quote:That's the same number that Florida State beat, and they were #21 after going 1-2 vs. ranked teams. We went 1-4 vs. ranked teams -- beating the crap out of the GT team than beat FSU -- and end up ranked behind both of them because of 1 more loss?
we only beat one team in the final top 25... we don't deserve to be ranked.
Yeah, the polls really factor in SoS.

That poll is full of mistakes. This is from College Football News:
"Note: Remember that the AP poll doesn't matter in the BCS standings. This poll no longer has anything to do with determining the national champion.
Thoughts: 1) Oregon one spot ahead of Boise State, but Boise State had the better record and beat the Ducks in Eugene.
2) Ole Miss beat Texas Tech in the Cotton, but is 14 while the Red Raiders are 12th.
3) LSU destroyed Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A, but is 28 while the Yellow Jackets are 22nd.
4) BYU is 25th and Arizona 36th, but the Wildcats beat the Cougars in the Las Vegas Bowl.
5) Georgia Tech is 22 and Florida State 21. Both were 9-4, but Georgia Tech beat FSU.
6) Michigan State is 24, California 26th. Cal beat Michigan State."
The AP continues to make itself even less relevant. Only one or two teams in the country even care about AP rankings anymore (2003).

loss to arky hurt bad. It was the only loss to an unranked team. Other 4 losses came to top 14 teams in the final poll.
