This is certainly true. Indiana was a fraud and shot to 12th or so by getting a blown call to beat Pedo State in OT. Based on last year and what they had back it was reasonable to have PSU ranked high in the preseason, but of course that turned out to be wrong. Still, Indiana benefited from this error and stayed ranked way too high all year based on losing to OSU and beating bad teams. Obviously this year was different since there were weeks of games in other conferences, but it was a good example of what happens.I have a friend who I agree with say there shouldn't even be top 25 rankings until week 4. Rather than hyping up some of these teams so early let them play then figure it out.
