New AP Poll Dec 1

I had pretty much abandoned the other polls once the CFP poll comes out. I didn't realize movement in the AP was well correlated to movement by the CFP committee.
All these threads on polls, playoffs, and coverage just reiterate for me why I pretty much just watch ISU as far as college games anymore.
I gotta say I don’t understand all the outrage and griping over the rankings and the SEC. Rankings are reasonable for the most part. I don’t think it’s a travesty that one 3 loss SEC team may get in over a two loss Miami or SMU or BYU. They have some good wins.
I do think Boise is overrated given their schedule and lack of quality wins. I think BIg 12 and ACC champ should get the bye over them.

I wouldn’t let people complaining on message boards ruin your enjoyment of college football games.
As we all know there is politics involved with who makes the playoffs. This is one reason the Big 12 will not be left out. They have to leave a few scraps on the table to “prove” the process is fair.
No, more like the threads are a reminder of the outright corruption and poor quality of the networks and polls.
Yeah it's a shame actually playing the game and allowing those results to mean anything.
ESPN is trying to script the story lines but actual games tend to throw that out the window.
Yup, it’s exactly like those cooking/baking shows my wife loves to watch and I despise. Grab some big names, no matter how good they are at actually cooking/baking a pit them against each other. This has just become “Top Football.” It’s based on nothing more than TV ratings. If you are good at football and not in the SEC or B10, they actually don’t want you in their cook-off, you might upset the narrative.
That's cool but here's hoping you also aren't one who goes 'ISU must be the only team that struggles in the red zone' etc.
I mentioned this earlier sarcastically and thinking about it more, ESPN would probably mock the B12 for it in between showing highlights of Georgia/Furman.
Wait until you hear about Mizzou losing a game and having the committee leave them exactly where they were. Now imagine that happening to any team outside the SEC/B1G.
