They only fall out of it within a few weeks. Another reason why College Football is a joke for having it's fake championship being decided by a power ranking.

TFoA Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I agree with both parts, especially Florida State always being in the top 25. FSU could win 4 games one year and still be ranked at least #25 the next year. The system favors traditional powers WAY too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_red Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 That Clemson FSU game ended up being more exciting then i thought...I got bored of it and was watchin other stuff and then i check the score as FSU pulls with in 6...too bad they couldnt have made a better effort for the go ahead score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I agree with both parts, especially Florida State always being in the top 25. FSU could win 4 games one year and still be ranked at least #25 the next year. The system favors traditional powers WAY too much.No doubt, the only difference between a poll from the past few seasons and a poll from 50 years ago is the presence of Miami and a lack of a couple Texas schools.I still prefer college football over hoops, but until football can get its act together, nothing is gonna top basketball's postseason. When you actually have to prove yourself on the playing surface, the Gonzaga's and George Mason's of the world can step up and deliver. When you let a bunch of suits decide, the team with the best record (Boise State) doesn't even get the title.The thing that really gets to me is that they can have playoffs AND keep the bowl games. The FCS, D2 and D3 tourneys all end way before bowl season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why must ESPN insist on showing these early season FSU games, which are usually hideous examples of how not to play football?illwauk...all I can figure is that the BCS Conferences benefit from the status quo...that's why we don't have a playoff.

WJMorris3 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Now we just need Iowa or Indiana to go unbeaten in conference, so Michigan can't win the Big Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The new polls are out, and as expected, Michigan has fallen out of the top 25. Interesting how the coaches hold them in higher regard than the AP does though.The coaches would know the teams better than the writers. (Though, most coaches aren't actually filling out the polls, it's someone in the Athletics Office doing it.) Appalachian State is a good football team, and could certainly beat at least half of the Division I-A teams.How crazy was this weekend in college football?-App. State had a cumulative total of 135,000 attend all their home games last season. Michigan routinely has 109,000 attending each game.-Just how big an upset was this? Michigan has 85 scholarship players, most of which are top blue-chippers, and usually has a recruiting class in the top 10-15 in the nation. Appalachian State has 63 football players on scholarship, comprised mostly of players that all the Division I-A schools didn't want, and players coming from Division I-A schools that couldn't make it with the big boys.-If I remember correctly, Georgia Tech handed Notre Dame it's worst home loss in their long history. (Or, their worst opening game loss in school history, I don't remember off-hand.)-This is the first time since 1934 that Michigan and Notre Dame both started the season with a loss.

Before the season he said he wont rotate QBs once he names his starter at gametime, b/c it's not best for the team. He ends up playing all three. Now, in Game 2, he's already gone back on that. He'll be throwing his players under the media bus like always before too long. What a role model when you're replacing an old Carr, you need more than Les Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 The new polls are out, and as expected, Michigan has fallen out of the top 25. Interesting how the coaches hold them in higher regard than the AP does though.... the first word said it all... Thud! http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7190044I thought they were definitely overrated at #5 but I was still ready to come in here and defend Michigan. I know they lost to a 1-AA school but I figured they were still at least good enough to be ranked between 20 and 25. Then I looked at the polls. The formula I use is simple. Would I bet money that team A is good enough to beat team B? After seeing how they looked on Saturday and then going over the polls I have to say that there isn't a team in the top 25 that I wouldn't bet on to beat Michigan...as of right now. We'll see what happens when they play Oregon. This has to be the fastest and most dramatic turn of a season in sports history. One minute you're number 5 and a national championship contender. Three hours later you're a punchline. Ohio State fan or not, I still feel a little bad for them. I'd have to say that this is about as bad as it gets for a fan of any team.
