If team A goes 11-1, and loses to team B, who goes 1-11... should team B be ranked ahead of team A? [/ QUOTE ] LOL

Re: This week\'s ridiculous college football polls

[ QUOTE ] The polls are a ranking of the tops teams from first to 25th. The games played on the field are not the ultimate determination of these rankings, but just more data that gets weighed in the process. [/ QUOTE ] This is obviously absurd. [ QUOTE ] If team A goes 11-1, and loses to team B, who goes 1-11... should team B be ranked ahead of team A? [/ QUOTE ] Well that would kind of be ignoring games that have actually been played. (That is the 11 games that team B lost). All games that have been played, and only games that have been played should be considered when compiling rankings. [/ QUOTE ] This is really just for people bitching about early season polls. It's ridiculous to juggle teams out based on a few weeks, IMO. After 10 weeks it pretty much reflects the record anyway. You usually have the unbeaten teams, the 1-loss teams, the 2-loss teams, etc, all in a row. Early on in the season, especially after say, 3 or 4 games, I don't think there's sufficient data to rank teams purely on W-L records.
