Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1245968, member: 289"] But how many of the teams in the final poll are ranked where they are because of the pre-season poll? Would Oregon and Ohio State not be in the final if they weren't ranked that high at the beginning? Ohio State lost their high ranking and regained it during the season. Oregon retained theirs because they won. They wound up in the same place because they kept winning. TCU almost wound up there after starting out unranked, because they kept winning. My point was that the final ranking is at least 90% based on what happened during the season and that statement is obviously correct. [/QUOTE]
