The Flames just lost one game to the Oilers. If the NHL had polls and rankings would the Oilers jump over the Flames based on that one game after the Flames have beaten the Oilers 10 times in a row?

If the result was to go a long ways to determine who gets to play for NC game, hell yes they should. I mean why even have such a system when the play on the field/ice obviously doesnt determine anything? The "traditionalists" as I call them always say this sytem is just fine and even better than others because it makes every game of the season a do or die proposition...well if Bama stays ahead of the very team that just beat them, I say what a load of bunk that argument is.

Does the #19 ranked tennis player beat Nadal and then jump him in the rankings? Tiger Woods didn't win a tournament all year and is still ranked #1 because of his past body or work.

These rankings are based on an entire years body of work and in the end have NO bearing on whether a guy plays for a championship, they still have to beat the opposition on the court/course. You know, prove they are better in competition, and not be voted in by some 300 lb cigar chewing bald sports writer or coach who truly may have never seen them play.

South Carolina has one loss and Alabama has one loss. Alabama started the year higher in the polls so of course they would remain higher in the polls. This isn't a head-to-head tiebreaker

Which is why the whole system is a joke. What a bunch of guys "think" may be true before a snap is taken, has more bearing on the final results than what actually happens on the football field. How is ANYONE OK with that? It's laughable.

I know basketball does that but it's really not as important because they have a big tournament at the end!
