Early season rankings are such garbage.

I am glad that they are ranked though, so we get more press when we beat them this weekend.

who has played 2 games?

Also, neither poll has been released...

There's no way BYU should have gone down from 20th to 22nd

They didn't. No new polls have been released.

The coaches poll is stupid.

Can you think of a group of people who watch less of other teams around the country than college football coaches?

Seems like they're pretty busy on Saturdays.

Sure, they watch film of the teams they're playing, but other than that, they have a very limited amount of data from which to draw their conclusions.

The bigger issue is coaches inflating the rankings of teams in their conference or on their schedule.

Soooooo, let me get this straight. Iowa is ranked ahead of Miami? Something SERIOUSLY wrong with that. What a joke

I bet that changes with the new polls tomorrow. Even if Miami is 0-1, they are definitely better than Iowa.

why are there even starting rankings before a ball is thrown? Why cant the last BCS rankings from the previous year be used...??? If not...wait till at least three games are played and then a ranking.
