I could care less about polls right now. Who gives a shit. Just keep winning. I get IU fans loved talking about their ranking preseason and last year, until they lost to Ole Miss...
Agree.
It's probably just an (over?) reaction to Oregon State housing USC in LA yesterday. I'm not sure it means anything, but it makes our win against them look better if the Beavers put up a strong season.
Agreed on the polls
In a practical manner they are. But those who think you can’t sell rankings or better rankings to recruits this early are missing themselves
Funny how a lucky, overtime game for ND vs FSU (who is beyond crappy at 0-4) and another nail biter vs Toledo (2-2) kept them in the Top 25. But hey, you can believe what you want I guess...
But they dropped while winning. And with polls, it's as much to do with where you are at the beginning as anything. That's why they suck.
We could likely have a valid/productive conversation on those that aren't (which, would likely bring Purdue into that same conversation).
Did I say they were? No. But a win is a win. And it likely helped Purdue get there should they win a couple more in a row...
A productive conversation on this page? Surely you jest!
No, you didn't say they were. That's why I asked what you thought. You seemed to be comparing Purdue not being ranked to Notre Dame being ranked, which is pretty incomparable, so I'm not sure what your point was.
My point was, Notre Dame continued to be ranked after just barely beating FSU and Toledo. So a win is a win and ultimately counts toward votes in the end. Would you prefer Purdue lost to Illinois?
