I think they're counter-productive.  They set the tone, set the table, prior to even a single game played.  All a preseason rankee needs to do is to keep winning, often against the most pathetic of non conf schedules.  Deserving teams then find it harder to gain recognition, respect, yada, yada, and the undeserving teams live on reputation alone.  Is it not amazing FL State is like 0 - 19 in the CWS hardware column? I understand they're now "expected" here in America, in every sport... except the pros. Amazing that something right actually happens at the professional level! But I too will be curious to see the preseason poll -- can't resist rubbernecking at auto accidents as well. ;-) While preseason polls are ubiquitous and expected… I think they're counter-productive.  They set the tone, set the table, prior to even a single game played.  All a preseason rankee needs to do is to keep winning, often against the most pathetic of non conf schedules.  Deserving teams then find it harder to gain recognition, respect, yada, yada, and the undeserving teams live on reputation alone.  Is it not amazing FL State is like 0 – 19 in the CWS hardware column?
