re: Rankings are a joke so far

Why do people, year after year (especially since the cfb playoffs started), keep getting worked up about these irrelevant rankings?
Because as I said, it determines whether you play in the New Years Six and get tons of revenue and exposure, or play a bowl game in Orlando on Wednesday morning on ESPN2.
Teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame and USC have enough advantages as it is. The preseason poll guarantees them one more, because if they meet the minimum ranking requirements, they'll jump the line and get one of those bowl games and perpetuate the cycle.

Those aren't arbitrary. Ohio State has won less than ten games twice in the last 15 years. They've been to a bowl every year but one since the 90s, and were undefeated in that one year. Two national championships in that time, NFL talent, top recruiting classes, etc.
It is somewhat interesting that your list is absent teams like Alabama and LSU.

Are you mad that LSU gets the same benefits?
