Yeah, it’s an equivalent argument to “stop looking ahead, we need to take things one game at a time!” We’re fans, what we do has no impact on the game despite what we’d like to think.This is such a dumb train of thought, and for some reason so many fans have this attitude. Being ranked is a good thing.
Playoff rankings are all that matters. These mean nothing.

So...after we beat.the Oklahoma schools and are getting ready for Texas?I think what maybe does have an effect is if ABC dresses our quarterback up like a Greek philosopher to film a promo before a game when we're ranked in the top ten.
Looks better than Texas almost losing to Kansas at home.
Plus, it means automatic highlights on SportsCenter and Gamenight Final. Being ranked is great, free national marketing and exposure - even in the pre-CFB Playoff rankings.I used to be of this opinion. However, the publicity of being a top 25 team is what you should always want for the program

They lost by seven. On the road. To a higher ranked team.Michigan is a prime example why there shouldn't even be any polls released until week 4 or later.
The ONLY reason they will still be ranked this week is because they were so incorrectly overrated to start the season so high up in the polls.

You aren’t making your argument here.
That totally aside from the fact that everyone knows that early season polls are talking points only. That’s part of the fun of college football. If there weren’t polls, we’d all be trying to guess where teams would be ranked anyway.

Yes. They are still Michigan. Waiting 4 weeks doesn't make voters less biased.If there were no polls released until after 4 weeks of games.... would Michigan be ranked right now? Barely beat Army in OT, got destroyed by Wisky.... couldn't score at all against Iowa, etc. Not real impressive.
Kind of bull **** imo
I'd really like to get the Gophers in a bowl game.Kind of bull **** imo
