but that's not bad logic.

It is bad logic all things considered. If my buddy chooses to ignore on the field results and think that the results actually didn't count, that's fine. This guy is a supposed professional casting an official vote, and totally ignoring the final score. I mean hell, UGA is abotu a minute and a half from being 10-2 this year although we suck, but I damn sure dont' think we desreve to be ranked like 8th simply becuase we "almost" did really well. It's a dangerous mindset to say "well I know these teams just played each other and we know who won, but I personally don't like the outcome so I'm going to pretend it didn't happen".


Now, with all that said...these days the AP is as irrelevant as WG's own personal poll (that is to say, neither actually count for anything) so I guess this doesn't matter.
