Bcs Ranking 10/29

[finswin56]

If you dont have preseason rankings and 15 teams all win game 1 how do order them? Based on who they beat or how well they played? But even that is subjective and may negatively impact a team for the rest of the season if they just played one bad game. If Floridas first game was against Auburn and they lost, starting polls from that game on could kill their chances for a BCS game but because you had preseason polls and both are ranked high it isnt as devestating a loss. Or a team like WVU who doesnt play anyone may never get into the top 5. I dont see how you get around neading preseason polls, they just shouldnt count for as much later in the season. If you clearly got it wrong, dont be afraid to rework your poll mid way through the season for example. Or just wait to have any rankings until a few weeks into the season like the BCS.

That's the problem. This rarely happens.
Just like Motion said, it shouldn't happen until several weeks into the season.
Preseason rankings are pure conjecture, but voters use this conjecture to base their future rankings relevant to match-ups of teams in those preseason rankings.

well, if the voters used their heads, it wouldn't be a problem. we don't have to change anything, the voters just need to be smart.

Don't be bitter because Florida isn't very good.

Worst post of the year.

They only have the best front 7 in all of college football.

A lot things fall under this category, but it has never happened before and we have no reason to believe it will start now. If you know the voters won't fix it themselves, then you need to fix it for them... protect them from themselves.

I know, I thought Peterson was the best player in college football, and that he was more deserving of the Heisman than anyone, before he got hurt.

:yes: Between him and Calvin Johnson, and Peterson has the edge because he didn't have to depend on an inconsistant QB.
