We forgive you for thinking that the Texas Longhorns were objectively a better football team at the end of the season than the Georgia Bulldogs. After all, the Sugar Bowl happened, we think.
Regardless, the AP Poll, voted on by the esteemed panel of 61 sportswriters and broadcaster around the country doesn’t care about your Sugar Bowls. About your head-to-head results.
Nope, the AP pollsters, collectively, believe that Georgia and Florida are the same teams — both worthy of consideration as the seventh-best team in the country.
As for Texas?
