I just don't understand that concept. Can anyone explain why that is the case? What does last season have to do with this season, especially after 4 weeks.
It's what makes polls so flawed from the start. Pre-season polls are based HEAVILY on last season's results. Which should have very little bearing on the upcoming season. Honestly, polls shouldn't come out until Week 7-8 after everyone plays a few conference games. Hell, if this was the first week the polls came out would anyone give Bama a #1 vote?
Everyone is so critical about keeping teams where they started in their preseason poll and basing wins/losses off that instead of not having a preconceived notion of where a team should be.

The folks organizing the playoff system would do well to prohibit the consideration of any poll that is published prior to the 7th week of the season. Of course, since ESPN owns college football, and the absence of meaningful polls would remove subject matter for their endless broadcast loops, it will never happen.
