USC is on the rise to a no-bowl season again!!!

[symple19]

I was surprised that he put UT at a 4, like he did A&M and Okie St. I understand the horns had a down year last year, but there's no way they shouldn't still be a 5

No proven QB.

Do you mind sleeping on the couch tonight? I've got company coming over later

Okie St and A&M should be 3s.

[symple19]

I also thought it was curious to put Miami and Tennessee at 2's.

He cries about the Canes facilities, but those guys just need a good coach and it will get turned around

Tennessee still has a lot of talent and I think they're going to be back. LK really left a mess behind him, but their facilities are as good as it gets, so they'll be back too.

[symple19]

^ neither of those two programs are devoid of talent

[symple19]

No proven QB.

Bama doesn't have one either

[symple19]

Neither does VT

[Thompson]

Okie St and A&M should be 3s.

Don't be ridiculous. We're a top-10 team in a lot of polls, and we're primed to have a great year for the first time in a decade. We're also doing very well in our recruiting at the moment, and if we have a very good season success can snowball quickly. Your bitterness is clouding your judgment.

Do you think a&m has recruited better than tech?

Oregon State at 3 is about right. I think we could be a 4, but I'm okay with the perception that we do more with less resources.

I'm assuming you're impressed with Tech's recruiting relative to A&M based on the 2011 Rivals class. That's kind of a small sample size, especially considering that was an atypically 'bad' recruiting class for us. If one year impresses you that much, I think I can safely guarantee that we'll far outstrip Tech in 2012 recruiting (we already beat Tech head-to-head for Trey Williams).

It's not outlandish to predict that A&M could finish in the top 10 this year; you're either bitter or not too bright (or some combination of the two).

You're either butthurt-illiterate and can't read the article, butthurt-ignorant and didn't read the article or just butthurt-stupid.

'4: Potential to join the sport's elite in the near future.'

So consistently increasing win totals every year, potentially starting/finishing in the top 10 this year, along with progressively stronger recruiting for A&M (not even factoring in the bump they'd likely get in recruiting from finishing in the top 10) is still not enough to say they have the 'potential' to join the elite?

My gosh you're an idiot.

Bump this in a year. We'll see who's butthurt.

God I LOVE college football!

Bump this in a year and it will still be you butthurt over me calling A&M a 3.

butthurt moron.

So with the soon coming apocalypse and downfall of the Buckeyes now in motion, who is gonna win the Big 11 er + 1 er -1 er whatever that conference is called now?

I think Nebraska will take it. Wisky should be pretty good too.

Nebraska should be solid. I don't know if they have will be able to handle the difference between playing just one good team (i.e. Texas or Oklahoma) as opposed to playing good teams like Whisky or MSU. Gonna be good to see the conference have some hope now that Tressel got tatt'd up and fed to the lions.

You're ing about how A&M should be a 3 because you're bitter that we're now on the ascendant track Tech appeared to be on a few years ago, before you returned to mediocrity.

Your bitterness has clouded your judgment. We're likely starting and finishing the season as a top-10 team; our recruiting has benefited enormously already from our success last year (success we are likely to top this year). Any objective person would have little problem saying a team with those factors could 'potentially join the elite,' especially when combined with the resources and rabid support of the 7th-largest university in the nation.

Also, your 2011 statistical anomaly notwithstanding, A&M will likely bring in classes superior to Tech for the foreseeable future.

Care to dispute on the merits, or does your Tech education exclusively provide you with name-calling as a retort?
