re: ESPN AP All-Time Top 25 has several SEC schools.

I think they should take out the 2 points for being ranked #1 in the weekly polls. That is the weak spot in the criteria. It gives too much weight for a team that might have been shown to have been ranked too high for long stretches of the season.

Mississippi State received almost as many points for 4 weeks at #1 a couple years ago as a team which won the AP title.

I'd have less of a problem with such a criterion if the polls didn't start until at least after week five. This pre-season rankings stuff we have now is bullshite.
