Only 1 other writer and AP voter (Jon Wilner #25) ranked us worse than Kirk Boles at #18.......

Put on your tin foil hats. Nothing to see here.......

I'd be a grumpy old curmudgeon too if people called me Kirk Bowels.

Rece Davis has us at 6? It must be a ESPN conspiracy to make us a top 10 team for when we play Clemson...

Polls...you're either too low or it's their fault you crap your season away. No middle ground...

We have to earn our ranking rather than have it given to us. All of this is hype and click bait, which I obviously bit on as well.

Just win. And keep winning. Polls are basically irrelevant if you take care of business.

In some fairness, it looks like he was just carrying water for the sip AD, not a personal vendetta:

-voted the sips a point lower than the avg to make himself look unbiased
-ou 4 points lower than the avg
-puffed up iowa state 7 points higher than the avg (fatten them up for if/when the sips beat them)
-puffed up lsu 2 points higher than the average (need to make the beating the sips take look respectable)
-voted Oregon 8th, 3 points higher than avg, probably to put them in front of us
-voted Utah 4th, 11 points higher than average

Headscratchers that most did not vote for (until you consider the angle)

-voted Mizzou 25 (expected to pound WV in week 2)
-voted NW 14 (probably just filler)
-Army 17th (filler)
You do realize that every vote will be either above or below the average... don't you?

And I'm not sure "filler" is much of an "angle" to consider

It's not the length of time it took, it's the face that you made the statement at all. Polls mean absolutely nothing about what our team does on the field. They're just created to incite stupid reactions.

Somebody needs to tell Bohls his twitter pic is from 15 years and 50 pounds ago.

Bohls did say we would be beat one of Clemson, Alabama, Georgia or LSU.

Maybe I'm a media dummy but I have never heard of about half of these media outlets. What about the good old days when large papers had a college football writers who covered the biggest game of the week?

Except many die hard Texags users think seven wins is a likely outcome for us. Are we all sip trolls?

I don't think we are lower than 10th or 11th as it stands right now.

But until we close out games like Auburn and MSU last year any "disrespect" we get from the media is deserved. Earned even. We had no business losing either of those games.

It was year one. We will see if Jimbo is the guy this year and next. Lose another one like either of those and it would be hard to say we are any better than we have been.

I see why you are suffering - this must be a record for the number of conspiracy theories in one post.

Point 1:

You do realize that of the 62 voters, Bohls's ballot had an average variance of 3.62, which tied him for second highest. The median variance was 2.08. That suggests that his opinions are unconventional at best, prejudiced at worst.

Point 2:

He ranked both NW and Army ahead of us, teams that did not make the top 25.

Army (~2/3 voters did not vote for them)
16(2)
17 (2- Bowels and another)
18 (2)
20
25 (8)
22
23 (3)
24 (2)

NW's votes (~70% of voters did not vote for them)
15- Bowels
18
22 (2)
21
23 (5)
24 (4)
25 (5)

Some more information
ou
3 (12)
4 (21)
5 (20)
(53/62 voters had them 5th or better
6(6)
7
8 (2- bowels and another)


It is plausible that Bowels just has a very different outlook. Probably, he abuses his position to benefit his home program in exchange for access.
