it isn't about how good you are it is about how good your record is going to be when january ends.

Just because someone is ranked ahead of you at the end of the season doesn't mean they are "better".

He probably has us at 9-3 with losses to Alabama, Georgia and someone else.

OTOH, he'll have Alabama at #1 because they have one tough road game in Texas A&M.

I'm not at fan of his prediction process because he puts too much weight into what he thinks other teams will do throughout the season, which is virtually unpredictable.

This is such a stupid fricking way to rank teams during the preseason. Rank the teams based on talent, returning starters, coaching, etc., not on how you think each team will navigate its schedule.

In fact, preseason polls are garbage all together. There's no point in ranking teams before they play a game.
