Understand but it was one of the reasons a 2 loss LSU team was able to compete in the NC a few years back. Had no preseason polls existed they would of never made it to the game because they would of been buried. Not to mention teams they played get past "love" which hype them up even higher. Take LSU for example that year, say they started off top 5, lose, they fall to 15. Then they beat an overrated and hype job Florida they are back in the top 5 but then lose again and still stay in top 10 because of some myth that these teams are great is trash. The SEC has and will always be an overrated conference spearheaded by one really good team and a bunch of hype jobs to propel that team to the highest rankings.
BAMA is getting railroaded by a middle of the road PSU team right now.
