Collegefootballnews rankings are complete joke (LINK)

[cyclonefan1983]

Auburn in the top 10, they have not played anyone yet

Iowa State is at 77 but they have ISU record at 2-2, I like to know the other team Iowa State lost too if thats the case, just kidding though....

Scout.com: CFN Ranking Of Every Team - Week 4

Nebraska #6?

 

[Clones21]

These idiots should be tied down and be burnt with lit cigars

 

[hurdleisu24]

I like basing them on what the teams have done but these are so stupid its not even funny. Auburn hasn't beat anyone, Neb lost to Va tech, I can handle TCU being ranked ahead of Boise but Houston should be ahead of both,Kansas has 1 win over anyone decent and the other games they have struggled

College Football Polls - CBSSports.com 120, BCS and AP Top 25

ISU #70 in CBS's 120 Poll. Also has our SOS to date at #24 in the country. Not sure how, but oooooooookay.

 

[hurdleisu24]

The SOS got a boost because Iowa is unbeaten and has played Arizona and @Penn St.

Hahaha...Iowa #7?? I enjoy the kool-aid from time-to-time, but #7 is ridiculous. They even say Iowa's Offense is "awful". Yet they rank us #7?

Then, under Penn State at #25, they say "Why the ranking is too low: It's not. This is a bit of a gift because the defense is so strong. Iowa isn't that good." If Iowa isn't that good, then why the hell are they ranking them at #7?

Either the guy making these up needs his head examined, or it's 20 different people writing these and the editor is too drunk at his desk to actually proof-read for consistency.

Would it be possible to make a RPI for college football like they do NCAA basketball? With only 12 games I don't know if that would be enough games to make it valid. I think it would be more accurate than some of these rankings that are based on one person's opinion or can be "tweaked" like the BSC.

I'm fairly sure that includes games we haven't played too. On our schedule we have ranked teams in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma St. Not to mention that KSU, Colorado, A&M, Baylor, and even ISU have all received votes at some point this year.

 

[Tre4ISU]

It is actually looking like our schedule will be pretty tough with 5 teams that will be in the top 15 or 20 at some point this year.

 

[CB21]

Rankings..are fun to look at..for these reasons.

 

[pujolsman]

I'm pretty sure we'd be in the top 20 if we would have beat Iowa, I think they put almost all the undefeated teams at the to even if they played nobody's..

 

[pujolsman]

And how is 0-3 Nevada ahead of us?

 

[vmbplayer]

And how is 0-3 Nevada ahead of us?

Probably because our record is inaccurately listed as 2-2 instead of 3-1. :wink:

 

[Tank]

I would think to hard about this poll! If you look down, they have Arkansas (1-3) ahead of UCLA (3-0) and have Michigan State (1-3) and Fresno State (1-3) ahead of Texas A&M (3-0). Schools like Air Force, Colorado St, Minnesota and Rutgers who are all 3-1 ranked lower than all
the above!!!!

Also, Auburn, Nebraska and Iowa as #5, #6 and #7!!!

TOTAL CRAP!!!

I believe that the closest thing the CFB has to and RPI system are the Sagarin ratings, which have Iowa at #5, and if anyone watched Gameday yesterday, the reporter that they interviewed from the Cleveland Plain Dealer has Iowa at #5.

I don't know why anyone would get bent out of shape over where CFN put teams, save your outrage for the coaches poll, which loses credibility each year...like today.
