College Rankings, The Essence of Idiocy

Baylor? #4? Loses to unranked WV
Oregon? #2? Loses to unranked Arizona
Oklahoma was ranked #4 preseason, and they've dropped TWO by the mid-way point.
South Carolina ranked #9 preseason, and they've dropped THREE by the mid-way point.

Of course, if you know me at all, I gotta mention my guys from Stark-Vegas. Not even in the Top 25 and now they're sitting #1 mid-way through October.

Seriously? That alone just confirms how stupid these glue-sniffing pollsters from the AP really are. I think the AP doesn't even watch college football and cast their vote on name recognition and/or the scores they see Sunday morning and/or regional bias.

Here's an idea. Rank nobody until the middle of October. Hell, how about until after the stinking season ends? Will it work? Probably not. Folks will still want to do rankings, just like idiotic folks try to rank PRO FOOTBALL.

Really? Rankings for the NFL? It's a practice that's the equivalent of a monkey trying to hump a greased football.

That's what I think about rankings, anyways. What do y'all think? Really interested to hear some opinions on this. I'm charging Capital Hill if I get enough backers to get legislation to ban college football rankings until an appropriate time during or after the season to determine the playoff scenarios.

Of course, the 1st Amendment confirms these morons their right to rank college AND the NFL & we certainly don't have to pay attention to the rankings...but I will do my best to try to save America from this jackass-ery.
