So that Alabama can play a ranked team.

The voters are reluctant to drop A&M like they should so that Clemson will have another top 25 win on the year.

None of these coaches are sitting there thinking about this shite when doing their rankings. You guys overthink things.
And as the first poster said, the answer is because they were ranked in the preseason and their losses are to top ten teams.

This.

Which is why preseason rankings really shouldn't be a thing. Three to four games in would be a better picture, IMO.

Preseason rankings allow mediocre teams to hang around ranked for too long, and unranked teams to start the year get the shaft if they've played well.
