You've not proven a correlation between the preseason ap poll and the committee's first released poll. The SEC's rep is what it is - the ap poll reflects that - [I]but it does not create it[/I]. You show me the quotes from the chairman from the committee and how they considered the preseason AP poll and I'll let you crow.

It's like you've been asleep and missed the weeks of talking about what actually counts when the committee releases their top 25. They don't mention some BS poll. I don't have time for this - but SWC75 is correct in that teams slid around in their rankings from week to week often in direct opposition to the ap poll. This is all the proof you need that they are able to correct things based on quality wins, bad losses, and all of the times when it looks one way - only to be proven opposite (your A&M argument that got debunked before).

I'll give you that the committee didn't reward SoS as much as they should - but it did play a factor and that factor will only grow as I've explained prior. I think there is "BCS-style bias" stuff still kicking around in the committee that will slowly fade in light of the data. In lay mans terms: The SEC will be afforded less room for their weak scheduling practices as people publicly scrutinize what the committee is doing. It's easier to call the members of the committee to account than it is for the amorphous ap voters strung around the country making choices from their couches.

Lastly, your condescending tone leads me to believe that you will not cede any point. Therefore I'm done posting on this topic.
