THE HARDCORE 25 - Hardcore Listeners NCAA Football Poll

In my opinion, a team that starts off 0-1 doesn't belong in a top 25 until they win a game, which is why I left Clemson off the list.

Brandons list rules, how can Clemson still be in the top 25 if they lost to the 24 ranked team? Unreal Cohen, way to screw up again.

Florida shouldn't be below Missouri. Bias

With all due respect, Missouri beat a ranked team pretty handily on a neutral field.  Florida beat up on Hawaii at home.

I appreciate the concern though.

With your reasoning I expect you to flip Florida and Missouri after UF pounds on Miami and Mizz pounds on Miami (OH) next week. And I wouldn't say handily, Juice exposed Missouri's mediocre pass D for 450 Yards and Missouri won by 10.

With all due respect.

Sorry my mistaket Mizz plays Southeast Missouri St

Did you watch the game?  I was at the game, did you watch it?  Did you see Mizzou's offense pick that defense apart?  The score is not always the final indicator of how a game went.  They were up by 17 with less than a minute to go and Illinois got a trash touchdown.  Missouri's secondary has a ways to go, but the front 7 sacked him 7 times, and he was picked twice.

By the way, is Miami ranked???  Were they in a BCS last year?  Yeah, that's what I thought.  

If Mizzou struggles with SEMO, and Florida whips Miami, then I'll think about it.

sacked 5 times

Congratulations you were at a CFB game, Very good. And yes I watched the game. They should have been expected to sack him 5 times, They ran contain all day with there LB's and hes a option QB. Miami is a excellent program and there coming up, Definetly in the top 35, But whats SEMO ranked? The way you come to a conclusion in your rankings is bias. Miami is 100X better than SEMO. Theres a reason Florida got 100 more votes than Mizz did in the real poles and theres a reason there ahead of them. There better. Really honest question do you think Mizz would beat Florida and explain your reasoning because I know you think they would. P.S. This is all in good fun.

In 10 games, Mizzou wins 5, Florida wins 5.

By the way, Big E put Mizzou ahead of Florida too, and he has no bias.  

Las Vegas Sports Consultans poll has Mizzou at 4 ahead of Florida too.  Maybe you might be overvaluing your Gators this early in the season.  They're good, but after week 1, Mizzou's accomplishments are better.

No you would be surprised, Gators are not my team. Not even close. Glad you mentioned Cohen, Yeah he has no bias but cmon he has Clemson ahead of Bama still Hahah. And your right its just week 1 and Mizzou's accomplishments are better but when UF starts conference play its going to be a different story. Although Mizzou plays in the Big 12 and this year its pretty damn good...Its just not the same.

I agree with A.C Slater..but I do believe Florida would rape Mizz 9 times outta 10. Gotta watch more SEC I guess man..go chiefs go!

With all due respect, Mike, I've been watching college football as close as can be for the past 13 years.  I'm not a novice, and just because they have Gators on their helmet and have a bigger history of success, you can't say this year that Florida would beat Missouri 9 times out of 10.  Maybe you should watch more Big 12 football, or more college football in general.

13 years of football congrats man thats amazing your a superstar,  But it doesn't mean you know about football as much as I do or anyone else. And its not because they have "Gators" on there helmet that they would beat Missouri, Its because of there depth, speed and skill position players...I think you need to look at rosters more and know some players names before you say Missouri 5 Florida 5. Congrats thoe your a champion but you need to stop sipping the yellow and black kool-aid. "Expert" Hahaha

Never called myself an expert, I said I was well versed.

And it's not yellow and black, it's black and gold.

Do you know what, say what you will.  I think I'm done with this conversation.  Onward and upward with the college football season.

For the record, I like you AC Slater.  I only wish there was an opportunity to ask the media and the coaches about their polls.  As far as I'm concerned, this is all in good fun, but it doesn't seem like we're getting anywhere.  

Let's try to keep the money coming in this weekend.  The week 2 lines are still soft, and Vegas won't catch up until next week, so let's take money from the off shores and laugh our asses off.

Mike, I'll be going to the Chiefs game on October 19, so it looks like we're going to miss each other.  Bring home a victory for the boys in red!

Here's somebody else that's pretty high on Missouri.  Rivals.com, the authority on college sports, talks about Missouri dominating the power rankings after week 1.  Check it out, it's pretty informative.

Brandon, Reasoning for Ohio St at 6 is because I think there in a weak conference and believe every team ahead of theml would beat them. If I had to put a 26 It would be ECU and 27 UCLA. My bad if I missed a team
