polls this year and last were to make Florida look good when Florida won. He is just helping out the SEC and Big12 this season.

He'll just elevate Florida to a top ten team if they beat Utah to justify his

This is what happened last year.

He also has Oregon State way higher than TCU. Funny how a Rose Bowl loss is

This is my fear. Clowns will still rank the old Pac 12 teams higher even after

Isn’t he statistically the worst AP voter?

It not, he is close to it.

Yes, he had to produce a bogus formula to justify consistently ranking PAC teams

I'm not sure I'll ever understand this criticism; the data just doesn't bear it out

Here's his 2022 data for the PAC. And for BYU

Hahaha, a great example of confirmation bias here.

I agree. He is the worst

Furlong is a liar and a dweeb.

Makes as much sense as ranking Jeffrey Dahmer ahead of Russell M. Nelson in the inspiring people category.

What's silly is believing that biased writers aren't biased

We'll see where they are ranked, but my bet is he is within 4 spots.

The Utes have been overhyped for the last decade playing in a weak conference

Utah is a good program and Whit is an incredible coach

EDthoracotomy

8/14/23 10:33am

"...been an incredible program" that hasn't won a P4 game since 2017?

Brandoblueblood

By incredible I mean consistently good in a P5 conference.

Won't even have to wait until 2024...the first two weeks will show us.

Utes haven't won a P4 game since 2017 aktchyewally

Amen. Same crap happened last year. They lose to Florida and its almost like

Then again, the loss to #3 BIG team Penn State was a blowout...and #10 ranking?

Brandoblueblood

Exactly. Utah was not good. Decent but not good.

EDthoracotomy

8/14/23 3:30pm

They are going to start their QB3 too. This makes no sense.

I honestly don't think media and voters have accounted for this yet. When they

Why would he drop them… if they were beat by a team with a top 11 win. No shame

Jokes on him. the only reason the Yewts were getting propped up in preseason

Don't worry after 3 weeks there will be no PAC teams in the 25

BYU Grounds

Although they do still have PAC Homer voters. What a joke that has been.

At what point does furlong abandon the Pac 12? Next year? This year? Pro Big 12?

ParentingNotForSissy

USC was very good last year and Utah beat them twice. Repeat PAC12 Champs.

The prevailing consensus on CB is that Utah was "terrible" and not simply that they're overrated?

BlueBlood94

8/14/23 12:50pm

Overrated ≠ Terrible. Don’t worry, lots of teams are overrated, not just utah.

Japan Coug

8/14/23 1:12pm

USC was terrible. They lost twice to the team that got worked over in the Rose

O Gaucho

8/14/23 1:18pm

USC was great? They beat up on weak Pac12 teams and lost to Tulane.

Rise Against

8/14/23 1:26pm

Those were great wins but don't pretend that Utah was great last year.

EDthoracotomy

8/14/23 2:02pm

Based on what? USC won 1 P4 game that year (and it was at home).

Brandoblueblood

8/14/23 2:42pm

Haha, with his rankings he belives the pac is second only to the SEC. Shows you
