I keep hearing analysts and talking heads bashing the computers and I think
TAMU beats Bama at Bama and they are still ranked below them
Stanford Beats Oregon at Oregon and they are still ranked below them
I realize there are other factors that punish the Stanford and TAMU by losing earlier, but it seems the team ranked higher does not pay as big of a penalty.
The AP and Coaches poll are ranking the teams this way....
Are there other non-playoff sports where you prove you beat an opponent yet you are ranked below them?? I assume Golf is one and maybe Boxing?

So teams cannot get better or worse during the season?
TAMU may not have beat Bama at the beginning of the year - Johnny Football was throwing Int's early on...they learned and became a better football team from thier mistakes
Here is the pre-season AP top 25
1 USC (25) 2 Alabama (17) 3 LSU (16) 4 Oklahoma (1) 5 Oregon 6 Georgia 7 Florida State 8 Michigan (1) 9 South Carolina 10 Arkansas 11 West Virginia 12 Wisconsin 13 Michigan State 14 Clemson 15 Texas 16 Virginia Tech 17 Nebraska 18 Ohio State 19 Oklahoma State 20 TCU 21 Stanford 22 Kansas State 23 Florida 24 Boise State 25 Louisville
Here it is today:
1 Notre Dame 2 Alabama 3 Georgia 4 Florida 5 Oregon 6 Kansas State 7 LSU 8 Stanford 9 Texas A&M 10 Florida State 11 Clemson 12 South Carolina 13 Oklahoma 14 Nebraska 15 Oregon State 16 Texas 17 UCLA 18 Rutgers 19 Michigan 20 Louisville 21 Oklahoma State 22 Boise State 23 Kent State 24 Arizona 25 Washington

Look - my point is not to flame any team - I respect all the blue bloods and the next gen dynasties - I think the AP poll an the Coaches poll are corrupt and extremely biased.
I will use Saban as an example (no flame, just relevant to the topic) - how can Nick, after losing to TAMU, rank his team higher in the coaches poll? Matter of fact how can other SEC coaches rank Alabama higher? They did and I feel the poll is completely biased and should be tossed.
I would expect the same from Brian Kelly

How can you be ranked above a team that just beat you?
