STUPID POLLS
I try my best not to pay attention to the college football polls. I’ve always thought that they were stupid and I started taking them less seriously after I had an astrophysicist on my radio show, who was partially responsible for the BCS rankings.
Pitt is no longer ranked in the Top 25 in the AP poll after losing in overtime to to a good team on the road.
Penn State beat Youngstown State 44-14 and moved up a notch to number 18.
So, according to the voters, a team that that beats an opponent that it has no business playing had a better week than a team that lost in overtime, on the road, to a team that had won 17 straight games at home.
So, if Penn State plays Alabama close this week, and Pitt blows out New Hampshire, who goes up and who goes down?
Many years ago, I was asked if I wanted to vote in the AP Poll. I said no because I didn’t want to contribute to the stupidity. But, if I had a vote this week, I would have moved Pitt down a notch or two and I also would have moved Penn State down.
If I had a vote and Penn State gives Alabama a good game on Saturday and loses and Pitt beats New Hampshire 84-0, Penn State goes up, Pitt goes down.
