Denard Robinson credited the offensive line, the running backs, and GOD for beating Notre Dame in front of touchdown Jesus himself.

They shouldn't even rank teams until the 4th week.

Denard won the Walter Camp award for the nation's offensive player of the week for the 2nd week in a row. He's the fourth player to win it more than once in a season.

Did you say Yaeger bombs???

Did anyone see the schlacking that Uconn handed out Saturday? I suppose that was because they had a weak defense and offense?

No, that was because they played a bad FCS (1AA) team. At least they didn't lose like UM did to App St or VT to JMU.

in what? the yahoo readers poll? they also have FSU ranked, after getting buttfucked by oaklahoma! :lol:

i agree... week four would be a good time to start the polls.

I'd say week 6. Why give some schools credit if they play a cupcake preseason schedule?

This. At least week 6. Anything before hand means nothing

Oh come on. What the hell are we going to talk about if they don't release meaningless ratings every week? The more the better. Hell, release a new ranking Friday based on the Thursday games. There's really no need for a rating before the final week of the regular season ends and they need the ratings to determine what happens in the BCS.

Week 6 sounds good to me too! They need a couple of conference games before I would consider any type of rankings.

 

[jdustu]

I thought about that too....but what does 2 games in conference matter? If you are only basing it within conference, nobody "really" knows how tough that conference is relative to other conferences anyways. Besides that, the Pac 10 already has played conference games at this point :lol: No matter who you are playing, cupcakes or not, 4 games at least give you a feel for the team. They may collapse after that, like Michigan did last year, but it's a better starting point than doing it in the preseason.

The problem is, is that these meaningless early season rankings mean too much without a playoff system.

That's the exact problem - especially when multiple teams go undefeated. When you have 3 teams without a loss, it's the two that started off as a higher rank that get the shot at the championship. Same can be said when there's a bunch of really good 1 loss teams (in general).

It wouldn't be 100% perfect, but I think there should be at least a 4 team playoff (1 vs 4, 2 vs 3, winner's play for the number one spot).

 

[Swifster]

It wouldn't be 100% perfect, but I think there should be at least a 16 team playoff.

Fixed that for you...
