I think the polls are gonna be volatile for awhile. I also think that if you get a lead and can keep scoring you should pour on the coals. This take a knee for mercy and sportsmanship stuff I think is going to go out the window in the new era.

I'm just glad the polls don't have a thing to do with anything anymore except for fanbases shite talking other fanbases. FSU and bama is BS of the highest order. Now that may be different in another month, but right now.........

Well I'm fine with them now, as long as we take care of business we'll be in the playoff. I think we could lose a game and still make it as long as we win the SEC. I'm still not sure how Alabama is ahead of two teams that beat them last year and returned more than they did but go figure...

Oh yes, so the politically correct bullshite that will inevitably enter the picture with the selection committee is your preference?

This WIlner guy though doesn't seem that bad. Just looks like he ranks based on that single game performance and nothing based on preseason thoughts.

Once you look through the rankings you see a ton of movement which is unusual

You might want to read his blog on preseason rankings. Says Auburn was all luck in '13. We actually moved down two spots.

He has West Virginia at #19. That by itself is all I needed to see to know he is a moron.

Of course polls have "something to do with it".

That's all the new system is... a new poll with a 4-team playoff attached.

And the new poll will have all the failings and biases of the old polls, just a different group of people doing them. As a matter of fact, considering the fact that they have removed the computers from the equation, the "new" poll is likely to be MORE susceptible to biases than the BCS process IMO.

Just win out, in doing so you'd beat everyone he said was better.

That sounds simple and all but there are times maybe this year and the future where nobody wins out and you may have 5 or 6 1-loss teams that all believe they are deserving to go to the playoff.. and what do you think happens if human bias rules against Auburn's favor and they are the fifth team and the first looking on the outside in.

It's easy to say win out.. but it's also awfully easy to see what happens if you're the odd man out in a similar situation. There's gonna be a time where a deserving team is left out of this 4 man playoff.

I think it will be better than the beauty pageant BS system we have been using.

ETA: Just look at both polls this week. FSU #1 and bama #2 is a farce of epic proportions.
