What does this poll mean. I thought since you had Auburn in there it was some kind of joke. Maybe it is. If it isn’t then not including the Crimson Tide is just insane.

The FWIW poll ignores the fallacy of regular season polls because they are based on the ludicrous pre-season polls that judge teams before they have played one game! Talk about insanity! Alabama is not in the top 10 because their opponents didn't have any wins while the top 10 all had opponents who had one victory. The number of an opponent's victories is a factor in the FWIW top ten.

Alabama beat Va. Tech which has a victory, or do you mean when they played them? I mean, it's hard to beat someone who has a win when they haven't even played a game yet.
