More American Teams in the poll than ACC teams. Wow
Hopefully ACC will become an improve conference now that Miami is this year's runner up.
And yet the ACC team that went 10-2 with losses to unranked teams and didn´t make its conference championship gets in over the 11-1 Big 12 team that made its conference championship whose only loss was to the other team in the championship game. Make it make sense.
This = a Dittos post to BYUfan.
Thanks for starting the thread Tim & congi uing it Dan-NW-IL-MI.

"Keep Nonsense Great Again"
ALbama-Dame Not Ours-TXAM.
4 losses-Did.Not.Play.- Did Not Play in the Championship game. Eliminated by Miami in the 1st Round.
Michigan will make CFP in 2026.
We should discard the AP poll because it creates bias that influence the selection committees.
Not a bad idea.
Winning is more important than being rated in AP poll.
Alabama and Notre Dame in the top ten is an absolute joke. Alabama has four losses none of which are good and Notre Dame should not benefit from refusing to play in a bowl game. I can´t wait to beat them next year and see the look on their faces LOL.
AP expects both Notre Dame & Alabama to win.
Why was a team that didn't even play in the postseason ranked in the final poll?
Probably they are putting pressure on Notre Dame.
Don't know why Rutgers is not ranked
In Rodney Dangerfield's words for Rutgers.
