and Pinkel ranking Mizzou! Talk about self interest!

So if a team goes undefeated it’s “OK” for them to vote themselves number 1. I am guessing the logic behind this is because they feel like no one else can beat them since it hasn’t been done yet.

So shouldn’t a team that has one or maybe 2 losses vote themselves 2 or 3? If Chip Kelly had a vote, should he put BSU #1 and Stanford #2 and Oregon #3? That is just ridiculous, right? Is it then that much more ridiculous that Brian Kelly believes his team could beat Texas or Alabama on a neutral field and therefore should be #1?

The whole process and “judgment” system is flawed from the beginning. No coach should have a say, EVER! The comical thing about this is if you look at different conferences and coaches, they tend to vote heavily towards their conference or opponents they faced during the season. So if one conference has more votes because of more teams the overall system is going to be skewed towards those teams indirectly. And if a second conference with a large amount of teams played that conference in more games, the votes will lean towards those conferences even more. And finally if both the larger conferences played each other more proportionally you would expect the overall voting to be more favored towards those two conferences overall and so on and so forth. What a FUCKED UP SYSTEM.

Yet it all begins with a concept of well, who is it WE have played and that is what matters. GOD, I HATE POLLS!!!!!!
