Stop trusting the AP Poll: Here is why it is wrong
Description
The AP poll criticism is mounting as we examine the flaws in the current rankings. See why voters are failing to evaluate teams consistently.
The current college football rankings system seems fundamentally broken. We analyze the specific inconsistencies in how voters apply preseason expectations versus actual resume criteria across the board. It is clear that the current process does not evaluate all teams on an equal playing field.
By reviewing data from the College Poll Tracker, we highlight exactly where the subjective nature of the voting process falls apart. If you are frustrated by the lack of accountability in the current poll methodology, this breakdown examines why these rankings often fail to reflect what is happening on the field.
Subscribe for weekly college football analysis, and let us know in the comments if you agree that the current voting system needs an overhaul.
