He's an irrelevant guy in the business. He is getting exactly what he wants, which is his name seen/mentioned. He made up some garbage excuse about analytics so he doesn't come off as a complete tool (in his mind - in reality, he is a complete tool). If you look at the poll tracker, his name is all over it for both highest and lowest rankings. So, again, he gets his name seen/heard. That's the only way he could figure out to get publicity. So, I guess it's working.

Nah, he's been a big stats guy since he was a nobody at the Lawrence paper. He just thinks the AP poll should be based on quality of teams, not resume. He was the only person high on Auburn last year and that turned out okay.
People have been complaining about the AP poll for years because of poll inertia, biases, etc. Someone finally changes it up and takes literally all bias out and people get upset.
