[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 992296, member: 2426"] It is a poll of sports writers. They were getting lobbied and getting threats. They wanted that to stop. It also tested journalistic integrity. Were the people voting on the polls "reporting" about the sport, or were they participating in the sport. From SI: [URL]https://www.si.com/college/2018/07/12/ap-poll-bcs-system-rankings-national-champion[/URL] The AP wasn't the BCS and it isn't Bill Hancock's committee. They can chose whoever they want to be the top team in their "fun to do" poll. It has no actual real-world meaning and was never intended to have. That, in my opinion, is one of the biggest issues with sports fans when it comes to sports "reporting". Many can't tell the difference between what is real and what is "professional wrestling".
