So far, I’ve seen Wilner with BYU 20th and then McMurphy. Anyone see someone else yet?

Furlong has BYU at 15

There needs to be a performance evaluation of these preseason pollsters

None. It's all opinion and how could you ever fault a guy's opinion on a product

McMurphy has always been fairly anti-BYU, but people here revere him for some reason

The other guy in his article has BYU 13th but I don’t think he’s an AP voter.

I don't revere his bias, but I do think he's a solid reporter of CFB news.

Good reporter yes but he's not good with polls.

I still believe IF we’re going to have a pre-season poll, then it should match

Pretty solid idea

It's a terrible model. It's why CFB can't have pre-season scrimmages, cause

I just don't get worked up about Pre-Season Polls

preseason polls are dumb, but they definitely impact your ability to rise during the season

Yep, honestly the first polls shouldn't come out until Oct imo. Week 2 at the

Polemic

With our schedule, preseason polls won’t matter. We have at least 4 games to

Exactly, and I'm a "one game at a time" approach kind of guy

Preseason polls always matter. Better tv slots. Better fan engagement. More tv highlights of our games etc.

HarlemCoug

8/12/22 8:52am

I would agree, but most of our early season TV slots are already decided!

Having Utah and Oregon so high is crazy, having Air Force and Houston ranked and

BYU goes undefeated against the PAC and returns most of its production. McMurphy, "meh" while ranking 3 Pac schools

Typical P5 bias

There are 3 guys they should NEVER invite back as guest on BYU SN: Mandel, Wilner, and McMurphy... Anti-BYU bias

Let's just remember to remind him about this when the season is over

Preseason polls are dumb, but very influential in where teams end up. Sad/True.
