Hey, remember all the way back, six or seven years ago in August 2020 when in the both the AP and Coaches preseason polls, the Ohio State Buckeyes were ranked second, hot on the heels of the Clemson Tigers with a healthy number of first place votes to boot?
Fast forward a month and a half and the Buckeyes haven’t taken to the field yet, but they have already dropped out of the rankings all together, then jumped back in, but now seem to be stuck in sixth place?
I don’t think that anybody with a brain needed these past six weeks to convince them that the polls are stupid, but can you believe that for the vast majority of college football history they are what determined the sport’s champion (and in some cases champions)?
