quote:Well those teams lost. The final ranking is a compilation of the whole resume, not just games they played against non-Georgia teams. Their rankings were adjusted to accurately reflect that loss on their resume. They are who their record says they are. Not some make believe record where they didn't play Georgia. If a team beats every team except Georgia on their schedule, they are likely going to be top 10. I hardly think a loss is the only game the pollsters look at when the year is over.
The counter to that is that if your team beats a ranked team, that other team's ranking will go down and be lower at the end of the season. It's like if Georgia hadn't have beaten Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi State and LSU, all of those teams would've been ranked higher at the end of the season
The real issue would be major injury. If a Heisman quality QB goes down and the team ends up losing their last 5 games after only losing 1 up until that injury, that final ranking is not very indicative of the teams that played that team up until that injury occurred.

I see what you're saying and you make some strong points, but the more games that a team wins, the less likely they are to have played against as many teams who were ranked in the top 25 at the end of the season.
It's like the other guys wrote: There needs to be a way to integrate both – where was the team ranked at the time of the game and where were they ranked at the end of the season.

If LSU is so intimidating, then how the hell did this happen?^^^ Campaigning to paint the bleachers a new color to make the lack of fan support less embarrassing.
