    and responsibility to maintain some objectivity through the ABC/ESPN cross promotional hype.
    "If static rankings hierarchies persist because of the silly and intellectually dishonest view that a team should be ranked based on its projected record, and not its completed body of work, various poll voters--and the commentators who reinforce those views on national television--are doing the sport of college football a grave disservice."

    This type of journalism has killed pro football - and it will either do the same to the college game .. or.. force the powers that be into a playoff of either 8 or 16 teams... which would cut out the static and the hurt to a great game.. college football :geauxtige
