Cy, stop trying to bug everyone.

My opinion: pre season polls are stupid because nobody has any idea about teams at that point, but sort of necessary for hype and making games fun to watch (it's fun to watch ranked teams, even if you know rankings don't mean much early season).

Knowing this, I think voters just need to be a lot less rigid with their rankings from week to week. They've been a lot less rigid the last few years, but they need to be even more so. Each week they should entirely re rank teams on how they feel about them, not just follow the unwritten rule of sliding a team slightly up or down each week unless they lose.

Good post ugli. First good one you have had in while.

You should do it more often

Ute fans, don't sweat the rankings. While I may not agree with them either, things are going to take care of themselves if Utah keeps winning. In the MWC days, the rankings were a million times more crucial when Utah was trying to move up in an effort to bust the BCS.

Utah's next game is vs a ranked Cal team. Hopefully, UCLA will still be undefeated and ranked higher than us when they come to SLC. USC should still be ranked when we play in LA. Arizona will be ranked. The point is, when you factor in the PAC 12 schedule and a possible conference title game, Utah's going to get enough quality wins to put them where they need to be at the end of the season.

Last night was exciting, and that's not even doing it justice, but we've got a long way to go with a very tough schedule ahead of us. I wanna see this team continue to play like we've seen last night and win a few more big games before I worry about getting hosed in the rankings.

This. Rankings do not matter anymore. If we win every game by 1 pt, then we are national champs.

Let's just go beat Cal now. Can't freaking wait.

"Is anyone surprised?"

Love it.

My kids haven't asked for any Oregon clothes this weekend and wanted to wear their Ute clothes to school today. Incredible.

Thanks for embedding that.

On the punt, Utah noticed that Oregon will punt away from good returners. So they lined Covey up shaded to one side of the field. And Boobie back a little. When Oregon saw Covey shaded, they kicked away from him. The punt team chased down Covey and Boobie had a TD.

We have the best coaching staff in the country. No one is more prepared than them. It's fantastic.

This all makes sense except that Covey started out shaded to the side of the field they kicked to. He started out on the hash mark to the kickers left which is the side of the field the punt went to. Regardless, it worked!
 
Cy, serious question just to satisfy my own curiosity: Is there any MSU related message boards that you frequent and post on during the season or do you honestly spend the bulk of your internet time here living in a Ute thread?

Man, there was a MSU board I posted on, but it has the reddit style of posting where it's kind of a pain in the *** to read.
