Default The rankings are a joke.

Look at how volatile they are:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankings?pollId=1

OK State jumps 9 spots to #8? A Florida team with one loss to an unranked opponent jumps 6 spots? LSU falls 9 spots?

This makes me think that we may not even get into the BCS should 2-3 other teams win out even with these other conferences cannibalizing each other.

Suppose Missouri beats Texas this Saturday. Who thinks they'll stay #11?

Yeah Missouri was the other team I wanted to mention. Bama becomes #1 Missouri jumps back up into the top 5. All the other 1 loss teams move up and BYU, Utah, and BSU all hang in the wings.

I want to see what the coaches thing. I am guessing they'll be very different this week. Well, I am hoping anyway.

I still don't understand either how TCU is still just sniffing the top 25. I thought for sure they'd have cracked the rankings again giving this BYU game a bit more clout.

You sound surprised.

rankings are not an inverse sort on number loses. No human voting needed for such an poll.
