If Alabama was named Syracuse they wouldn’t be ranked. Sure they beat Georgia, but loss at the time to unranked Vandy who has 3 losses, and then Tennessee who couldn’t move the ball. Escaped S. Carolina by 2 points and have looked bad outside of Georgia. Alumni are up in arms over Millroe and Debor.

SEC teams are over rated this season . They aren’t as good as years past. They don’t have as much separation as years past.

I think this ties into rankings overall. I don’t think there should be any preseason rankings. With the changes to the playoffs i think it would be a good time to wait until after week 4 for rankings to drop purely off resume, not who writers, or coaches think have the best team based on recruiting, or prior year rankings. I would be good if the previous years final rankings would carry over to the next season, otherwise having a preseason ranking gives an already built in advantage to the blue bloods. Look no further than FSU, Michigan, USC, and Oklahoma this season. Right now Pitt’s overall resume is better than Penn St. They’re “big” win at WVU and USC don’t like good right now at all. They basically haven’t beat anyone yet sit at number 3 while Indiana, Pitt, and even BYU have a better resume. If Penn St looses at Ohio St they won’t drop, but if Pitt or Indiana have a slip up they’ll drop and will be beat out for a playoff spot despite having a better overall resume (Assuming none make the conference championship). I think this will force schools to schedule tougher games to make their resume look better, which should be scrutinized by a committee like college basketball.
