They give too much weight to start points and previous year’s results. Also,
computers are basically doing power rankings, which is not what the AP poll is supposed to be.

Cal is 4-1 and unranked. UW is 4-1 and ranked 15.

It was a fluke that Cal beat UW, and the voters know it

The game ended at 1:30 am after a 2.5-hour storm delay.

I did grow up a Husky fan (now they are my second team), but I pinky swear I'm not biased. 😉

i live 26 miles from husky stadium. They are my number 3. The loss was not great

I'd bet less than half of voters even know Cal and UW played.

You may be right; that's why the polls are dumb. What about the computers?

I think the computers are right. But computers project forward. I don't think

Or maybe they’re swayed by brand names, reputation, and recent years’ results.

Yeah, but one of UW's wins was against BYU, so...

Cal's QB is out for a while now, so maybe the voters take that into account

Washington won @ BYU. Not many team have done that. Not bama, not Clemson.

Okay, but if the two teams played tomorrow, and you had to bet your house on one

problem is i watched the game. I already saw the outcome. I know how it ends.

They already did this, in Seattle, and Cal won. It’s real, not theoretical.

The rankings are often illogical and stupid.
