Throughout the season, that is. I think the coaches is discontinuing, I imagine the Harris might as well. Will that put more emphasis on the AP poll once again, until the Selection Committee does whatever it is they will do at the end of the season?

They really just gonna stop with the other polls?

I find that hard to believe.

Why wouldn't USA Today want the page views?

Why do i forsee this being the ultimate rustling moving forward?

Can you imagine a second SEC team being ranked 4th in AP and a committee deciding its better to have a different conference in that spot? The closer we get the more this sounds like a bureaucracy of powerful people deciding.

I've always considered the AP to be the one that mattered until the BCS came out, so nothing really changing except the AP Poll won't matter at all because the committee doesn't have to go by rankings.

Why would that be?

It existed before the BCS.

The Legends Poll is a good one.

I've always said that the AP was the most accurate, but the Legends is probably right there with it.

basketball still has an AP and coaches top 25 poll even though a selection committee makes the decisions... don't see why not.

AP can still crown whoever they want as champs.
