no they do not,
they are NOT National Champions.
There is only 1 National Champion each year and it should carry that as a fringe benefit
here is a by-product of such benefit too..
as it is now, teams like USC WHO DO NOT PLAY A CONFERENCE TITLE GAME, w/out having played what could possibly be a team of their same caliber.
If the 1 position was automatically populated from last year's champion...as soon as they loose,...
then the 1 position could have a little more
room for debate...
when was the last time that the PRESEASON poll was right anyway?

Just watch LSU go undefeated and get left out of the BCSNCG as a result of the start in the polls. Then people will change their mind.

you cant have a system where only one teams ranking is based of last year. bc we are defending champs is the only reason your saying this. to ensure the returning champs dont get screwed they need to be #1.

what do you u do for the 24 other teams?

this is why the poll isn't open to everyone IMO
