Title: Hurt: Preseason polls Post by: pmull on August 07, 2011, 07:39:29 AM Nick Saban mentioned on Friday that making pre-season prognostications about the eventual results for a college football team were like "going to the fortune teller." Personally, I had gone to the fortune teller earlier that day and she told me that the first day of practice probably wasn't the best time to point out to Saban that (for this year at least) he voted in a pre-season poll and I didn't.
Saban is one of six Southeastern Conference coaches voting in the USA Today poll every week. (Call me crazy, but I would love to see Les Miles' weekly ballot.) I voted in the Associated Press poll last season, but because the state of Alabama has just two AP votes, it rotates among the news outlets that regularly cover college football, so I probably won't vote again for five or six more years. And, all kidding aside, I do understand the difference in my perspective on pre-season polls and Saban's, which he shares with a lot of other college coaches. http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1248589 Title: Re: Hurt: Preseason polls Post by: ricky023 on August 07, 2011, 10:09:31 AM pmull, are you a writer for a paper?

Preacher, I think pmull was quoting Cecil Hurt on that. Hurt is the one who votes on the AP from time to time.

I think I could do a better job than most of these clowns you call themselves reporters. Title: Re: Hurt: Preseason polls Post by: BAMAWV on August 07, 2011, 04:21:57 PM I wonder what the educated guess is on Les Miles' picks? I would guess that he picked LSU #1. But that would be all I can read into it. Anyone?

I think Les missed casting his vote by a few seconds. ;) Title: Re: Hurt: Preseason polls Post by: pmull on August 07, 2011, 04:26:21 PM I wonder what the educated guess is on Les Miles' picks?
