Everyone forgets that rankings are based on votes, and the people with votes, and not team performances. You would think if you beat 2 ranked teams in the year you would be able to take their place... Well that obviously doesn't happen. It also doesn't happen if you beat a team that beat another ranked team, and or that unranked team kicked 'your' ass. The only reason why non SEC or other teams get votes is people WATCH the games. Most don't care and they just look at a win loose and judge. Everyone else gets votes is because they watched.

Of course it is all bias one way or another to the SEC and it is how it is... It just like we all complain about ACC north/south and refs etc. all the time. It is the same thing between the NCAA with all the rankings teams/media rights etc. Programs NIL, and every other BS factor.

Rankings are just a hypothetical bias model of media and conference Awipes that are trying to make money and hype up their own programs as well as promote a rivalry rather than just use simple truths of win/loss and I beat a ranked team BS, which is what it is. As it is all about votes, and I bet most of the SEC never changed theres or cares about it much other than we get to see the same stupid 4-6 teams every year all the time even if they were a 1-10 or another Florida State the year before.

I bet Florida may have kicked there arses last year regardless of this years performance and that is what they are all afraid of, and this will perpetuate forever. So army 9-0 means nothing to them, and hence they will not go anywhere for the playoffs regardless if they go undefeated or beat one of the 6.
