Alabama should stay #1. Georgia still hasn’t played anybody yet.

I agree but I’d take them against anybody behind them, or ahead of them for that matterWhat a crock! Bama should’ve dropped to at least 8th. There are other teams more deserving of that 5th spot. Not fair to those teams.
OSU dropped from 5th to 12th when they lost to Oregon which was highly ranked. Bama lost to a 2 loss team that also should have lost to Colorado which is one of the worst team in football. Minny beat Colorado 30-0. Lol yet espin heavily invested in the sec is spending all day today telling us how good a&m is. You can't make this stuff up.
When OSU lost to an unranked VT team in 14 they fell from 4 to 19.
You can go back 20 yrs and you can't find a Loss by OSU where they only fell 3 or 4 spots no mater how talented OSU was. That's a fact. However, every year I can give you examples of sec teams that start off ranked in the top 10 that lose and only fall a few spots. Heck sometimes it takes a second loss to get them out of the top 10.
Carry in though.

Ok ok ok they get the benefit of the doubt because of their talent as well as eye test. Just like Bama.Funny you should mention all that Snook. Currently tOSU is ranked in the #6 slot, ahead of 6 other teams in the Top 25 that are 6-0 and 2 teams that are 5-0.
Strange huh? How'd that happen?
Exhibit A:

Your Honor I direct your attention to Exhibit A. If you'll notice in 2016-2017 OSU was put in the CFP OVER an 11-2 PSU B1G CHAMPION that BEAT them head to head on Oct. 22nd as an UNRANKED team, while OSU was ranked 2nd. If you'll notice in Exhibit B OSU ONLY dropped to #6 in the polls following that loss to an UNRANKED TEAM.
Exhibit B:

Again I direct your attention to Exhibit A and the 2020-2021 season. If you'll notice OSU was allowed into the CFP after ONLY 6 games, all other participants had to play 11, nearly DOUBLE what OSU did, and the had to have the B1G CHANGE their own rule that member institutions must play a MINIMUM of 6 games in order to be eligible for the BCG. (See Exhibit C)

Please note also from Exhibit A, 2020-2021 Season the number of other UNDEFEATED and one loss teams that played between 6 and 11 games each that OSU was voted in over.
Finally I direct your attention to Exhibit D.
Exhibit D:

This is OSU's schedule from 2018. If you will direct your attention to Oct 20th in particular. On that date OSU faced an UNRANKED Purdue team and lost BADLY 20-49. If you will note OSU went into that game ranked #2 and even after that BAD loss they sill ONLY fell 6 positions to #8.
Media darling or no? I leave it to you the Jury.
I rest my case.

Yep they lost 1 of their last 20Yet they lost to an unranked A&M.

Kentucky should be in the top too. Undefeated SEC east team play the same teams as the dawgs. Maybe they need to suck up to the powers that be tooAin’t no way! Iowa should be #2, Oklahoma #3 and maybe Cincinnati at #4. All undefeated teams.
Correction. They play the same SEC east teams as the Dawgs, but not the same OOC schedule as the Dawgs. I certainly would put Kentucky in the top ten. They deserve it in my opinion. If they beat my Dawgs Saturday, they should go into the top 4.Kentucky should be in the top too. Undefeated SEC east team play the same teams as the dawgs. Maybe they need to suck up to the powers that be too
As far as ND I'm not sure??????
BOOM!!!!!Does anyybody really care?
Me neither but this isn't a ranking system. It's a beauty pageant and the preferred perennial "beauties" are always ranked to "be in the hunt" even when they aren't and until everybody recognizes they aren't in the hunt.
There's also the "teasers" they like to run up there in the Top 25 for a while to make you think all FBS football is competitive and there's some young and up and coming teams in conferences outside the Power 5, but then they slowly fade into the sunset as the regular season winds down and the beauty pageant has to get down to the nitty gritty.
Then there's the two teams that wind up on the bubble that don't get in to The Show. That's all part of the beauty pageant too.
There's only one way to fix this. Win/Loss records period and a playoff system with the Top 10 after the bowls are done.
That's what I'm hoping for as well. Not saying there are more then 4 teams that can win it all but there just needs to be more teams given the chance. A playoff with 12 teams would give us some great matchups as well as a few blowouts but that happens in any sport.Me neither but this isn't a ranking system.

No 2, No 8, No 18 teams???Alabama should stay #1. Georgia still hasn’t played anybody yet.
