I don’t understand rankings. If you really think that Texas is the best team in college football as the rankings indicate, and last week you thought the best team was Ohio State, then how do they drop to 6 after a 1-point loss in Austin? Georgia has two wins and no losses, but a one-point loss at the best team’s stadium is more impressive to me than beating Tennessee State and WKU by a million. It’s never clear to me what these polls are actually supposed to measure

The AP poll is a measure of the voter's IQ. Thats why they don't make sense.

Ty Hildenbrandt from the Solid Verbal is easily the best and highest IQ voter. He has OSU #2. Can’t believe he is just now getting a vote

It’s an IQ test where no one knows the answers but everyone knows some answer are definitely wronger than others
