Poll Dancing

The Coaches Poll just came out with LSU clocking in at lucky #13.  With the advent of the College Football Playoff, the Coaches Poll becomes about as irrelevant as the AP Poll.  But it is still talking season so here are a few thoughts.

*No real issue with the first 4 teams, FSU, Bama, Sooners and Oregon.  Would anyone be surprised if these were the four teams selected to play in the CFP at the end of the season?

* Overrated Teams

Auburn (5)

Stanford (11)
USC (15)
Texas A&M (20)
Texas (24)

*Underrated Teams

South Carolina (9)

Clemson (16)
Nebraska (22)
Oklahoma State (NR)
Marshall (NR)

Many of the talking heads in the media are worried about “bias” among the selection committee members of the CFP.  It seems to me a huge upgrade from letting the coaches have a say in who plays for the title.  That poll is rife with agendas, grudges and self-interest.  The basketball committee has done a great job through the years, I expect nothing less from this distinguished group.
