I'm just sayin'
Two questions for you:
1. Who was #1 in last years pre-season poll and did that team even end up in the top ten?
When was the last time a pre-season poll was correct in predicting the #1 team in the last poll.
So keep harping on your polls, their accuracy is so overwhelmingly blinding........
