That’s not what rankings are. If you want that just look at win column, we wouldn’t need a poll for that…. You admitted that you think cinncinatti can’t beat Bama or Georgia. So if you were an AP voter, following the guidelines set out in the poll, you would be obligated to rank Bama #2.
You just pointed out the flaw in the vote yourself. The AP voters are trying to have it both ways. Either Bama is #2 or they should be behind all the other undefeated teams. Since the voters just decided to rank Cincy ahead of Bama even though everyone knows Bama would beat Cincy by at least 3 TDs, then the voters are clearly rewarding a team for being undefeated even though they have an incredibly weak SOS. If they are going to reward Cincy for being undefeated, then all the other undefeated teams should also be rewarded by being ranked ahead of Bama.
