Rankings are a joke so far

It's why pre-season polls are the worst. Ohio State has not looked like a top 10 team at all.
Rankings would be so much better if there were no preseason polls.

Shocking that you would make a post about OSU.

Ohio State does not belong in the top 10 at all. I guarantee they will lose 1 to 2 more games before seasons end.

Teams used to drop only a mandatory 6 spots in the 80's and 90's - we just bitch more these days.
Yeah...it matters where you start preseason, it always has.
FSU would lose to Miami and drop to #3...in week 2! Everyone else was like frick, how we going to leap-frog this 1-loss mother-fricker even though we are undefeated????
FSU was like a roadblock. They'd lose to Miami, stay right there. FSU loses to Notre Dame in week 10 in 1993! They only drop to #2. Those frickers would never drop out of the Top 5...no matter when and how they lost (and they were unanimous preseason #1 in 1993 - so you basically had to kill them three times to knock them out of the Top 5.)
They end up winning the National Title over an 11-1 Notre Dame team that beat them.

Why do people, year after year (especially since the cfb playoffs started), keep getting worked up about these irrelevant rankings?
Posted on 9/10/17 at 10:50 pm to CatsGoneWild
The melt that keeps on giving the whole year.

It's the second week...

Washington doesn't look anything special after Rutgers losing to Eastern Michigan...
I mean, if you want to bitch about benefit of the doubt and preseason ranking stagnation...look at Washington.
They got plugged in there and haven't moved and haven't done anything to justify the ranking except not playing ranked opponents.
But all preseason is based off of last year...
So all the playoff teams were preseason Top 10 and the Rose Bowl teams, etc.
Washington might actually have to wait until week 7 or 8 until they have a chance to drop a spot in the polls.
You wanna bitch, bitch about Washington getting two years in a row a Golden Willy Wonka Ticket to the playoffs.

Oddly enough I agree with you. If I put OSU where I think they truly belong I would put them about 18th. It is a flaw in the polls. Keeping in mind that you are the least objective person when it comes to evaluating OSU.

Want to know why there are preseason rankings? Because of threads like these. The rankings generate debate. Debate is entertainment. College football exists to entertain.

I think they are okay. My top 10 would look like:
1. Oklahoma
2. Alabama
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma State
5. Penn State
6. USC
7. Washington
8. Wisconsin
9. Ohio State
10. LSU
1. Oklahoma
2. Alabama
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma State
5. Penn State
6. USC

8. Wisconsin
9. Ohio State
10. LSU
