NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Yeah, it would be better if they did them every week from here on out like the CFP selection committee does. I'm nearly positive they've been voting and conversing over a conference call about their consensus rankings for the last week or two if not more. I think they learned in 2016 when they released their rankings for the first time with, by the selection committee chair's own admission, no discussion amongst themselves beforehand that they need to smooth out the rough edges before putting something like that out again. For the last couple years I've thought their rankings were better than what the STATS and Coaches polls had at the time of their release.
Absolutely pointless. There are 4 weeks left in the season. Who cares who is ranked where right now. Especially if its like last year when the committee basically drew names out of a hat. Bison #1, JMU #2. After that its not even relevant.
Maybe you don't but I'd prefer a little insight and transparency into how the committee sees things right now. For instance I'll be interested to see how the committee ranks SDSU in comparison to the winner of the Big Sky showdown this week between Sac St and Weber St for the #3 and #4 spots.
You're also confusing last year for 2016. Since that initial ranking in 2016 that was a disaster they've done a pretty good job IMO of being fair and putting out a reasoned set of rankings. Like I said earlier, they've done it better than the STATS and Coaches poll have been doing at the time.
Maybe we need to set up a committee to rank the current ranking committee among previous ranking committees?
