You don't take a poll to determine a sports champion. There IS NO champion. There CANNOT be a sports champion determined by a poll.

You can't have four people play two games of chess and then come up with a "champion".

You can get "the most popular" that way, and you can get "the one we voters think most likely to be champion". But you CANNOT get a champion.

Imagine stopping the NFL playoffs right now and taking a poll to determine the "champion". Stupid. It would not be tolerated.

The Cardinals would be the champions of baseball right now if we had "picked" a baseball champion this way.

There will be NO "champion".

Well that's the biggest argument against the AP.

I believe the Pittsburgh Steelers are the best team in football. The silly NFL are wasting their time with a playoff to determine what we all know to be true. :-)

Not in my house. My sone and I went to game three and cheered our hearts out for the Red Sox.
