re: Week 14 AP Poll

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 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.
