-
Others Receiving Votes: Houston 65, Southern Cal 40, San Diego St. 21, Troy 20, Tennessee 17, South Florida 10, Arkansas 7, Wyoming 5, Tulsa 3
Remember when HOU and TEN were preseason top 10 or better hypes?
POLL METHODOLOGY
The AP Top 25 is determined by a simple points system based on how each voter ranks college football's best teams. A team receives 25 points for each first place vote, 24 for second place and so on through to the 25th team, which receives one point. The rankings are set by listing the teams' point totals from highest to lowest. The mathematical formula is the same as the one used for the AP Pro 32 rankings and the AP Top 25 rankings for men's and women's basketball.
HISTORY OF THE POLL
The Associated Press began its college football poll on Oct. 19, 1936, and it is now the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at the end of the season. The preseason poll was started in 1950. A panel of 61 sports writers and broadcasters from around the country votes on the poll weekly. All of the voters have an extensive background in covering college football. Alabama's ten AP national titles lead the way, with Notre Dame sitting second with eight. Oklahoma has seven, while Miami and Southern California have five each. Each team's ranking will be mentioned in AP stories throughout the preseason and the regular season, along with a link to the Top 25: collegefootball.ap.org/poll

Gotta beat OSU in Cbus 1st

Why is OSU ranked ahead of A&M other than preseason ranking?

Welcome to a Big Ten fans world when asking about 1 and 2 loss SEC teams the last 5-6 years.

As an OSU homer, even I have to admit they were ranked way too high at the start. Lost a ton of talent and there would be some learning/growing pains.
I figured they'd get better as the season progressed. That's not the case.
They're re definitely in a funk right now. While it's possible they may win out, I highly doubt that happens.
But to answer your question (lol), maybe they get a pass because of Urban Meyer. You know, even 'Bama got passes due to Saban...even when they lost on their home field in consecutive years, they never fell far in the polls.

If you all remember OHIO STATE was rather busy stocking the NFL Draft last year, this is still a pretty young team except for JT and a few others. They will get somewhat better this year and next.
And you see how big Ezekiel Elliott was to this team last year. ....and my FL this year

First 6 and 7 are close in the AP I believe OSU is lower in other pools. Plus the B1G is still well represented in the top 20 here so obviously the voters here are weighting it that way.

Did you guys have some dominant wins against the SEC this season or something? Wisconsin narrowly beat LSU in effectively a home game. Any others?
Looking over the full rankings again, I guess I understand it. Three of our ranked wins have now dropped out of the top 25 while Penn State has creeped into it.

"SEC Fan" complaining about rankings..... Haha

Suck it, all. Ohio State/A&M arguments aside, I think we can all agree Washington hasn't done much yet.

I was real flipping drunk last Saturday didn't they just squeak by Utah for a win ? also the pac 12 is really down this year so they could win out except for maybe the apple cup game vs Washington state (rivalry game)

The winning score was a punt return for TD where there were three pretty blatant blocks in the back that went uncalled. Ridiculous.
The Pac 12 is down, but 3 of 4 of Washington's remaining opponents (4 of 5 if they make the PAC 12 championship game) are P5 teams with winning records. USC has as much talent as anyone besides Alabama. Cal loves to sneak up on teams. And the CCG will be difficult.
I see no way Washington wins out.

Don't know about the B1G but in the SEC it basically ends up coming down to the conference records of the teams they played from the OTHER division. And if that's all equal then it's a coin flip.
-
OSU would make the playoffs.
PSU gets eliminated from the tiebreaker from having a worse overall record. Then OSU gets by Michigan on the head to head...
... or it is the highest CFP Ranking. Which would also be OSU.
-
You can never forget about that SEC bias though...
-
They factor in overall records to determine division champions? That's trash.
SEC bias my ass. I'd bet a ton of money Washington isn't traveling to Tuscaloosa and Auburn and coming out 1-1. Their schedule is a joke. They have one ranked win, and the winning TD on the punt return had 3 blatant blocks in the back that went uncalled.
Don't know why I'm ranting though. Washington will lose a game. Book it. A&M may well do the same, but Washington is more likely to.
