Polls are balanced by the number of voters. Individual polls suck, but the biases are stamped out by volume.

Polls error because humans error. The only non-biased means of ranking teams is via computers, and even then there is much they can't account for that humans can.

Yep. So like I said, polls suck.

Maybe because people are classified as "trolls" around here for putting one loss teams ahead of undefeated teams, and two loss teams ahead of one loss teams?

YES! Somebody has been listening. This is exactly why I've been preaching that this committee is going to suck

Don't forget the ones that have two loss teams ahead of no loss teams because they think it's more impressive to be average against decent teams than dominant against average teams.

Don't worry, the nightmares will cease with time.

These same guys had ranked UGA, UF, SC and LSU in the Top 10 at one time or another.

No, thanks. I just got through talking about how much polls suck. If I start ranking teams then I am doing that which I say isn't cutting it.

Man, you must really love Corvettes! Are there two teams in this country that hate each other any more than Mizzou and Kansas?

So basically his dick made a slave of him.
