I’m expecting Ohio State to go to the #1 position this week too. It’s the next two weeks that will determine a lot, with end of season rivalries for some teams and division champs playing in conference championships.
That said, one team I won’t mention only has to play one game for a good chance at a final four spot plus a bye week before. Something screwed up with the system don’t you think?
I really have been thinking that they (everyone) should do away with Divisions .... (like what the Big 12 is doing)
This way it doesn't punish a very good team in a strong conference that would end up being better than the team on the other side that happened to win its side of the conference ...
Such as, all though I think Minnesota is having a fine year, I do not think that if they played Penn State for example that Minnesota would win 2 out of 3, or however many you want to play ...
Penn State in this instance gets penalized for the one bad game they had .... against Minnesota.
Same thing happens in the sec for the most part, you usually have Georgia in the east and thats about it .... this year theres more than that, but in most cases, so Georgia is in ... Bama usually is the Top team in the West, what about LSU on its good sometimes Great years, or Auburn ... Both may be able to beat Georgia (who won the other side) or someone else if it wasn't Georgia.
Take Florida this year ... how many REALLY think they are better than LSU and could beat them for the Conference Championship. Or could they beat the 2nd best West team, Bama .... if these teams played again.
This is why I would rather do away with the Divisions .... Problem is, it get very diluted when you have more then 10-12 teams.
