Quote:What would be ideal is to do away with preseason rankings and in season rankings until a after, say, the 4th game. It'll never happen, but that would be the fairest way of doing things.
This. Perhaps the coaches who vote could come together and refuse to vote until the 4th week. The AP voters could never do this because they are so replaceable. But if the coaches got together, a small fraternity like that, maybe they could get an agreement not to participate until teams have shown their abilities on the field of play.
