    Then I'll complain about it.

    It's ridiculous because we are a lot better than that while teams ranked above us continue to struggle to beat below average teams.

    The college football ranking system may be one of the most asanine traditional systems in the country.

    2014 rinse repeat - that's how it works with so many national voters - it'll take a few weeks for some to the voters to figure out we're not under NCAA investigation

    Here's why I can't complain. The concensus on this board is a 6-6 to 7-5 season. The national concensus was 5-7 to 6-6. Before last night we decimated two bad teams. Last night we dominated a very good team. There was no reason for us to be ranked before our win last night. I think the pollsters want to see if we are a one hit wonder or can sustain the momentum. We do what we're supposed to and the ranking will take care of itself.

    Agree. If we do our job as we did in 2014, we'll be ranked where we need to be when it counts

    Of course its asinine. But guess what? The rankings no longer mean anything. The only poll that matters doesn't start until Week 8. The AP and Coaches poll means less than nothing and I don't know why anyone gives a crap about them any more. I'd say the same thing if we were ranked in the Top 5.

    We debut at #17 in the AP Poll

    http://collegepolltracker.com/football/

    Better than the Coaches poll, but the true travesty is that three voters have us unranked.

    If anyone wants to do some twittering with me, we all need to have a word with the following pollsters, as they didn't even put us in the top 25:

    Steve Batterson of the Quad City Times in Iowa (@sbatt79)

    Jonny Miller of WBZ News Radio 1030 in Boston (Too old for twitter, it seems)

    Terry Hutchins of CNHI Sports of Indiana (@indysportshutch)

    It's a travesty that LSU is even still ranked after their trip to the woodshed last night. Vandy should be there instead.

    It is a travesty, an absolute abomination, that Auburn is ahead of us.

    Conversely, Dave Reardon in Hawaii is impressed. Number 7 this week and 23 last week.
