Also, pre-season polls don't mean much unless they don't chage until the BCS comes out. It can give you a jump start but also lays on the pressure.
They can mean a lot...
Maybe more in some polls than others but ......
Let's say that the top 3 teams go undefeated.....
chances are very good that 1 and 2 will play and 3 will be left out of the NC game.
IT IS HARDER than it should be to displace a TOP ranked team. There is an assumption of "we were right" that's why I said that IF ANYONE SHOULD RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, it should be the previous year's winner.
I think we are now talking about what should be a different thread...it changed from my initial "point"
Hope you'll have a great day.

I don't think so. I think the 2 teams with the toughest schedules would play. The BCS formula would take care of this.

What about the term, "Defending National Champions"? If last year's champions don't start off the new season ranked at number 1, then they're not defending anything. I agree with what Les Miles said about that. We're not defending last year's championship, because no team will take that away. Pre-season rankings have been proven to be inaccurate. But hey, that's the system we have, and I bet it ain't gonna change.
