[QUOTE="FightWinDrink, post: 326073, member: 2261"] I think it was just a for fun thing. The AP did an all time ranking which goes back to their first year. For the record in that we actually come in 1 spot lower. Still misses 2 of our title years (technically misses all 4 since the AP has never ranked us 1) [URL]http://collegefootball.ap.org/top-100[/URL] edit: also to elaborate on the reason I mentioned that the coaches poll is generally less respected. It's pretty widely accepted that the coaches poll historically has much more bias with coaches voting up their opposition to make themselves look better (case in point the random losing record B1G teams that are ranked) or just hand the ballots off to assistants to do whatever they want with the votes. Not saying everyone does it that way but for a long time it has been considered the less prestigious poll to win at least when compared to the AP. Now it would be ridiculous to claim that the AP poll is without bias itself but the coaches is just seen as more inaccurate. [/QUOTE]
