VOTING isn't any more credible than computers.
At least with the computers you get credit for playing actual Div. 1 schools instead of filling your extra 4 games with pattsies. Oklahoma plays an OOC schedule that is better than the MEAT of Boise STs normal schedule.
You should get credit for who you play. And voters rarely even look at that. Computers don't forget. When the voters look at the list they see a team who shows a certain number of 'Ranked' teams you beat. They don't realize that some of those teams arent' even in the top 50 now.
I always hated, and still do, how when it shows who you beat, it shows the ranking of the team when you beat them.
Case in point:... (and I"m not picking on Bama, but Penn St. and Forida are a good example)
You have voters looking at a team (Alabama) that has beat 4 ranked teams. #7, #10, #18, and #19.
When in fact right now they have beat 2 teams that are ranked. #21 and #23.
On Bamas list of who they beat it shows;
#18 Penn State (now unranked at 3-3)
#7 Florida (now unranked at 3-3)
#10 Arkansas (lost 2 of the last 3 and down to #23)
#19 South Carolina (lost to UK the next week, down to #21)
The computers will show this. Voters watch Oklahoma dismantle Iowa St. and jump Oklahoma over TCU who beat BYU by 4 TDs. I'm a Sooners fan and even I know that ridiculous.
On the flip side. Voters DON'T see the teams that you beat that weren't ranked that now are.
They also don't recognize that Oklahoma destroyed Florida St. and Florida St. then went down to Miami and beat a damn good Hurricane team on the road. FSU only has the one loss. TO OKLAHOMA.
Computers don't miss this stuff. Voters do.
Should Oklahoma be ranked #1???
I say why not? BUT, I say any one of them could be ranked #1. Rankings are stupid. But if you have to rank them, I see no reason to not rank Oklahoma #1. Along with Auburn, Oregon, Missouri, Oklahoma St., Michigan St., and LSU.
Disclaimer, as far as LSU goes, I'm tired of hearing how lucky they are. A win is a win is a win..............
Yes, they are probably the worst undefeated of the bunch, but I still put them over Boise St. and TCU for the simple fact that LSU this year to me is the perfect example of TCU, Boise, and Utah, being ranked under the rest of the unbeatens. Had LSU played one of those schedules, they wouldn't be called lucky right now. They would have won more convicingly.
Another reason the NFL is superior imo.
