Do you have to bring up your distaste for the rankings all the time? We know you don't like it.

So i cannot comment when it gets proven as flawed...because it bothers you?
Yeah...uhh, no.

Patently false.
And i have no problem with Utah getting dumped, they played their way out of anything significant, just like Texas. Valo was complaining they should have never been there to begin with, which i agree with but also applied it to Texas.....the system is horrible when you apply it to both schools and I cant see any way to defend that.
Pre-season polls...directly affect the end polls, even when the human programmed computer gets involved. The whole thing is just so goofy, especially when there are ways to actually settle the debate ON the field of play and not in board rooms and in some super secret computer formula that few truly know how it works.
This year is a perfect example of this...the SEC just isnt "all that" anymore. yet, people (and i suspect the computer) still give wins in the conference way more weight than others. Why? Because thats the way its always been? To use your own words...so what? Things change.
I truly believe that with the change to the scholarship rules, we are now seeing how parity is really working its way into CFB all across the country. There isn't a single "power conference" in the whole NCAA right now. The only ones that seem to deny this happening are the NCAA and conference fat cats who look only at $$$$. If that's what you believe should drive the decisions, so be it. If the players were pros I would tend to agree. However they aren't.
