AP Poll

Wow, I don't even know where to begin. Clemson, after romping on an admittedly bad opponent, didn't move a bit in this weeks polls. However, Notre Dame, who's shit show in Atlanta this past Friday only dropped two spots, giving them tie for FOURTH with Auburn. What happens if they lost? Only drop down to fifth? Come on, Brady Quinn spent more time on his back than a freshman Chi O. Look, I am sick and tired of Notre Dame getting all these special privileges and I am tired of the media puffing them up better than they really are. If you are a Notre Dame fan and want to flame me, I'll allow it if you're actually tied to the school (ie you or a family member attended ND). If you're a bandwagon or t-shirt fan then kindly fuck yourself with a rusty railroad spike. I want to media to remove their tightly wrapped lips from Notre Dame's dick and quit blowing sunshine up their asses just because they have a large fanbase. While I'm at it, I was sad to see that there were more Notre Dame fans AT Georgia Tech's stadium than there were Yellow Jacket fans. I will admit that ND fans went into Dodd and rocked it like a hurricane. The fact that ND had the second most first place votes (8) is also ridiculous.

I'm a Michigan t-shirt fan (mostly to piss off Tully) and I will be the first to admit that they not only should've taken a drop in the polls, but they should have dropped bad after playing a Vanderbilt team like that. Instead they moved up four spots to tenth overall.

Now, let's get to the Volunteers. I'm going to go ahead and say it. I HATE THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE. The fans, the city, the coach, the players, and their stupid endzones. I just can't stand them, simply put. They played a heck of a game against Cal this past weekend, but they lost a ton of credibility last year, and they didn't win better than we did. their win doesn't warrant them jumping TWELVE spots in the poll.

Below is this weeks AP poll. Highlighted in green are my problems with the list. Clemson, of course, is in orange.
