So the first thing that jumped out to me was Virginia Tech
ranked at #14 and #15. I looked at their schedule and I see a 7
pt win over 1-4 North Carolina and a 10 pt win over 2-3 East
Carolina, their only other real measuring stick is a 41 pt loss
to LSU. If we take a similar look at a team with the same
record at 4-1 and a large margin loss to #1 USC, we see that
other team ranked at #25. How is a 41 pt loss to LSU a more
impressive outing than a 17 pt loss to the #1 team in the
country? That's just one thing that jumps out to me.
Even more laughable is the number of morans who use LSU's win over
Tech as some kind benchmark, calling it a quality win. I think all
it says is that not only do pollsters not watch the games, they don't
even look at the box scores.
Polls is stupid.
"Championship" games based on polls is even stupider.

"Both for practical reasons and for mathematically verifiable moral
reasons, authority and responsibility must be equal - else a balancing
takes place as surely as current flows between points of unequal
potential. To permit irresponsible authority is to sow disaster; to
hold a man responsible for anything he does not control is to behave
with blind idiocy. The unlimited democracies were unstable because
their citizens were not responsible for the fashion in which they
exerted their sovereign authority... other than through the tragic
logic of history." (Major Reid, "Starship Troopers")
