[quote author=SamAtoms1980 link=topic=17827.msg209131#msg209131 date=1509306833]The team that played in Corvallis on Thursday should not be ranked.
Well, sure, but the team that demolished ASU and Oregon pretty obviously should be ranked. One game doesn't define the whole season.

Yea, the team that did the raze job on Oregon belonged in the top 10. I wasn't trying to say that we should have fallen out of the rankings, but that I didn't understand how we could have beaten Oregon State by one point and then moved up. I expected us to land in the #23-25 range

Eh, that's not how rankings work, really. We won, others lost, so they dropped below us.

If voters are rationale and have complete information, then perhaps they take into account that Love did not play vs. OSU and anticipating that he'll return, they believe Stanford more resembles the team that played Oregon than the one that played OSU. I don't really believe they have complete data and are rationale, however...
