So after this weekend, we become irrelevant; or do we? The first college football playoff poll will be released after the games of the coming weekend and all the speculation about 'who's in' and why can start in earnest and then this all becomes an exercise in who cares. But it is fun and it is something that for whatever reason comes fairly close to mimicking the outcome of the selection committee..so on we go.
After this week, we seem to have more consensus than dissension between the two polls. The majority of teams now are within a few spots of each other in the polls.
