Not for long...
Anways, I was listening to one of the ESPN Podcasts last week and they had a few media voters on the show with D.P.
D.P. was arguing that the polls should reflect what has already happened and EVERY ONE of the media voters was arguing that the polls should be predictive and not results oriented. So there's your answer.

It is insane to have a poll that awards any sort of a championship (the winner of the AP is considered to have won a share of the national championship) be predicitve. The rankings should be earned and not predictive. If the voters believe that there poll should be predictive, then this system may be so screwed up as to make the national championship chase not worth following at all.
