Two SEC teams with 4 losses in the top 25 being Georgia, a team with their star qb out. And A&M who has no semblance of defense.

If that's not bias Idk what is. There's a 3 loss LSU team in 14th place.... Golly.

Please change the thread title to AP polls. Plus this damn thing didn't convert well at all. It could be deleted if a mod wanted to.

 
The SEC Bias is rather apparent. Even though they cannibalized themselves they still get the "strength of conference" because of the fact they are the SEC. The proof will be undeniable if/when they vote a non undefeated SEC team over Ohio State at 13-0.

 
Maybe they're remembering the last time Alabama didn't win a National Title and had to settle for an MSU team ranked five spots higher than them in a bowl game blowout.

It was ugly.

 
The SEC has earned that level of respect. I think the rankings are fair. And despite Ohio State being undefeated, I think either Auburn or Alabama would take them behind the woodshed. I also think Missouri would beat them.

 
i wont really argue the mizzou, auburn, bama spots, although I think mizzou is getting shorthanded. But why oh why do Georgia and A&M even get in the polls? and SC should be behind the other one loss teams

I'm not sure the SEC has really earned it THIS YEAR

 
The SEC hype machine is working in this thread as well...where is the proof this season? Is it Ole Miss beating Texas during their defensive makeover? Is it Bama beating an average VT team?

Honestly the deck is stacked so heavily in the SEC's favor. Preferential choice in the NC games...home field advantage in the bowl games, bowl matchups that are tiered so their top teams play a lower ranked team from another conference (ie #2 SEC plays #3 big 10...)

 
Folks inclined to see a hype machine are gonna see a hype machine. The rest of us shrug. Who else do you want to put in there? And why wouldn't that qualify as bias?

I see the Top 2 teams, neither of which is in the SEC. I see Auburn and Alabama right after them, having played one of the best games in college football history.

Missouri and Oklahoma State are neck and neck.

Two loss Stanford is ranked ahead of two loss South Carolina.

Baylor and Michigan State might feel snubbed, but I don't think they get a lot of love in their own conferences.

Oregon played its way out of contention. No SEC bias there.

I see a three loss LSU and a three loss UCLA, with Northern Illinois and University of Central Florida sandwiched in between. How different would you shuffle those?

Texas and Texas A&M are essentially a wash. The Aggies four losses were a lot more exciting than ours.

Georgia lost a couple heartbreakers against quality opponents. Maybe some pollsters felt sorry for them. But #25 ain't much of a prize, and Georgia probably beats 5 of the teams ranked above them.

SEC has been having a good run lately. They would be over-hyped if another conference was demonstrably better. But other conferences and teams are flawed as well.

The truth is somewhere between hype and paranoia.
