later in the season. You reward teams for playing games. And for winning games. Over time, as more teams catchup, and as resumes beef up, you move them up.
This year, of all years, should have included a TON of movement in the CFB rankings every week. AS the teams who started late start to get more wins, you move them up. But not before they prove it on the field.
But having team with 3 or 4 wins in the Top 25 or heaven forbid the Top 4, just is idiocy.
You can get them there later. But not now. It just reeks of backroom dealing.
