I wonder how much of us being 33rd in the Coaches poll has to do with D1 coaches not liking Kiffin. Maybe they're jealous of Kiffin's celebrity, his USC money, his father being a successful coach, his bachelor lifestyle, the fact that he tweets and is always in the news. Members of the sports media love Kiffin and we've been voted in the top 25 I guess on a lot of ballots. Hopefully we'll crack the AP top 25 on August 20th. Besides, the AP poll is significantly more esteemed than the relatively recently established Coaches poll. If we could only crack one, my preference would be the AP by a mile.Posted On: Aug 17th 2018, 10:40 AM #379457
I think if we won some non-conference games we'd be ranked higher. Beating a 7-6 Akron, and Bethune Cookman, aren't quality wins. To get serious preseason love next year, we need to bear Air Force and UCF. We might hate it, but past success always influences future projections.
Bama is always ranked 1 or 2, even when they've lost a ton of players, and it's because the almost always play for the natty.
Consistent winning, against quality programs, is what gets you preseason recognition.

I believe there was some research done as to what poll was historically most accurate…can't recall where I saw it though…will have to look for it again.
That said, being in any poll is great for us
