How can a team drop in the polls if they just happen to beat a weak team that week? It's stupid, I think. Until that team loses, they should stay at the same ranking, or move up with a team ahead of them that loses.

Just cause a team is ranked high preseason they should keep that rank? If a team is playing great against great opponents then they should move up. If Oklahoma is playing ok against ok opponents then they should be jumped.

This is the reason that preseason polls suck. With your logic, if they rank Boise and TCU at 1-2 and neither lost they would be in the NC over bama, LSU, etc...
Remember that TCU will be in the big east next year.

quote:You drop them because the rankings are flawed to begin with. OU was number one to start the season in part because they were seen as the team most likely to go undefeated this year, not because they were seen as the best team. They didn't win the number one spot on the field. This is all part of the reason the rankings are a joke.

not when they were put at #1 with zero empirical evidence they deserve to be there. If LSU rips WV a new one they deserve to be #1. If LSU wins close and Bama skull fricks Arky then maybe Bama will deserve it.

why should a team stay #1 just because the media factored in their sched and lack of championship as reasons they have the best chance of going undefeated, therefore, we rank them #1 preseason?
your logic, a team can play 2-13 on their sched, win them all, and still be 2nd because the #1 team was number 1 and didn't lose. that makes total sense.
