Clearly, the sports media — specifically those voting in the AP college football poll — have lost all sense of what is right and wrong. They’re so blinded by their love and obsession with SEC that they’ve lost the ability to rank teams according to their actual play on the field.
That’s the only explanation for Georgia (11)and USC (9) being ranked so far ahead of Ohio State (14). Ohio State’s one loss came against USC — at USC. And the Buckeyes’ best player was sidelined. Georgia lost to Alabama. Georgia was at home — in their “blackout.” They were blown out!! At home, USC lost to Oregon State — who just got killed by Penn State. I understand if voters want to keep USC ahead of Ohio State because of head-to-head competition.But, there is no way they should be ranked five places ahead of Ohio State.
I happen to live in SEC territory — and work with a Georgia graduate, a Tennessee fan and a whole bunch of Gator Nation. It’s nauseating. And, now the media is drinking the same Kool Aid. Uggh.
