I am not sure if anyone is aware but my biggest beef with the selection process is the fact the we 12 sets of opinions that get to pick the top 4. The problem I see is that these 12 opinions are greatly influenced by the ESPN Lobbyist. If we had a selection process based on computers defined before the season starts then I would be perfectly fine with it.
That being said I went out and got the rankings of 6 computer polls ( massey, congrove, fleming, sararin, howell, and billingsly.
Here is how the top 40 would be ranked in a composite of these polls FSU seems a bit low and Bama maybe a bit high. The rest seem pretty reasonable to me.
Computer AP Rank
1 Ohio St 4
2 Penn St 6
3 Texas 3
4 Michigan 2
5 Alabama 12
6 Georgia 1
7 Washington 7
8 Oregon 9
9 Utah 10
10 Florida St 5
11 Notre Dame 11
11 Oklahoma 14
13 North Carolina 15
14 Mississippi 20
15 Kansas St --
16 USC 8
17 LSU 13
18 Missouri 23
19 Duke 17
20 Louisville --
21 Tennessee 21
22 Texas A&M --
23 Miami FL 18
24 Washington St 16
25 UCLA --
26 Oregon St 19
27 Maryland --
28 UCF --
29 Syracuse --
30 TCU --
31 Kentucky --
32 Wisconsin --
33 Kansas 24
34 Iowa --
35 Fresno St 25
36 Florida 22
37 Air Force --

I know it’s not football but I don’t get the infatuation with the WAR rating in baseball. A while back Miguel Cabrera won the triple crown but people were stumping for Mike Trout because he had a better WAR rating. The guy won the Triple Crown!!

The only teams that I see that deserve high rankings are Texas, FSU, and Ohio State. Most teams have not played a legit opponent yet

I keep this updated each week to see the fallout. If there are any other worthwhile polls to add let me know.
