The Polls (AP, Coaches, & CFP, etc.)

Not seeing much hate on here for Michigan State being in the top 25. If any school is over-ranked, it is them. Hard to find a satisfactory answer to where teams rank when they have played 2 or 3 games with the majority of the games effectively being scrimmages.

Point being, all rankings aren't worth the ink they are printed on right now and its just as much a blue-bloods (MSU, A&M) versus non blue-bloods (Kentucky, Iowa, Duke) problem as anything else.

I don;t know if i'd consider MSU a "blue blood". They've been a good threat since only 2010. From 1970-2009 they had only 1 10 win season and 16 losing seasons.

I know for certain that I do NOT consider them a blue blood.

Likewise, I also do not count A&M among that number.

Yea A&M is mostly a product of self hype. On field product has been pretty mediocre in my life time. They only have 1 10 win season since the turn of the century (which puts them below MSU actually) you wouldnt think that though from some of the stroking they've received in recent memory.

SEC, SEC, SEC!

Seriously, though... TAMU claims 3 Championships (two are "retroactive")... the most recent? 1939

The AP needs to die. Somebody really voted VTech as #12... they were #13 going in.




Nobody voted for BC... but Kentuky jumped 14 places so they could keep MsSt in.

Why would anyone vote for BC? Lost by three scores to a winless team and the only team that has been in the FBS for more than 5 years that they beat just got boatraced by a mediocre ND team.

I think this is just further proof people turn in ballots before the games are even played

Lol, who else besides Dabo is giving Clemson a #1 vote. Obviously it is an ACC coach doing so out of self-interest, which is just another highlight of how useless these polls are.

LSU and ND being behind Clemson and Oklahoma is a joke.

I still don't know why people are not punishing Michigan State more.
