should be ranked 12th.

Miami should not be ranked 12th

Florida State should not be ranked
LSU should not be ranked
Georgia should not be ranked
USC will be ruled ineligible after the fact, but they shouldn’t be ranked anyway

UConn should be ranked 25th. They lost a ton of close games last year and hope to run the corner this year.
Penn State should field a very good defense and should be ranked about three spots higher.
Texas should not be in the top five. They’ve lost WAY too much to contend for a title this year…

We (LSU) will find out soon enough,

we have to play #1, #4, #13, #17, #20 in your poll not to mention WVU, Ole Miss—they have your all Pac 10 QB these days, and Tenn (I guess we will both find out what Tenn is all about but I won’t take them lightly), and if we win our division we will play the East champ. Even with that, I think we will win between 8 and 11 games; We have experience at QB going into the season for the first time since Matt Flynn—Jefferson started every game last year and had a good year and will continue to improve and our defense will be a lot faster and will continue to improve under Chavis I believe, but Sept 4 is soon enough. Texas does have some issues—unproven QB and running game—but they have so much more talent than any team on their schedule besides OU (even have a lot more than OU though) and the most they should lose is one game—if they lose more than one game, people in Austin should be pissed. They play #8—Neb is overrated because the lose of Suh will be big (he dominated Texas) and their offense was bad—particularly QB—last year and I don’t see them improving a whole lot. UCLA is stockpiling talent, but are probably one year away, and they play OU # 11 in your poll which should be the only real test on their schedule. I think Texas will face BSU—ranked way too high because of their weak schedule, I think between 7 to 10 is fair because of past success and having 21 starters back, but the reality is they are ranked in top five—in NCG and Texas will beat BSU by something like 14 to 21 points I would guess. I do hope I’m wrong here, but I think every other major conference will not have an undefeated team and most probably all respective teams will have two losses and Boise will beat both Va Tech and OSU and go undefeated. I hope we get to play you next year at Jerry world to open the season—would be an intriguing game to say the least.

You have quarterback experience

BUT the QB position…well, let me be frank. It was pretty bad. Jeffferson couldn’t start at ANY Big Ten school. LeFell went in the NFL draft. Who else do you guys have as receiving options?

When it comes to me and Texas, assume flamethrowers to be in evidence. Their QB for this season played well in most of one game. And they lost because their hideously overranked defense collapsed against a solid rushing attack led by the Heisman winner and his best friend, and the Heisman contending QB was knocked out.

Jefferson,

had a good year for a first year starter—sophomore who was forced into play early as a true freshman when he should have had time to develop because Ryan P. was dismissed from the team, and our starter Hatch was knocked out and our RS freshman Lee struggled. As a sophomore, he started every game and had 17 TD’s, 7 INT’s, 61 % cp and 9 wins—we were in every game losing close to Ole Miss, Bama, Fl., and you—is not pretty bad for a first time starter and I think our O-line will be better this year, and I’m sure Iowa could have used him last year with Stanzi: 17 TD’s, 15 INT’s, 56 % cp as the starter for one Big 10 school for example. Tolliver, Randall, Russell Shepard, D. Peterson, Chirs Tolliver all have a lot of ability to name a few of the receiver options. Gilbert played in one game—but he is talented and will get in plenty of word against Rice,Wyoming, TT, and UCLA before OU game—yes, and their defense did not have their best game against a very good rushing offense and overall offense—not just the Heisman winner, but Richardson is very good also, but I would not go so far as to call it hideously overranked on the strength of one game. But, UT is ranked #5 in AP and high in most polls that matter, and with the schedule they are set to go undefeated or have one loss. Again, I think Neb is way overrated—could have used Jefferson also, I know, not in Big 10 yet, but will be soon—and UCLA is coming but not quite there, which leaves OU which they could win or lose and at the end will be undefeated or with one loss. Again, this is not something I hoping for, but it seems very likely. Ohio St. could have one loss—I think they will lose at least two—to knock out BSU and play UT, but I do think BSU is going undefeated and UT will be the team undefeated or with one loss to play them in NCG.

You are a Big 10 guy--and that is how it should be.

Do you break out in a Big 10!, Big 10!, Big 10!….chant when Big 10 teams are playing non-conference teams? SEC fans catch a lot of criticism for pulling for SEC teams over non-conference teams. I do it just because, but if you do not pull for teams in your conference when they play non-conference opponents, common sense should trump whatever reasons you have for not doing so. You would rather beat a highly ranked Iowa, Penn St., Michigan, ect. because at the most basic level, it helps your respective team in BCS voting. If Big Ten teams win bowl games, and NC’s, then it helps with perception, recruiting, and interest which again helps your team out. Please tell me you respect four straight National Champions and 6 of the last 12 including two thorough wins over the team that has dominated your own conference for the last five years.

No Ohio State fan truly cheers for Michigan.

There’s a mental block in my mind whenever the idea of cheering for Michigan comes to mind. I don’t want THEM to do well. I want them to do terribly given the decades of damage they wrought on the Big Ten, and the idea that they can somehow influence the divisions when they’re not even competitive in a major sport.

Being a lifelong Badger fan,

what is your take on Big 10 divisions? Who should go where? I do think Michigan, Ohio St., and Penn St. should not be in the same division.

by mjtig on Aug 23, 2010 8:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think they should

for the simple reason that Michigan is a nonfactor. David Brandon can TALK all he wants about how great two matchups against Ohio State would be, but has he watched the team RR has fielded that last few years? Apparently not. The idea that Michigan can influence anything at this point is pathetic. But had this realignment come about in 2003/04, when Michigan was a solid Big Ten team (that absolutely failed when they went to Pasadena), then I could see the merit of it.

Now, when Michigan isn’t a power? No way in h3ll should Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Michigan State get shafted just so Michigan can screw the Big Ten as the ACC was screwed when they made nonsensical divisions in the hopes that Florida State and Miami would play in the ACC Title game.

07 was 07

Your defense wasn’t even that good. There’s no excuse for giving up 50 points in a game. There’s no excuse for giving up 43 points in a game.

Without the 4th quarter heroics of Matt Flynn (who WAS a pretty d@mn good QB at LSU and far better than JR in my opinion), there’s no way LSU even makes the SEC title. Without Tennessee being insanely fluky, there’s no way they win it. And without Todd Boeckman under center, there’s no way the Tigers win the NCG.

There are chains of causality, and then there’s 2007. With a healthy Dennis Dixon, there’s no way LSU even SNIFFS the National Title that year. Oregon would have gone coast to coast.

I’d like to see Georgia play UConn ten times on a neutral field, or even on UConn’s field, because I’d imagine Georgia would win at least nine of those.

If you want to give UConn a reward for being all cute and Big East-y, fine, but please, don’t suggest they “should” be the only ranked team in a group of five including FSU, LSU, GA and USC.

Don't discount Wisconsin

They have all 5 linemen back (That sounds really nice, I wish we had that…) and a good/great RB. The most productive QB from the Big10 last year and good WR and TE. Their offense should outscore almost all of the other Big10 “offenses.”

And I know that might not mean anything when comparing them nationally, but they will be strong in the Big10 this year.

Look at it this way – how many of the teams ranked above FBSU would you reasonably expect to beat them on a neutral field in the opener? FBSU would perhaps be more than 50/50 to beat TCU (they’ve split close games the last two years, but FBSU won more recently), but I would say that every other team above them would be likely to win head-to-head. Leaving out any discussion of the Ducks, I’d say they’re possibly too high, as I would have OU and VaTech favored as well.

I’ll take them over Wisconsin, Iowa, Texas, and TCU. I’d say Florida and Nebraska are probably 50/50 games.

If it were my ballot:

-TCU and Boise would essentially changes places, since the last time they met Boise won and they are returning most of their starters. I understand the arguments about the defensive coordinator, but given the choice I’d take having nearly all the starters back over having the defensive coordinator return.
-I’d drop Wisconsin a few slots. I actually like having Iowa around that high, though.
-I think I’d raise VT up a few slots.
-I don’t think I’d have Arizona.

That’s possible. I always thought they were a good team that underachieved in several games, which got them into deficits that they were able to then dig themselves out of.

Your point that a good team wouldn’t be in that position is well taken, but here’s my counterpoint:

That’s Ricky Stanzi, their quarterback. You probably weren’t ready for that.

My 2 cents

- Florida too high- Should be around 11-4. Too much turnover and Tebow was actually good.

- TCU too high. Put ’em at 10. Just wrong to put them over Boise.

- Wisconsin and Iowa too high. Should be mid-teens. Iowa was lucky with the number of close wins they had last year while Wisconsin’s offense is one dimensional that was shut down the few times they played a decent defense.

- Boise St too low. Should be 4 or 3. Too many returners from a BCS bowl winning team.

- Oregon too low. Masoli hurts (notice that you didn’t penalize Florida for the same thing? Or Texas?) but there’s too much else returning. Should be anywhere from 5-8.

- North Carolina too high. Where is the offense? Should be around 20.

- Florida St too high. Place ’em around 23. Lets see what the new coach can do first.

- Penn St too low. More like 11-15 Good D, good O.

Basics that I can go with is:

Many BSU fans we’ve encountered with on the site have been some of the most obnoxious posters that lack humility and still post with a victim mentality.

The two games we played against BSU were left with incredibly bad tastes. We have games with cheap shots, abysmal playing, trash talking, and punches.

It isn’t just bitterness, but there is some contempt. I can’t say that my opinion of BSU hasn’t changed for the worse over the last couple of years. (I still like a lot of the folks on OBNUG. But some of them really need to shape up.)

not saying you're wrong just an easy place to add my 2 cents

Most of the comments think some one is too high or people are right on. Who is too low? I think thats the nature of preseason polls, its easy to say some one is too high, but its hard to say how needs to be higher. Just a thought. First poll in weed five is a win for everyone.

by trumpetduck on Aug 21, 2010 3:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

I thought Stanford, WVU, Houston, BSU, and Pitt should be higher. Preseason polls are are hard to do and it’s easier to defend your picks with a traditional power and school with high recruiting rankings. There are more tiers than positions in the preseason and as long as teams in the same tier are grouped together I think it’s a pretty good poll.
Unfortunately, waiting five weeks for a poll would never work because people in the media will still do polls because people will read them, it’s interesting to talk about, and the coaches will just take the writers rankings and go off that.

by jcgoducks on Aug 21, 2010 3:54 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

I just can’t put BSU any higher based on how I’m ranking this. At this point, it kinda comes down to who I’m taking on a neutral field, and I think BSU at 9 is about right.

For some reason, I’m liking Iowa and Wisconsin this year. Iowa was unimpressive a lot last year, but showed a lot of toughness after Stanzi went down, and with him back, they’ll be solid.

I’m not buying the Big East at all until they prove me wrong, and the same goes for Houston, who is like the Fresno State of C-USA.

fair points

i just have a hard time not putting boise state high because they haven’t lost in two seasons and return 21 starters. they are always prepared and teams seem to have a hard time preparing for them. i think they’ll beat vatech.
iowa certainly doesn’t get style points. i’ve rewatched a few of their games this summer (it was on the big10 network and i needed to watch football) and they look awful for three quarters and pull it together in the fourth. and i’m not sure stanzi was fantasic last year, he threw 15 picks and not a ton of td’s. if stanzi really improves, iowa will be scary. i guess i don’t have a problem with the ranking, because they’re surrounded by other teams at the same level.
Based on last years performance I think Wisconson should be in the midteens, but your’e the one filling out the bracket, and if you like Wisconson and are forecasting them to do well I’m not going to disagree with your ranking (i like the serious conversation, but i’m well aware that this is for entertainment only, so if i seem critical i apologize).
houston had a big win over #5 okie state and beat texas tech last season. they did lose to a couple teams they shouldn’t have, so i would agree with you on houston, touche.

USC Question

We all hate Lane Kiffin and want to see him fail, right? But, since they can’t go to the Rose Bowl this year, wouldn’t it be best for us if USC went 8-1 in the Pac-10 (with Oregon being their only loss)? Every win they get pushes one team further from the top, which could be really important if things are close come December.

Is there a more logical way to look at this, or do I really have to root for USC this year?
