But that's the problem.

The bias of the polls creates an artificial but effective way of helping those same teams that benefit from the system by creating sort of a monopoly on promotion. And, generally, which ever programs are promoted the most, are the same programs that recruit the best. They are tied hand in hand. The more you are promoted, the easier it is to get player in all areas of the country to be interested in your school

The entire system is a ridiculous fraud

For this reason, it wouldn't bother me if the playoff committee started putting out polls earlier in the season
