Did Pitt's preseason ranking mean anything in 1984?

Isn't the preseason ranking what you Ewete fans used to downplay BYU's win over Oklahoma last year? Yup. Now you're knocking me for bringing it up? Yup. Typical Ewete fan.
Pretty sure I didn't say anything about 1984. Neither did Beantown. He said they beat the #15 team in the nation. I didn't realize Utah had played Auburn or LSU (depending on which poll you look at). The only thing that matters is final ranking. Since you mentioned 1984, I'll remind you that BYU's final rank that year was 1. Something Utah has never done. But go ahead say Cougar fans dwell on the past. It was a Ute who brought it up this time.

Semantics. No, Pitt is not currently #15, but they were when Utah beat them. Utah beat the #15 team. Did Pitt deserve to be #15? Probably not, I think we could all agree. Do preseason polls mean anything? Probably not, I think we could all agree. Should I stop answering my own questions in this fashion? Probably, I think we could all agree.

Typical Ewete fan.

Because no other fan (especially BYU fan) would do anything like that, right?

Pretty sure I've never said anything regarding Oklahoma's preseason ranking last year, but keep grasping at straws. And since I did bring up 1984, it was BYU's win against the preseason #3 that vaulted them up the polls. Then again, it was just the polls and you're right, they did get votes to finish #1. I've never disputed that and even defended it because that was the system at the time. But were they the best team? Very doubtful, just the only undefeated team and the Utes have never gone undefeated, have they?

I'll take your word for it that you never said anything about OU's preseason rank and that you defend the Y's National Title. You're probably the only Ute fan that can honestly say either that, on either count. My comment was aimed at everyone else that wouldn't stop talking about it. Now that the table is turned, they're quick to bring it up in the other direction.

Well in the Ute fans' defense, Oklahoma was ranked #3 in the preseason last year when BYU beat them, and they finished unranked with 5 losses. So the fans that were saying all that stuff (and I was certainly one of them) were absolutely correct.

If Pitt finishes unranked with 5 losses, then you might be able to say those situations are similar. And even then, Pitt wasn't ranked #3 coming into that game so it still wouldn't really be the same thing. But my guess is Pitt finishes in the top 25 anyway so they weren't really over rated by that much (if at all) so it will be a non issue.

BYU went from #20 to #9 after that Oklahoma win. Utah went from unranked to #20 after the Pitt win. Not quite the same thing...
