what's the point of having a ranking system then?
There are rankings based on performance and then Power Rankings based on the eye test.
Arky passes the eye test, but lost too many games to appear in the polls. Pretty simple.

I think Arky would beat FSU handily. Fsu gets absolutely gashed on the ground by teams like BC and Miami

I agree as far as AP Poll but one slightly related thing that I think inconsistent is how this logic informs the playoff selection committee.
In choosing their Top 4 and arguably Top 10 or so they have made it clear that, say, 5-1 against Top25ish teams is better than 2-0 against them.
However, they seldom apply this logic to the bottom half of their rankings since every week you find 2 loss teams that are 0-2 against top25ish teams being ranked while some teams that are 3-4 against top25ish teams are left out.

Yeah, they lost games to top 15 teams, this doesn't mean they aren't a top 25 team. Good Christ, I don't know why this is so hard to understand. Why the hell do we have rankings if its going to be based on wins and losses, and not who you beat and who you lost to.

Even the voters don't understand what rankings mean. Records have nothing to do with rankings. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. "Arkansas has 5 losses, they shouldn't be ranked!!" Well, when you lose to #2 Alabama, #8 Georgia, #15 Auburn, #4 Missippi State, and Texas A&M (when they were ranked), then you shutout an LSU team (ranked at the time) and a top ten Ole Miss team (who holds the lone win over Alabama) DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU A TOP 25 TEAM????
Don't they teach logic anymore??
How many teams in this top 25 list would beat Arkansas right now on a neutral field?
FSU? Maybe
Alabama? no
Oregon? Maybe
Miss State? Maybe
Baylor? Maybe
TCU? Maybe
Ohio State? Maybe
Georgia? no
Arkansas <-----------
UCLA? yes
Michigan State? yes
Kansas State? yes
Arizona? yes
Arizona State? yes
ETC, ETC, ETC
See how this works??
These are called standings.....
