re: Best Win by SEC Schools?

That means they shouldn’t be ranked, then.

No it doesn't. It means they shouldn't be ranked in the top 10. You do understand how this works, right? The higher ranked team should beat the lower ranked teams?
They were beaten by higher ranked teams. That doesn't mean they should not be in the top 25.

The same can be said for FSU, WVU, UL, Utah, etc.

Well, considering Louisville got beat by the #24 team it does indicate they might not belong in the top 25, does it not? FSU has been beaten 3 times. That might explain why they are not in the top 25. But, they might be in the top 25 at seasons end. They lost their QB, though, and that could explain part of their losses, don't you think? West Virginia is another team that MIGHT prove they belong in the top 25, which is why you either go by rankings at the time, or rankings at the end of the season.

Shoot, we could have this conversation next week and none of your teams you beat could be ranked. Does that mean Clemson is not good?

Losing to good teams doesn’t mean you’re good too.

It depends on how many you lose and how badly you lose to them, doesn't it? I'm pretty sure that is the way the pollsters will look at it.

If you lose to a highly ranked team in the first game of the season, you won't drop nearly as far in the rankings than if you lost really ugly in the 5th or 6th week of the season.

I mean...why is a 5-1 Ohio State ranked higher than a 4-0 Miami? Because they got beat by another highly ranked team. It's not that difficult.
Why is a 5-0 Navy ranked #25 and a 5-1 Ohio State ranked #9?
