re: Maybe this year is exposing the absurdity of the college football polls

Of course the East and West coast teams get a little bias because that's where a lot of the voters are.
SEC teams, and specifically Bama, have been over ranked consistently the last few years.
Far more than any other conference

BYU being #2 was a joke.
They couldn’t go .500 in the SEC

LSU lost to Kentucky.
Kentucky can be pretty good this year but 15 days later they are a top 2 team? Based on beating who? Unranked trash SEC teams

Why don’t we just put the whole top 25 in a playoff at the end of the year and make the polls relatively meaningless.

LSU 1 or 2? This isn't a case of purple and gold glasses, but rather purple and gold implants

a lot of teams ranked high play a garbage schedule
It’s a fact that more injuries occur when playing more talented teams most EVERY week. Probability increases that MULTIPLE key players get injured thru the season which affects playoff hopes. Also, with tougher games every week, teams can never sit starters late in games like these other high ranked teams who are routinely playing inferior talent.
Due to SOS, some of these playoff bound teams should be judged/seeded accordingly. No fairness in all this. Long overdue - eliminate conferences and force Miami, ND, BYU, Utah, etc to schedule more than 2 tough games a year in path to a playoff berth. Competition level SHOULD matter.
The Heisman media hype should also consider SOS fairness as well but it doesn’t.

The issue with the polls is that the order is determined before the season, and the primary factor in movement is teams losing.
Teams move up when someone loses ahead of them. Teams move down when they lose.
There is little examination beyond the number of losses of how teams have actually played on a week-to-week basis or overall within the season.

Because you beat Auburn, two weeks after losing to Kentucky on an embarrassing last play?

Why do polls even exist at this point? No other legit sport uses a poll because polls are just gossip/opinion. It’s just a stupid thing from the past that the media uses to manipulate the public and the public is too stupid to see it.
And why doesn’t anyone ever question the polls when they are proven wrong every freaking week. No one would accept anything else in their life to be proven wrong every week and still give it any legitimacy. The polls are the only that is shown to be wrong every 7 days and yet still exists. If your doctor, mailman, dentist, car, work was making wrong decisions every week you’d run.

Ohio state looked good against Texas?
Kentucky looked good getting waxed by bama?
UGA looked good losing to Auburn at home?
Miami looked good needing every break to beat a losing record FSU team at home in OT?
All of those teams have general warts as well

That was the statement you made is they were a top 3 team and they just aren’t right now

LSU got trounced by Ole Miss, lost to Kentucky, and has a liability at quarterback.
You can’t point out other teams flaws (one of which is a team that beat LSU) and then ignore LSU’s
