Which poll do you think is more accurate? What team(s) are these polls still getting wrong?

Me personally, I've not put any stock in the Nations Elite rankings, as my children would say "They are do-do butter".  They have the "Nate in sports" vibe to me. Take 4 other polls-get your information--add a couple of unknowns--and throw it against the wall lol. Too each his own though

I trust Jason Frakes more than I do whomever is behind "Nations Elite".  Thus....give me C-J of these two rankings.

I think the CJ Coaches poll is more accurate.

I don't rank anybody.

I share rankings.

 

What are you referring to?

Jason does NOT rank them himself.
He even shows how many first-place votes teams got.

I know, but thank you, but I trust him and his process and the seriousness with which he takes his job.

I trust Frakes too.

I'm just saying he is quoting coaches' votes and it's not his personal preseason ranking of every region.

How does it remind you though?

 

I share rankings so others can see and be aware.

I don't do my own for the sake of a like or tweet or share or reply or repost.

Most of what I post has NOTHING to do with opinions (more often, I'm sharing rankings or offers or commits or other news)
