    Conspiracy by definition is more than one person.

    Complete ****ing stupidity needs only one attribute. Laziness.

    But it really doesn't matter. Wins count. Rankings are for superficial fans who's more interested in what the media thinks than actually winning on the field.

    Wow, this is so full of wrong as to be funny. Rankings matter, and always have in college football. There is NOTHING superficial about it. Even with the playoffs being determined by the committee, you are out-of-your-mind if you think they aren't influenced by the polls.

    Unfortunately, rankings subconsciously affect everyone's perception of the season. We need to do everything we can to at least get the last few stragglers to rank us ahead of LSU next week. I mean, we proved it without a shadow of a doubt to anyone who watched the game.

    By my count, we would have gained 64 points in the polls just by having the 10 or so voters who put LSU ahead of us put us in LSU's slot and move everyone else down 1.

    Just by those few lazy voters ordering their ballots in the objectively correct order for just these two teams -- that's enough to rise to 13th in the polls ahead of South Carolina.

    That's right, voter ignorance and laziness cost us a spot in the polls.

    If they mean nothing, what's the difference between a 4-0 NC State team and a 3-0 Florida state team. Same conference. One has a better record. One has a tiny dash before their name. You're telling me that doesn't matter?
